Will Fenton, Asst Dir

Dheeraj, as I just mentioned to Shreyas, we wouldn't release those for this year, since we haven't yet released our decisions.

Dheeraj Reddy

Could you let us know what are the stats for this year mse/cis batch?

Will Fenton, Asst Dir

10:10

Shreyas, we wouldn't release those at this point, since we haven't released the early decisions yet. Last year, we had 525 applicants and admitted approx 11% of them.

Thank you Will, I look forward to it. I also would like to know the admission statistics for the CIS graduate program especially for early decision?

Will Fenton, Asst Dir

10:08

Dheeraj, that depends on the program to which you applied. If your program has the Feb 1 deadline, then you'll receive a decision on April 5. If it has either the Nov 15 or March 15 deadline, you should receive it on Jan 11 or May 15, depending on which deadline you applied by.

Dheeraj Reddy

10:06

When will we be receiving the information regarding our admissions?

Will Fenton, Asst Dir

10:04

If you applied by the Nov 15 deadline, and your Application Checklist states you qualified for the early review period, you should receive a decision Friday, Jan 11, tomorrow.
