Fall 2007 PhD visiting days

Graduate School
1

<p>Here I have posted the schools whose Computer Science PhD program visiting days I am interested in. They are broken down into the ones I already know about and the ones I still need to find out.
I would like this information to help me make sure my travel arrangements to schools I have been accepted to do not prevent me from visiting other potential schools. I imagine others may find this information useful as well. So please post the visiting days to programs you know about and ask about others you'd like to find out about. </p>

<p>Visiting days I know about:
Princeton: 3/4-3/5
Brown: 3/8-3/10
Stanford: 3/9-3/11
Berkeley: 3/11-3/12 (I am still waiting for decision, but I found this information online)
U Washington: 3/13-3/14
Harvard: 3/15</p>

<p>Visiting days I still need to find out:
Carnegie Mellon
MIT
Cornell University
Columbia
Chicago (admitted but have yet to find about visiting day)
Wisconsin
U Penn</p>

<p>Are these the visiting days just for your specific department, or for each school as a whole, do you think?</p>

3

<p>I think they are for specific departments. I left the thread general enough so that people can post about any department. Though perhaps a more focused thread would be better.</p>

<p>For Political Science (or Government) Ph.D's at least:</p>

<p>I believe MIT CS visit days are March 3-4. EE's are March 2-3.</p>

<p>Thanks guys. I found out that Cornell CS has visit day on 3/3.</p>

<p>Update: I still don't know the Cornell CS visit day. The information I got was from an outdated Cornell webpage: <a href="http://www.cs.cornell.edu/degreeprogs/grad/PhD/PhDVisitDayPresentations/index.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.cs.cornell.edu/degreeprogs/grad/PhD/PhDVisitDayPresentations/index.htm&lt;/a>
This highlights the difficulty in finding out about visit days from websites.</p>

<p>Berkeley: 3/11-3/12 </p>

<p>same here (vision science)</p>

<p>Oh does that mean I got rejected from MIT? :-(</p>

<p>BTW, Cornell EE visiting days are somewhere in the weekend of March 30th. (And no, I have not been accepted by them yet!)</p>

<p>I confirmed what la<em>vie</em>est_belle said about MIT visit days from this webpage ( <a href="http://web.mit.edu/eecsgsa/www/events.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://web.mit.edu/eecsgsa/www/events.html&lt;/a> ).</p>

<p>So GSme, I'm assuming that I got rejected by MIT. Btw, GSme, do you know Cornell CS visiting days?</p>

<p>update: U. Wisconsin CS: March 23-24</p>

<p>Btw, maybe those of us who have not heard from MIT should not despair (yet). On their FAQ ( <a href="http://www.eecs.mit.edu/grad/faqs.html#20%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.eecs.mit.edu/grad/faqs.html#20&lt;/a> ) they said decisions are mailed out late February. Though I wonder how they expect people from out of town to make it to their March 2-3 visits.</p>

<p>JYEK, I don't know about CS visiting days. I know about EE because a professor from there mentioned it to me.
Well, I am not keeping my hopes up for MIT anymore! :-(</p>

<p>CMU CS visit day - March 23/24</p>

<p>My MIT CS decision came out on Feb 14.</p>
