  1. A paper in UG will have a huge impact on your application but it is not required by any means. Speaking with EE terms, you should be note that there are a lot of "non-linear" effects in the application processes. So, you can not be sure that whether the lack of something will effect your application as well as being 4.00 will guarantee your admission. However, talking from experience I think that having a GPA over 3.9, having done UG research, and applying to the areas similar to the UG research topic, and having 1 or 2 "research LOR" (as opposed to "course LOR" ) should ensure you admission of at least 1/3 (among Stanford,MIT and Berkeley). 4.00 GPA might bring you 2/3. but 3/3 if a little bit of dream ps: I can recommend you to stress your research in your statement of purpose as much as possible.
  2. if you published two papers in your undergraduate then you should be able to get into at least 1 or 2 of the top 5 ranking colleges. you can increase your chance by contacting the professors whose research areas are similar with the research you have conducted.
  3. Hi guys. In the letter offering Research Assistantship it says a monthly salary of $2200. I recently learned that some of this stipend will go to the taxes is there a web page that tells the tax rates of each state, so that I can find out my exact salary?
  4. I am an international senior year student at electrical engineering department of my university. I have been admitted to BME department at Johns Hopkins as well as EECS department of MIT. The research I will be doing will be basically same (medical imaging). In a ranking-like basis MIT is at the top in EECS and JHU is at the top in BME. In my country people usually did not hear much about JHU, so they consistently recommend MIT. I am really interested whether this is the case in US as well. ie, do people esteem more when you say that "I am at EECS at MIT", compared to saying "I am BME at JHU"? I have arranged a visit to Boston and Baltimore at 4-11 April. What should I pay attention during this visit to make a proper decision? How would you choose if you were in this poisition? Any feedbacks, comment are welcome..
  5. I am curious as well. Had an phone interview with a member of the committee and talked with the professor I want to work with about 2 weeks ago, but still nothing about decision. I wonder what took so long?
