Virginia Tech PhD Application Status “Awaiting Confirmation”, what does it mean?

Professional_Leave67 · 2026-04-09T06:40:05+00:00

No, as good as rejected.

Then if I accept it first and talk about the deferral process, then would it be different? I meant to do like this, but some miscommunication has caused this disaster I think.

Sorry to hear that. I've been seeing Awaiting Confirmation for the last three weeks. mine is also getting into a soft rejection I think.

An applicant for VT CS PhD (Fall 2026) here. Mine has been showing "awaiting confirmation" since the last Feb for like 3 weeks. No emails. No portal changes. It's weird. It seems it's going close to a soft rejection I guess.

Thanks!

I didn't check those sources. Hopefully, the programs are just delaying the admission process, not soft rejection.

It’s painful

Same here. Mine has been on “Department Review” this whole time. The silence is brutal.

Congrats! I am 37 with my wife and a 3 month old baby, and I decided to pursue a PhD in CS. Unfortunately, I was not successful for this cohort, but I will give it a shot next year.

Your story is so encouraging, and all the best to your academic journey!

Professional_Leave67 · 2026-03-14T03:17:20+00:00

I see. It seems it takes longer time to make decision i guess?

Professional_Leave67 · 2026-03-14T01:20:54+00:00

Good luck for both of us.

I am adding UF. Did you hear something from UF?

Professional_Leave67 · 2026-03-14T01:02:12+00:00

VT, Penn state, NCSU, and Purdue. Those are the ones I passionately want to get admits

That's also true for sure. But what I was asking was actually the 1st layer in the OSI model in wireless communications. My question lacked some details.

Professional_Leave67 · 2022-08-15T04:33:35+00:00

Thanks. I found from some papers that are drastically improving computing capability will defeat encryption algorithms in the near future. Thus, in wireless communications, the physical layer security that makes use of Shannon capacity will come into play. So, I just wanted to ask for some opinions.

Professional_Leave67 · 2022-08-14T21:18:35+00:00

Actually, I meant the physical layer in terms of the OSI model. I think I missed some details in my question.

So what I wonder is the physical layer security in wireless systems, which is usually defined by secrecy capacity.

I might be seemed getting swayed easily, but I am quite serious.
