I have applied to computer science PhD programs and fellowships, and am now waiting for the responses. Vent here, fellow grad school applicants, because I know you want to. And to those who have applied to undergrad programs, you can join the party too. AHHHH my app is imba but it definitely has a weak point (GRE scores) which scares me.   | ||

OMg my marks are toss ups what if I don't get into anything? You'll get in somewhere =] hopefully you at least applied to a backup school or two! I'm studying for my GMAT right now... It sucks dude... I only need a 620 and admissions said I had a really high chance of getting in, so that helps a ton even though I'm an undergrad. Where are you applying to? I feel your pain, studying for those tests is the biggest annoyance/waste of time ever invented. | ||

FYI, for CS PhD programs, Berkeley and Stanford are tied for #1 (with MIT and CMU) according to the usnews ranking, which is primarily based on endowments. Cal tech and U Michigan are both top 10 but not quite S class. And yeah, I do have a lower ranked school (Around #50 I think) as a backup, but my real backup is a full time offer from a good company. | ||

i took the top 20 schools and applied to them all, plus 1 safety school the admissions process can be so random in mfa programs that you have to hedge your bets sadly, i ended up spending almost $1500 in application fees | ||
