Help me decide!

Did anyone reject a *funded* offer from UCLA in EE? (fellowship or RA)

Hey, I guess you figured out your funding award by now. Let me know if not. What's your area? Who do you want to work under at UCLA? Thanks and good luck!

This really sucks.. I got no info neither.. funding seems to be really tight.. Does anyone know what's the cost of attendance for PhD if we only have to take 1 class? is it like 3K a year? :s

Counted? lol.. k that's a good estimate then.. yeah I hear the average award success rate is 10% across all disciplines (http://www.training.nih.gov/trainees/documents/nsfgrfp.pdf page 9), so there you go.. waiting is painful...

Does anyone know how many awards are given out every year for electrical engineering students?

Does anyone know how many PhD students they funded this year? (with an MS already)

Break is over for UCLA, so we should be hearing back soon about funding. It's almost April 15!!! If anyone gets any piece of useful information, please share it with the rest of us.

Yeah I haven't heard about funding yet and I got my offer early in February. I heard that they gave out a few fellowships, but I don't know what's next now (I'm in CTS). Anyone else has any information regarding funding for PhD students?

They mentioned during the open house that students have to get in state tuition first before they get any waiver, but I don't think that's set in stone. Thanks for the information

Looks like we're gonna have to wait until Monday.. anyone heard anything on Thursday and Friday?

Cool congrats! Is that your top choice so far?

Thanks for the information. I have no information regarding funding for MS students. My current adviser provided me with the following information just now: (from an automated email) The Department of Electrical Engineering, the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and the Graduate Division will be closed March 24-26. We will re-open on Monday, March 29, 2010, at 8 am. If your email is concerning funding offers, they are being prepared and will be emailed as soon as they are available. Please understand that each offer has to be reviewed and approved by multiple individuals before it can be considered final. Only final offers are emailed to the students. Once all offers have been emailed to the recipients, we will email all admitted students.

To all the MS and PhD students accepted at UCLA: Given that I as well as some other fellow students are not getting any information regarding the funding situation at UCLA, this is a good place to discuss what's happening in that regard. Feel free to update other applicants about what's happening if you contact anyone in the department, and good luck to all! Question: To the ones already with a MS degree and going for their PhD only, can you share your profiles? I'll start with mine: UG GPA: 3.82 (average state univ back east), GRE Q800 Vcrap (below 400) A 4.5, MS GPA 4.0 top10 US school, 2 internships, 2 yrs research experience.
