That was a loaded response! By the way, thank you so much for providing me with all this input. It actually really helps with my decision. I'm actually from California too. P.S. My mother actually told me to go to UCSD since my twin brother already goes there. She doesn't know what Stanford is. Haha.

Even if there are fellowships for MSc, I think it would be extremely unlikely that I'd get it. I got accepted for MSc for Fall 2014. As of right now, I am only planning to get an MSc. So research aside (because it seems unlikely that I would be able to do any research as a terminal MSc anyway), would Stanford be my best option then if I wanted to do analog/RF circuits since it is coursework only, connections with silicon valley(?), and name? I am asking this based on what you said before on how most electronic circuits and systems MS students take the comprehensive exam and to me, it makes the programs somewhat similar?

Are you going for a MS degree too? How hard is to join a research group at UCSD as a MS student?

Hey guys, Decisions are starting to come out and I wouldd like some input on which school would be better for a terminal MS EE program between Stanford, UCLA, and UCSD. My concentration would be analog/RF communications. I understand that for Stanford, there would be absolutely no chance of funding as the MS program is a cash cow for them, but does that mean that it's suppose to be a bad program? I read that people get accepted really easily but is that really the case? It seems like there are still a lot of rejections looking at the admission results on here. How about UCLA vs UCSD? Thanks.
