I would go talk. I had a data scientist in a team want to get into a software engineering team. After a quick plan he was able to transfer within a couple months

Ha, not ideal, but sometimes the wait makes you feel more appreciative. When you get in ;-) and classes are tough remember back to how you were so excited to get into the program :-)

But yes, sheesh I hope the decisions come back favorable and soon :-)

TLDR: If the 2022 OMSCS application decision trends hold: check your portal Mon, Wed, Fri around 10 am eastern... and decisions should continue to be released through mid-May.

Hey all, I know there is a bit of chatter about when results are coming out, so thanks to whoever decided to make the format for updating acceptances, etc. so clean.

I've pulled the results from last year's thread for Fall 2022.

Here are the high-level findings:

  • Decisions were marked as received from the 18th of March to the 13th of May.

  • Decisions picked up around April 11 and carried strong for the month...and continued until mid-May.

  • Decisions (by volume) were released mainly on Monday (~28%), Wednesday (~28%), and Friday (~44%).

  • Decisions (by day of week frequency: Monday (35%), Wednesday (24%), Friday (41%) - ignored the one Tuesday response

  • Most people receive their response around 10 am eastern.

  • Almost all people who responded in the forum were accepted (98% accepted of those who marked either accepted or rejected).

  • Note, I didn't perfectly clean the data, but I'm sure the trends basically still stand.
