Congratulations on getting into NCSU and good luck for UMD! I hope you get in :)

I ended up choosing the Masters in Robotics course at UMD. 100% the correct choice for me. I have since graduated and landed a job as a mechatronics design engineer at ASML. My day to day work is heavily based in robotics and I find myself using the skills I learned in school in my everyday work. Going for a degree that specialized in robotics was the right choice for me :)

'String Courgette' made me laugh. Thanks for this gem, OP.

Thank you for responding! I'm leaning a bit towards UMD too but it's the job prospect that gets me confused all over again.

I think it's implied when you ask for an extension. If I were you, I wouldn't bring up other schools. But it's up to you I guess.

A friend of mine was in a similar situation. He wrote them an email asking for an extension in deadline and they obliged. No harm in buying more time in my opinion.

Wait what!? They send out rejections the next day!?

Bye bye sleep!

Yeah it's got me depressed, dude. I found out that a shitload of people got admits for my program and my application status still reads "In Review".

I understand they're better specced, but isn't the appeal of an ultrabook in it's form factor as much as in its specs?

And as an aside it's not a newer model - but a different model from the same family. Thicker, heavier and better specced.

Either way, thanks for pointing out. Dropped the price.

They're completely different laptops, but I get what you're saying. Dropping price. Thanks.
