expected

The later it gets, the more likely it is that you are rejected. For those wondering: 3 summer REUs, 1 semester at JPL, 1 year lab assistant, 1 summer industry internship, no publications/conferences/etc. My GPA sucks.

at last!!

after all

Decision sent indecently late (on April 15 at 11:59 PM). Was earlier sent the "admitted to MS, reviewing PhD" notification. Already accepted a UMCP offer. Qualifications: MSc in Computer Vision. Two 1st-author papers (1 at a good journal (Pattern Recognition Letters) and another at a major conference (BMVC)). GRE: Q790, V530, A3.5. Toefl ibt: 103 (Speaking 22, R/L/W 27). 4-year TA experience and part-time CAD SW developer. Undergrad GPA: 92.63% and was ranked first/250 students. Pending: USC | Rejections: UW, Toronto, EPFL, MIT, CMU, Cornell, Brown, UCLA, UNC, UCSD | Interviews: IST | Acceptances: UWO (TAship -> CAD 12K/acy,) IST (RAship -> EUR 22.5K/y), UMCP (TAship -> $20.5K/acy) | Declined: UWO, IST. Thx u all 4 ur feelings. IMO, so many rejections r bcz: (1) LORs not from well-known profs. (2) Recommenders don't have instituional emails (LORs sent from gmail, yahoo etc) --> My app. was thus a LORless one.

I'm almost certain I'll accept.

For UCSD applicants, UCSD never sends rejections. There are about 3, 000 people on the " waiting list". Please don't even think about it. It is indeed possible to receive an offer of PHYSICS, CHEM, or BIOLOGY from any universite, because they need to maintain a certain number of new students. However, this does work for Electrical Engineering.

To the person below who is waiting, I think you are in a waiting list. Now that the person above you rejected his offer, you might get a chance.

I declined their offer of admission today.

:D

Sc*** them!! .. I got into better schools

of course no fund. i will not go there

Was waiting for this

good bye californnia :'(
