Thank you for your interest in joining our group APPLICANTS FOR GRADUATE ADMISSION: SHORT VERSION: There is little I can do. LONG VERSION: The decisions are made by the admission committee, after input from faculty. Thus, faculty like me, can not give you any guarantee - only hints to maximize your chances for acceptance: My best advice is to try to obtain a recommendation letter, that compares you favorably to an earlier CMU graduate student, or equivalent (stanford, mit, berkeley, cornell, etc). SUMMER INTERNS: Unfortunately, we do not have positions for summer interns. APPLICANTS FOR POSTDOC POSITION: Negotiable, if both conditions are met: (a) you have secured independent funding covering all expenses AND (b) your ex-advisor is willing to compare you favorably to an earlier CMU graduate, or equivalent (berkeley, mit, etc). ------ Last update: Jan. 12, 2010, by Christos Faloutsos
