University of California, Los Angeles - Fall2011

Hi. I plan to travel to Los Angeles from Hyderabad during the 2nd week of August. I am going to be studying Film at CalArts. Is anyone from Hyderabad going to LA too? I'd like to discuss the option of travelling together.(Bulk air travel costs less.)

Let me know.

@All:

I am an international student. I would like to know the reputation of UCLA engineering program as compared to UMich and UCSD esp. from those who are in the US. I am thinking of going to UCLA over UMich and UCSD and wonder if this is the correct call.

@stacktrace:

Same here.

Hello guys,

I am gonna attend UCLA Electrical Engg. dept. from fall 2011. EE dept. coordinator has said that i-20 will be available in late May.

[USC vs. OSU vs. Umich]

UMich is obviously more prestigious. Btw what is ur specialization?

[EE admissions Fall 2011]

Hi guys,

All the decisions are out for me.

Admits: UCLA, UCSD, UMich

Rejects: Stanford, UT Austin, Gatech, Purdue, UMCP.

Need your suggestion in choosing the best destination for EE (communications and networking)

[UMich vs UCLA for Wireless Communication/ Communication Networks]

Can anybody throw some more light on the reputation of EE departments at these universities? How is internship and job opportunities scenario?

I got reject from Gatech. So I am left with UCLA and UMich and waiting for UCSD decision.

@dudulche : Thanks for the reply.

I am in 2 minds because of the rankings and the overall reputation of the schools is exactly the opposite. I am also looking at the job prospects in case i decide to quit after MS.

[UMich vs UCLA for Wireless Communication/ Communication Networks]

Hi,

I have been admitted to these schools for MS. Currently facing the burning issue of selecting the better one. Although Gatech and UCSD decisions are yet to come, I'll most probably going to Umich or UCLA. Right now inclined more towards Umich.

I am interested in Research and might go for PhD after MS.

Need help in making the right choice.

[Stanford]

I called them up twice. No one picked up. Then I sent an email

I have completed application to MS program in early November. Some of my friends who applied much later have already received the decision.Can you please inform me whether any decision has been made on my application? Is there anything missing in my file?

The reply was

Have they sent out all the admits? 2nd wave of admits was around 17-18 Feb.

I applied for Masters in EE. Should I expect a reject now? Any idea, what is the intake for masters?
