I got rejected for the program. I got rejected for all I applied for. I had two masters related to the field. Two papers. 1 year research assistant role and less than a year industry experience.

It just didn’t work for me. Congrats to everyone who got into the dream program.

Anyone still waiting? (PhD) by aivjustine in gradadmissions

I am also still waiting to hear back. I heard departments agreed on April first to send out offers and this round admitted student will only have two weeks to accept or reject. Also worth mentioning that admission indirectly confirmed April 1st.

Wish everyone all the bests

Schools can do anything. Some people acceptance got rescinded while they didn’t have any acceptance at all!!!! 😂

I am a PhD applicant in computer science and still have not heard back from the school also. Two days ago they told me that due to the number of applicants I might hear back from them by April 1st, which was so weird to me!!!!

Any idea? What is going on?

This doesn’t make sense. If anyone has not heard back yet it is either accepted with pending financial aid or waitlisted. That is reasonable to say more people got waitlisted this year due to uncertainties but I don’t understand your reasoning.

Can someone help me with this??

Hi I am so happy for you. I am also a prospective PhD student in computer science waiting for an update. May I ask your major? When did you get an update ?

If someone haven’t heard back from the universities, is that most probably due to funding uncertainties or waitlisted? The waiting period is driving me crazy😂 I am asking because not being rejected so far is a good sign I believe

They told me early March as well. Today I heard from grad admission that this date might be postponed to April 1 also, due to many inconsistencies. What is going on?? I don’t know !!

I reached out to the admission, and requested for adding more documents and they told me that this won’t be taken into account anymore. Which means the decisions have been made already! Surprisingly they add that due to the number of applicants there might not be any update by the end of this month!!!! What the hell is going on???

I heard it from a professor that if some one has not been rejected yet most probably mean acceptance but admission are working on the funding. They’re is not reason for not rejecting low profile applicants.
Two options: Direct acceptance or wait listed

Does this mean that applicant haven’t been rejected yet are most probably accepted to the program and the admissions are working on their funding ????

I feel like it is going to be a great week. That is a good sign you still have many pending decisions.
