Today I was able to get my UIN (University Identification Number), though that does not mean that I have been accepted. The online program coordinator for the CS department confirmed that my sample Java program and my statement of purpose have been received. Apparently it may take another few weeks for Admissions to evaluate my application, which is unfortunate as it would miss the September 15-30 window for online CS applicant evaluation by the CS department. But I was told that there was a good chance that there would still be room for additional applicants after September 30.
I’m somewhat disappointed that Admissions hasn’t made more progress in evaluating my application, as the application was received by the University on September 11.
I’d keep my fingers crossed, but I know that it’s bad luck to be superstitious.
