Guys, guys.
 
Offered PhD at UCSB with funding. So stoked
 
To those who may find this: I wish you the best of luck, never stop fighting.

Hi guys,
 
Feeling pretty bummed here, got rejected from my best chance schools, Berkeley & Stanford, and I haven't heard anything from any of the other schools (Georgia Tech, UCSB, UCLA, UCSD).
 
I have a pretty low gpa, I know (3.3), but surely my work and project experiences demonstrate how I am able to excel at several different fields! I currently attend a big UC school and work for a great professor, but I want to become an expert in study signal processing and information theory, not photonics. Too bad my dreams have been crushed  . What to do now?
 
Any advice? I have thought about trying to get a small job in the bay, CA, but I don't know how to pursue my goals in DSP without grad school..
 
Experience:
- Nano-photonics laboratory - Paid research assistant for 1 year, using TCAD to prototype and study devices
- Big Electronics Corporation - testing intern for 1 year, tested volumes of boards, wrote automation tools
- Carbon Nanotube laboratory - volunteer for 1.5 years, imaged and investigates samples
- Few other internships
 
- Several original "design" projects and applications built
- Experienced in C/C++, Python, Web
- Background (in order of familarity): DSP, Systems, Nanotechnology

Wow, tough choice.
 
If you're looking to jump into industry right away (and are sure about it): I'd go for Columbia. Its well-known, can't hurt you.
 
If you're looking to get into research and development (and are sure about it): I'd go for UCI, according to you its a better research program. I can attest to the fact that they are an underrated campus (they have tons of new stuff!). Good in physics and sciences.
 
Maybe you should go visit. If you feel like you can rock it, New York might be good to you. Otherwise, peaceful, serene, amazing Irvine is always there for you.
