So you are saying that if they specifically refer to the weekend as a RECRUITING weekend (i.e. that is the title of the invitation, there is only a small time slotted for meeting with POI, most of the weekend is tours, drinks with grad students, dinners, and they paid for flights and hotel) that I am most likely accepted?
Very cool. I have met both of them when I went to visit last month. I am interested in public transportation, high speed railway, passenger transportation, traffic operations, traffic flow, and network operations.
At Irvine, I am interested in working with R. Jayakrishnan or Wen-Long Jin. At UIUC, I am interested in working with M. Rapik Saat, C. Tyler Dick.
I'm sure your profile is superior to mine, like most applicants are.
I looked into Davis and Berkeley. Berkeley has a lot of research going on that I like. But I believe ITS is much stronger at Irvine than at other UC schools, IMO.
Also, I have close friends/family near each school that I applied to. That had a large factor in deciding where to apply. I want to make sure I am happy and healthy while going through grad school
Have you applied to Illinois or Irvine, or are you just looking at them?
Hi all,
Just wanted a place where all the Transportation applicants can congregate and discuss the admissions process, funding, acceptances/rejections, etc., etc.
I am a Civil undergrad at Colorado State. GPA 3.41, GRE 154/156/4.0
Applied to: University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of California Irvine, University of Southern California, and Villanova.
