Hi all, I have just joined this forum. I have received admit for MS (without aid) from Wisconsin-Madison in ECE. I am planning to study Computer Architecture (CA). I have few questions regarding funding and future job prospects at Wisconsin. 1) Does anyone know about the funding scenario in the CA group? If I pay for my first year fees, what are chances of getting any TA/RA funding for second year at Wisconsin? 2) Which companies come for campus recruitment in CA? What is the average/maximum starting salaries in this field? I checked the university website (https://ecs.engr.wisc.edu/public/student/offers.php). They have very few datapoints about ECE (just 5 offers) to make any intelligent decision. My profile is as follows: UG: IIT Bombay (India) in Electrical Engg. (CGPA=8.39) Work Exp.: Aug'08-present in Texas Instruments (India) GRE: 1560 TOEFL: 108 Any help will be very useful. Thanks and Regards, Sanish
