<p>amalee, congrats...you're kicking ass. capt. scruffy, i'm in the same boat. i'm 0 for 2 (chicago, columbia), and am starting to get a very bad feeling about the rest of the programs i applied to. damn poli sci depts...they're all obscenely competitive!</p>
<p>WTG Amalee! Outstanding.</p>
<p>Hey guys , </p>
<p>new to the forums!! heres my list</p>
<p>Gatech- Phd- CS - Waiting
UIUC- Phd- CS - Waiting
USC- MS - CS - Waiting
Duke- MEMP- Waiting
York U (Canada)- Msc-CS-Waiting
University of Texas at Dallas- Phd-CS- Waiting
UC- Irvine- MS- Accepted (No money :( )</p>
<p>Just out of curiousty any of you guys heard about the MEMP program at Duke , and hows UCI in everyone's opinion????</p>
<p>hey piku</p>
<p>i am accepted into UCI's CS master program as well, and all my professors speak fairly high of its program.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, for my interests, A.I., especially in neural networks, intelligent agents, multi-agent systems, and machine learning. Its doesn't seem to be a good match.</p>
<p>However, if you are interested in data mining, UCI has plenty of professors in that field.</p>
<p>edit <strong>how did you find out about the funding info? did you contact them personally?</strong></p>
<p>Amalee,</p>
<p>I'm also quite impressed. Poli Sci PhD's are known to be insanely competitive, with hundreds of qualified applicants vying for about a dozen spots. Congratulations!</p>
<p>I for one, am hoping that masters programs in Poli Sci aren't as bad, cause they is probably where I'm headed...</p>
<p>hey soccer , </p>
<p>well I did email the faculty contact on my acceptance letter , and he said well you are admitted with NO aid. Havent recevied my acceptance packet yet so dont really know.</p>
<p>I actually am more into HCI , so I dont really know , + I kinda decided on grad school like 3 months ago , so I aint complaining I got into a grad school!</p>

<p>My fiance just heard from MIT aero/astro -- he was accepted! :)</p>
<p>He also has a great job offer, so he's considering deferring his acceptance for a year or two -- the company would pay for his tuition when he goes back to school, and would continue paying his salary.</p>

<p>Hey mollie,
That is simply super! Everything looks like it's falling into place for the two of you. Congratulations!</p>
<p>Thanks! :D We're super-excited. We get to be rich!</p>
<p>Sigh. I wish I'd get at least one year of my life where I'm not hours away from my significant other.</p>
<p>Of course, if we were both smart, we'd get to choose our schools...sigh. But hey, you work with what you've got, I suppose! :p</p>
<p>Congrats Mollie!</p>
<p>UCLAri, I was 2 hours away from my fiancee my last year of school, so I know how it is. But, it isn't as bad as a friend of mine who is in a different COUNTRY than his wife due to immigration nightmares. They get to spend their first anniversary chatting via IM and a webcam.</p>
<p>NJBeaglemom,</p>
<p>I've been apart from my girlfriend (now of 7 years)...</p>
<p>45 minutes while in my first year of undergrad
in Japan for 6 months
then 45 minutes again for a year and a half
then in DC for 3 months
then a year in Japan again
and now 3 hours apart for two more years</p>
<p>The best part? We're guaranteed to be apart again after I graduate, as my job prospects are in DC (State Dept.) Life is grand when the universe hates your relationship.</p>
