  1. I dont think we should look at general rankings seriously. For example.......if you are an engineering student............and if you look at harvard which is the no 1 in the world........for an engineering student it doent make sense coz harvard isnt great for engineering :crazy:.........not even close. All the top 3 ...........harvard , princeton and Yale arent great for engineering:crazy:. So, a student should look at the rankings specific to his program rather than the overall rankings :rolleyes:. This thread really doent make much sense to me. General rankings are based on a lot factors.......and it would be foolish to just follow these general rankings to make your decision. Look at the univs which are stronger in your subject rather than the overall rankings:rolleyes:.
  2. Congrats on the admit man :tup:.
  3. I would suggest you to go ahead with John Hopkins.
  4. @ roozbexm, In addition to CoC acceptance letter, I got a letter from Grad School also.
  5. For the juniors, all I have to say is "READ THE PREVIOUS THREADS". There are tons and tons of information in the previous threads. Make the maximum use of it. You will find information on almost every aspect of Admission process in this forum. If you still have any queries, then you can always PM us.
  6. The entire Application process has been an amazing journey. Right from the days of GRE, TOEFL to applying to universities, Waiting for the results ..... then finally the celebrations of making it to our dream university.....its been a one heck of a ride. I think the entire application process helped us to learn a lot about ourselfs. We did the kind of things that we have never done before..... our first recommendation.......our first SOP.......our first foriegn university..... the list goes on and on. But we did do a lot of new things over the past 1 year. And in the future ...... we are going to do a lot more new stuff. This is just the beggining. I have been using Testmagic for the past one year and it has helped me tremendously in my application stage. Without Testmagic, I wouldnt have made it to the top most universities in the US. So, I want to give a big thankyou to Testmagic and to Erin for providing such a wonderful place for people to meet :tup:.

Oh.....BTW, do well in your VISA's :D.
  8. I received my confirmation yesterday. They said its going to take 15 days for proceesing our I 20 's.
  9. I checked my Application Status. It says this. Application Status: Decision has been made* In the Bottom of the page, *Final decision has been made -- you will receive two letters in the mail -- one from the department and one from Graduate Admissions. PLEASE DO NOT TELEPHONE OR EMAIL REGARDING THIS DECISION. You must wait to receive the official decision letter.
  10. I think it will take another 20 more days for us to receive the GaTech I 20.
  11. USC all the way :tup:.
  12. @ Whyworrin, If it was for AI, I would have suggested UMich because if you look at their website and the areas in which their professors are working, you will know what I mean. But generally, Umich is not a great school for CS. Dont always go by the rankings. Umich may be in top 10 but it isint that great for CS. Say for example UCSD which is many times better than UMich is not in top 10. So, rankings always doesnt reflect the real picture. GaTech is absolutely amazing for CS. It's actually it's own school over there instead of being just a department. Its way better than UMich for Computer Science any day. But money is also a factor. So, do consider that also. Its a tough choice because of the aid given by UMich. Bottomline :- If money is not a factor, then choose GaTech. If money is a factor, then choose UMIch. That answers your question :).
  13. @ lord_girish, I have got into both Columbia and GaTech. I have decided on GaTech :whistle:.
  14. My suggestion is to always go to the best possible university you can. You can surely find some sort of funding at GaTech in the form of RA/TA's. The professors at GaTech are simply amazing. After GaTech, you can land up in Phd at top notch schools like MIT, Stanford, Berkley or CMU. GaTech name counts a lot when you apply to these schools. You can make up the money you lost for MS within 6 months after graduation. So, you can apply for Phd just after 1 year of working. You can surely land up in great university for Phd after MS from GaTech. So, always go to the best possible university you can.
  15. @ Eddie_the_Head and Ivo Thank you guys :).
  16. I received an admit from Georgia Institute of Technology for MS in CS. I will most probably take it :).
  17. @ Misspiggy, Nope. I had applied just for MS. Though they mentioned that I can get TA/RA once I reached there and talked to few professors.
  18. Hey Friends, I got my admit from GaTech MS in CS today.
  19. Hey Coolpaggy, Thanks for all the information you have given till now. I have one more question. I have got admit form Columbia University. I will get my I 20 only after 3-4 weeks from now. So,you see its going to be to late for me to apply for a VISA date. So, can I call columbia and ask just for the SEVIS number and book my VISA date immediately. This way, I wont have to wait for the I-20 to book my VISA date. I just need a SEVIS number of a University for booking the VISA date right? Then I can ask the university for just the SEVIS number and book the VISA date immediately. isint it. Can this be done?
