I am coming into an ECE PhD program. Starting my research early this summer. I'm coming from Florida so I am also concerned about the winter!

Thanks! Good to know.

Can you please explain to me what the new rule is?

I wonder how many people applied from my undergraduate institution. I do not know anyone else in EE applying for a PhD program, at least no one in my senior design course is. Maybe that will help my chances.

I also have a strong research background so writing the relevant background is my only hope too! Not a female! haha

Mine is the opposite. I put a lot of time into polishing my personal history and relevant background statement but very little time into my research proposal. The research I have done in my undergrad is unrelated to what I want to do in grad school so I was not sure what to write on. Next year after I have started my grad research I can write a better proposal since I will likely not get it this time around.

I have not received anything from MIT so I assume rejection but it's not confirmed.

I am not sure who's offer I am going to accept. Right now it seems to be between GaTech, UMich, and Purdue. It's going to be a hard decision, I think. I hope the upcoming event can give some guidance. Congratulations!

The symposium? Yes I was there for that but really looking forward to this visit.

I'll be there!

Look at professor profiles of programs you are interested. If their research sounds interesting, read a couple of their papers. That's how I found my interest.

They are definitely still making decisions. I got an email last Thursday from a professor asking for an interview. Interviewed on Friday. Got admissions offer on Monday. I would try to reach out to any professors you want to work with if I were you. Congratulations! I just got my GaTech acceptance today!
