Well.. i'm done.. a long and agonising journey.. dealt with no mercy whatsoever.. after 3 admits, i was at the receiving end of 5 rejects which threw me up, turned me around and kicked me in the gut....:crazy:
The whole story :
Admits: USC, UFL, SUNY-Buffalo
Rejects: UWMadison, UUtah, SUNY-SB, UCSB, Cornell
Myself :
I am primarily interested in Computer Vision, and not sure whether i want to do a PHd later. Maybe an MBA after working for a few years. I want to take up a good job after i graduate. At the moment I have made up my mind to join UFL.
Reasons:
1. It's cheap + Partial tuition waiver
2. It's got a much better overall grade (check campusdirt.com) than some of the other colleges i applied to (I am not a hardcore bookie and enjoy a heady mix of work and fun)
3. It's got a computer vision center and full fledged research in CV
4. The beaches, ahhhhhh!
5. Lastly, I don't seem to have a choice ;)
So, what do you think guys? Any reason to give USC a second thought?
All the best to ppl who are still waiting and hoping....
AMEN
