  1. We're planning to have a get-together of ppl going to UFL for Fall 2006 from Delhi. We plan to discuss some of the things that concern us b4 making the long journey away from home viz visa, tickets, date of travel, et al. And most importantly know others attending the same school so that we feel more at home in an alien land to be. The details of the meet are : Date : 13th May (Saturday) Place : Barista, at PVR Priya Time : 11:30 AM my cell no. (just in case) is - 9810626474 Hope to see you guys there [:)] P.S.- Do reply to this post to confirm if you are coming
  2. Congrats Knd.. it seems good news just keeps coming for you! am really happy for you, mate!
  3. I faced the same dilemma.. but went for UFL USC is ranked higher .. yes.. but considering a whole lot of other factors, it turns out UFL is a much better bet than USC!

Newton.. buddy.. welcome to the club.. i see you are still waiting for results.. atb! amit, i'm also planning to leave by end of july.. keep me posted.. @SSF.. good idea.. for starters read the following http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~mhs/faq/index.html http://grove.ufl.edu/~gisa/newcomers_faq.html http://www.admissions.ufl.edu/annualcosts.html#ugrad

  7. Hi amit, Welcome to our very own private place in TM.. I'll be joining the MS in CEN course... I need to look for a room mate too.. but for the time being in want to get the visa job done with.. So .. have you already started looking for an apartment there? Is there a rush to find apartments at this time round?
  8. read my earlier thread at http://www.www.urch.com/forums/admissions-results/44317-usc.html hope that helps!
  9. That's not correct.. i have a hand to put up here.. That's all
  10. Calling all Gators who have been admitted and are planning to attend UFL this Fall..Let's come together and share our views and opinions so that we can make the transition to our preferred destiination a more fruitful one Please feel free to air anything under the sun.. room-mates/jobs et. al. Let's make this thread a one stop destination to anyone considering to attend U Florida Fall 2006... Looking forward to your posts...
  11. Write to the remaining schools, explaining the urgency of the situation.. and also write to UCI asking them whether you can stretch the deadline ATB
  12. Thanks mate.. Let's get active on the visa thread now :D
  13. @knd .. you still think like that? ... thanks for the pep .. but i don't know where that would lead me.. already i got pretty beat up applying to the middle tier.. somewhere something must have gone wrong :( @riteshn, raplhey.. thanks for your inputs on beach life.. that's a side concern however.. too bad the beaches are so far.. anyway... ...and knd.. you said that UFL has been pretty selective this time.. can you elaborate on that.. i mean how did you come to know of that ...etc All the best for Columbia! @CO2... hmmm.. ideally i would go SUNY SB.. seems it's very good for research n stuff... a post by riteshn(www.stonybrooksucks.com) does bother me though... i would really think twice about something if i got such feedback from past students... after all you need to have a decent campus life too....but that's just me...
  14. 5 in a row... but it's over!! He's a jolly good fella He's a jolly good fellllla He's a jooolly gooood feeeeellllllllaaaaaaa.... see..i don't feel anything
  15. 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
