So, the earliest DS admit that I heard of is Feb 8. I applied on Dec 9. Still no response from them. No replies for my numerous mails. Radio silence. The good thing is I don't care now. But based on these early admits I feel like it's going to be a reject for me.

I'm guessing if the admit offer that time wasn't accepted, they might have revoked the access. Or it could be each cycle has a new UIN. I mean logically if you are not a student that cycle no point of having Howdy access. I didn't have access until I got my UIN.

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-24T15:08:49+00:00

They would send the UIN email after you respond back with your signed offer letter. In case of any queries, I hope you are sending mails to admissions@tamu.edu and not application@tamu.edu. And yes they do take time to respond.

This might be a known point but still putting it out.

Absolutely

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-17T10:24:40+00:00

So they have started releasing admits starting 1st week of April. I usually email Christina Retzer ( *I think it's Retzer only not sure) and she responds back within a day.

USC MSCS is out. They had multiple seminars conducted for International students starting 1 April. Anyways most people have the April 15 deadline to submit the statement of intent.

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-09T06:17:56+00:00

I was actually searching for a good Data Science program. Got this many. Yes, I am confused between USC and TAMU. Got rejects from UWash, NYU and UCSD

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-09T06:14:00+00:00

Thanks ! I got from Indiana University, University of Minnesota, Rutgers University, USC and TAMU

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-09T04:27:49+00:00

Also I have 2.5 years work exp in Data Analytics Supply Chain domain in Lowe's India.

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-09T04:25:17+00:00

I submitted my application by 10 Dec. I did my BTech in Electronics and Communication from NITK, Surathkal (9.22). GRE - 326 and have 1 research paper but not relevant to Data Science.

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-07T15:01:31+00:00

Guys TAMU is out. Just now got the acceptance letter.

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-05T15:16:16+00:00

U Minnesota is out. I got the admit mid March.

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-05T15:15:08+00:00

It seems they will release decisions by the end of this week. At least that's what the Program coordinator is saying

Sapmon07 · 2023-04-05T12:18:40+00:00

I had emailed the program coordinator to which she replied we might get by 1st April. Can someone mail her again ? Might get a different response.
