Help, Applied to 9 universities - PhD in CS, heard from 7, just 1 acceptance - NCSU
Hi guys,
I need some serious help at this point. I am a Graduate (MS) student in CS dept of SUNY Albany. I applied for PhD in CS for Fall 06 in the following schools : 1. CMU 2. COrnell 3. University of Minnesota 4. NCSU - Raleigh 5. RPI 6. University of Illinois - Chicago 7. University of MA - Amherst 8. OSU 9. University of California - Irvine Of all these the top 7 have intimated me abt the decision. just got an admit at NCSU, they are still takiing a decision on funding for me. I want to do PhD at any cost. I was so depressed that i have all of a sudden started thinking of a job, if nothing goes well, but a break is what i hate. How do you guys rate CS in NCSU, if my research interest is AI, Machine Learning and Data Mining Thanks, Neeral Beladia (beladianeeral@rediffmail.com) |

have you heard from UMinnesota yet?
All your universities are tough to crack for a PhD. Did you get rejected by UIC? (If yes, it would surprise me). I donot know abt the NCSU Machine learning group though.... Can you share your profile? |

Welcome aboard... both to TestMagic and to the 2006 Losers' Club... : )
I can understand how you feel... one admit, and no aid in that one... I must admit that I do have a few more schools still in the pipeline... As far as NCSU is concerned, I wouldn't really know about how good they are in your fields of interest, but otherwise its a pretty good school, and ranked 35 for Computer Engineering by USNews... if they give you aid, you should definitely consider it if the two remaining schools don't work out... |

bealdia, I must say Congratulations, because you got into a school! NCSU isn't a bad school, and you made it out of 700 applicants! I applied to 12 PhD programs and got into none, so you are in a much better situation
Right now I have no choice but to get a job. Working for one or two years isn't bad if it's a research job and it should also help you to get into a better school next time (especially if you publish papers while working). |
