Hello Daniel I agree with fuzzylogician. I just want to add that your SoP will be read by people from the admission commitee, which your prospective advisor may not be part of. Even if he/she speaks the language and knows your high school, the admission comitte may not be familiar with the name. So, as fuzzylogician said, just make sure that mentioning your high school name will support your argument. PS: It's good to see people from Brazil here.

Hello, guys! I just finished my applications. Fingers crossed! Good luck to you all! @luisalasnjr, how's your profile?

I am applying to MIT, Georgia Tech, UIUC, U of Michigan, UT Austin, Berkeley (Mech) and Caltech (CDS). I am interested in controls. What about you?

I know... but I won't be able to retake GRE.

Which research area are you interested in? MS or PhD?

You have very good verbal and analytical scores, and a good gpa. Your quantitative score is okay, but probably below average of applicants admitted to U of Michigan and possibly Northwestern University. A quantitative score below 90% is usually not considered competitive for admission to top-tier engineering programs. You should take a look at Georgia Tech. It has a very good robotics program.

Georgia Tech and U of Michigan have the best research fit, so they are my top choices. What about you?

Hey @luisalasnjr. Thanks for your reply. Are you also interested in the control systems area? I think my recommenders are going to provide strong letters of recommendation, since I have worked on many research projects with them. I haven't contacted the professors yet. Actually, I contacted people from the admission office at each university, and they all said to not contact professor until I have a decision on my application

Yeah, still waiting. We're all in the same boat... btw, what research area are you interested in?
