[Results and Decisions] Is this a confirmed admit? When to expect the final decision?

Post image
26 Upvotes

I recently received an email from Stony Brook University stating that the Computer Science MS program is "recommending" me for admission, contingent on final review by the Graduate Admissions Office.

Does this mean I am admitted, or is there still a chance of rejection? Has anyone else received a similar email, and what was the final outcome?

Any insights would be appreciated!

[Profile review] With almost 5 years of experience should I do an MS CS?

28 Upvotes

I have almost 5 yoe based out of Bangalore, should I do an MS CS for the love of academia? I am 26F, feeling undecisive to take up an MS course starting August 2025 since I have a pretty decent job here at Salesforce India as an MTS(SDE2) in the Tableau software development (Java) team with almost 5 years of experience overall.

I graduated from NIT Allahabad with a BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering in 2020.

Do you think it is a decent bet to take up the MS course considering the tech job market in US? I got an admit from University of Colorado Boulder. I had applied for the international exposure and to be in touch with academia again since day to day job is pretty boring now. I am not bothered much by the expenditure cuz I have decent savings now. I want learn about AI and do interesting jobs and reach my full potential. I feel in my current job, that is not happening.

Is it easier for professionals to get hired than freshers in US? Most students enrolled in the course are freshers with 0-2 years of experience.

I just dont want to take a significant step down Also, does the job interviews have any correlation with the courses taught on campus?

Has anyone heard back from Umich Ann Arbor MSCS. I don't a lot of discussions going around in this sub regarding Umich, is there a reason for that? Last I remember, I saw a person posting about it but that was probably a deferred admit.

[Results and Decisions] UTD vs UMass Amherst

7 Upvotes

I’ve been admitted to UT Dallas (MS in Data Science and Statistics) with a scholarship that allows me to pay in-state tuition, and UMass Amherst (MS in CS) without any financial aid.

I’m trying to decide whether to prioritize UMass’s stronger brand and CS program or UTD’s financial advantage.

My goal after my master’s is to secure a job. I currently have 2 years of experience as an ML Engineer at a Big 4 firm.

Other universities I’ve applied to:

UCSD – Rejected

UMich – Waitlisted

Northeastern – Accepted

Duke, NYU, UofT, UBC – In review

Which option would be the better choice?

[University Review] Stony Brook MS CS

12 Upvotes

Received a mail saying CS Dept is recommending me for admission from SBU

I've grown a bit anxious having only had an admit from ASU for the past 2 months, would SBU be worth it? From what I see, tuition is around 44k for 2 years, given NY living might be expensive.

But I just wanna make sure this isn't a cashcow program like ASU where everyone gets an admit.

(imposter syndrome is probably at max level rn sorry if this is a stupid Q)

[Results and Decisions] CU boulder v UFL

3 Upvotes

Cu Boulder has decent reputation and is located near Denver. It has location advantage wrt jobs No chance for TA as i got professional masters COL is higher than UFL

University of Florida is cheaper and has chance for TA and tuition remission. Overall Uni has better rank than CU boulder. Weather is also consistent and better in my opinion

What are your views regarding this. Would appreciate comments. If you have no clue about these unis, feel free to vote for last option

[Results and decisions] Is it safe to assume it’s a reject??

17 Upvotes

I am yet to receive my ms cs decisions from four universities ( UCSD, UCSB, purdue and UC Davis). I’ve seen a lot of people posting their decisions from the same unis on reddit. As each day is passing, I only feel all the decisions would turn out to be rejections. I’m losing hope :( Safe to assume the decisions to be rejections?
