Hi, I am applying to Transportation too (mostly as a part of Civil). 
 And I am also interested in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of California Irvine. 
  
But my profile is very poor and prefer not to publish it here. That way I am not your competitor, I suppose. As far as I am international applicant I consider myself as not strong candidate. 
  
Why you do not apply to Davis and UCLA and Berkeley as a part of Institute of transportation science? 
  
I wish you good luck and hope that we will meet each other on some transport conference soon!
