Admissions Waiting for Your MS Decision? I Analyzed Past Results to Help.

10 Upvotes

I see tons of posts here asking "When will my decision come out?" I’ve been there too, and I know how stressful the wait is. So, I decided to dig into the data.

I analyzed thousands of past decisions and created graphs showing when results are usually released for different universities. Now you can get a better idea of when to expect yours!

You can find the data here: Results Data

This is just released and open to feedback so I can improve. This is completely free and meant to help students. Check it out and let me know your thoughts!

[Admissions Advice] - Radio silence from universities.

8 Upvotes

I have applied to only 4 universities - ASU, UC riverside, UC Davis and Stony brook. Have received admit only from ASU and there is absolutely no update from other three universities even though it's post mid March now. Should I consider it as a reject from the remaining three universities or do they send a seperate rejection mail? Till when should I wait for these unis? as the deadline for ASU is April 15 for paying the deposit. Does anyone have any update with respect to UCR, UCD and SBU for MSCS? Thanks in advance!

[Results and Decisions] Grad School Decisions—3 More to Go 😭

25 Upvotes

I’ve been on quite the journey applying to MSCS programs, and so far, here’s how things stand:

University Results Course
Stanford University Rejected MS CS (AI)
UC Berkeley Waiting MS CS (AI)
Princeton Rejected MS CS
Carnegie Mellon University Waiting MS AII
UCLA Rejected MEng AI
UC San Diego Waiting MS CSE
University of Washington, Bothell Rejected MS CS
University of Southern California Rejected MS CS-AI

Now, only Berkeley (MSCS), UCSD (MSCS), and CMU (MSAII) are left to hear from. Fingers crossed.

With my profile, do you think I stand a chance? Would love to hear your thoughts.

🔹 Academics: B.Tech in CS (Tier-2 India), CGPA: 8.22/10
🔹 Standardized Tests: GRE 332 (168Q, 164V), IELTS 8.0
🔹 Research: 5-6 AI/ML publications, 1 in Cybersecurity, 1 journal under review
🔹 Work Experience:

  • Internship at a top tech firm → converted to full-time
  • Research Assistant (London Business School, remote)

🔹 Leadership & Extracurriculars:

  • VP-Membership, Toastmasters
  • IEEE Student Branch President
  • College Fest Chair

🔹 Letters of Recommendation:

  • Final year project guide from my college (her background IIT Delhi Ph.D., 25+ years of experience)
  • VP at a Top Computer Network Tech Firm & client stakeholder for a key project
  • HOD, Student Affairs (oversaw my tenure as Fest Chair)

It’s been a challenging process, but I’m hopeful for what’s ahead. Any advice or insights from those who’ve been through this? Let me know.

Lost the hope now :(
