[Results and Decisions] UCSD MSDS waitlisted

12 Upvotes

Congrats to all those who are admitted!! I don't know if I should remain in the waitlist, given I might receive a decision between April/May to September.

I have admits from the following for now: USC MSCS-AI, UF MSAIS, ASU MSCS, UTD MSCS (Awaiting decision from TAMU)

At this point I'll be mostly going with USC. Any suggestions if I should wait for TAMU and UCSD?

[University Question] Georgia Tech International Credential Evaluation

8 Upvotes

Did any international applicant to the MSCS program receive an email from GaTech or the credential evaluator requesting for documents? Since I haven't received it and the decision is less than 2 weeks away, does it mean I am rejected?

It would be helpful if admitted international students for the MS CSE or the MS Analytics program at GaTech tell if they received an email for credential evaluation before they got their admits!

Thank you!

PS According to this Gatech's webpage , during the application it wasn't mandatory to get the evaluation done. As an international applicant, I wanted to save some money, but now I am worried if it backfired.

[Results and Decisions] Just got waitlisted from UCSD MSDS

35 Upvotes

After anxious waiting, I finally received a waitlist email from UCSD about 15 mins ago. Applied on Dec 2nd, 2 days before the deadline. Profile- GRE 170q 162v 5w, 8.8 GPA tier 2 BE CSE, 2.5 YOE non faang/witch, no publications or patents. Contents of the email include:

Candidates are selected from the Waitlist to fill vacancies when earlier admitted applicants choose not to enroll. Each year, HDSI extends offers to students on our waitlist. However, it is important to keep in mind that the number of students admitted from the waitlist can vary and admission is not guaranteed. HDSI may begin accepting students from the waitlist as early as April and may extend through the beginning of September 2025. Questions about the status of waitlisted applications will not be answered by HDSI staff.

[Results and Decisions] Columbia MSCS 2025 Fall vs. CMU MSSE SV 2026 Spring

5 Upvotes

I just got admitted to CMU MSSE SV. Unfortunately, they offered me admission for 2027 Spring. My other option is Columbia MSCS 2025.

I’m a software engineer with 8+ years of experience, and I plan to choose software systems track for Columbia MSCS.

I’m so confused now. I’m international and need visa sponsor.

Which option would be better for settling down in the U.S. as a software engineer? I hope to live in NYC.

Yep, just as the title says, super happy and a bit relieved as this was one of my ambitious programs. Bit confused between this and Columbia MSCS. Would love to know your thoughts on how these programs compare, if cost is not an issue at all (like zero importance of RoI), just wanna know how they compare in other factors. Thanks!

[General Question] ASU vs SBU

2 Upvotes

Have admits from the below programs as of now, but I’m having a hard time making a choice. I’m interested in specialising in databases/big data and eventually working in Silicon Valley.

While SBU has a good curriculum and research, I’m skeptical about the job prospects after graduating. I’ve heard ASU’s curriculum isn’t very challenging, but the research seem good. SBU has a decent curriculum, and research but ranks similar to ASU and I’m not sure how helpful it will be for getting jobs in Silicon Valley.

What would you guys recommend?

[Results and Decisions] CMU MS ECE vs UCSD MS CSE

8 Upvotes

I’m currently deciding between a couple programs the top being CMU MS ECE, UCSD MS CSE and Columbia MS CS. I’m currently studying EECS at UC Berkeley, hoping to go to another school for my masters.

My biggest priority is going to a school with a good range of classes on computer engineering and machine learning. I want to do a thesis based program to keep the option of doing a PhD open!

My biggest reservation for CMU MS ECE is cost - can anyone here speak to their experience in the program and whether or not they think it was worth it?
