Got a call today - officially accepted to Stanford! For those that are curious, I did 2 interviews via phone/Skype with professors and did not attend the on-campus interview/visit weekend.
March 12-14th!
Good luck on the scholarship search!

I have talked to several graduate students who received the GRFP and a lot of them did what you are planning on to do. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with stating that you intend on continuing your research with Dr. xxx, as long as you justify it.

isawnewton got a reaction from t1racyjacks in Applied to PhD in Mechanical Engineering - acceptance chances for English girl at UC Berkeley?!
Your GRE quantitative is low. Conversely, your GRE Verbal is higher than most candidates who get accepted to top engineering programs. If Berkeley uses a combination of your GRE and your GPA (without weighing the Verbal and the Quantitative portions differently), I think you *should* be fine for the initial cutoff. Usually, for top programs like Berkeley, GRE scores cannot really help you much but they can hurt you if they are not at par with the rest of the strong candidates.
Anyways, can you elaborate on your research experience? Research and your LOR writers' descriptions of your research ability probably comprise the most important part of your application. It also depends on how well you can tie in your interests with your abilities.
P.S. If you don't mind divulging this, which group are you looking to join at Berkeley? I am a Mechanical Engineering student as well You can PM me this if you prefer.

Don't worry about it, as long as your application matches your transcript.

I'm trying to decide between Master's programs in computer science at CMU, Harvard, and Yale.
CMU's Master in Language Technologies program is really tempting because of a research fellowship/stipend offer. Harvard and Yale's Masters in computer science programs are not offering funding. Harvard is probably a bigger contender right now than Yale because of name/rankings, but thoughts on that would be great too.
I know that CMU is ranked more highly in CS than Harvard in many rankings, but not in all. For the moment, I'm leaning more towards CMU because of the department ranking/financial reasons/professors and research that interests me more, but it's pretty hard to turn down Harvard.
Also, because of some things I've been told by the admissions people, choosing CMU could likely to lead to a PhD if I decided to do one (I really have no idea at the moment). The chances of that happening after the Harvard Master's program are smaller. At this point I think I want to go into industry after I get my master's (although that could certainly change), so in that sense having a Harvard degree on a resume could be a big boost. However, I'm pretty sure that a lot of good companies are aware of CMU as a top computer science school, so that may not be an issue.
Anyone have any thoughts/comments/suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help!

well there's also 'I suck' which doesn't seem like a festive CNY option....

these things -- there will never be legitimate evidence, simply because you can't prove such things.
I suppose I should change it, in case I get sued and I still have to be all professional right? so let's go ahead.
