Thanks for wishing me (and everyone) good luck. I wish you too get into the school you want to. And really, I am amazed by the clarity and truthfulness with which you have expressed your experiences. A lot to gain from them I know, we as applicants become very concerned about the results. Its kind of a sub-optimal behavior (pardon my use of adjectives) to be getting anxious about the results all day. But its a career defining thing, and I believe this forum is trying to act as a support group. But really, thanks for sharing your experience and pieces of advice. And welcome to the gradcafe!!

On page 10 of "CS applicants where are you??" thread leogk informs: So I guess its next week. I too haven't heard of interviews from MIT. Probably someone else can throw light on this. The waiting is really bothersome, especially when you don't have a single (positive) result out. @ fenguin: Have you applied to EECS of MIT?

Hey thanks for posting! Congrats for getting admits!! I am yet to get one... :| I too haven't heard anything from Stanford, except that it gave out a lot of rejections (as posted on the results page) in CS. All the best for that. I wonder what happened to my own UMich application...

Do you want to mention that in your SOP/Essays? I personally think its not the best idea. But then, I can't figure out how you can tell them otherwise...

Same question on my mind too. But I'm from a different field. Anyone has thought about Plan B/C/Z ?? Do give your inputs...

Is Berkeley done with CS too, I thought it was for EE. I haven't heard from any of my schools either, which are similar to yours. Have you applied only to these 4 programs? But if you ask me whether you are out of the running, I say definitely no, not at this moment.

Funding chances in EE/CS fields are very rare. Which field do you belong to? And what are the colleges you are aiming for? I don't think asking for funding will turn out be a drawback in your application. If you fit in, they will hand you an admit even without funding (almost all the time).

Hi, anyone there? were the berkeley offers for EE handed a week ago?

These are my two cents on this issue: A fellowship means no hassles in your research through the years. Its a rare thing to get a fellowship. IMHO TA ship is kind of boring. The univ wants you

congrats to both you guys!!

From the above it seems his/her admission was personally conveyed by a Professor...

Did include EE PhD decisions as well??

Hi guys, in case you are in 2009 AD ( ), we have two threads talking about results, one each for CS and EE PhD programs. Do pitch in with your victories, setbacks and opinions. EE : viewtopic.php?f=13&t=15070 CS : viewtopic.php?f=45&t=14693

I think univs give a lot more admits for the masters option because they don't need to think of funding these students.

Hi tedjj and rsp1218, if you guys are into EE PhD then do start posting on the official ee 2009 admission results thread :wink:

Hi, there is a new thread discussing admissions (acceptances, rejections, predictions) for 2009 and beyond.... join us there > Its for PhD in EE. :arrow:

IMHO, you are on your way to building a really strong application :wink:

Hey guys, this is my first post. There is an 8 page thread (as of new), for the CS applicants... but I could only get a 20 post thread partially related to EE .... so thought I should start this one. Where are all the EE PhD applicants gone???? EE PhD is one of the biggest programs with a lot of applications... So I am sure there are a lot of viewers vainly searching for EE related posts. Coming to the topic, Berkeley and Michigan seem to have sent acceptances ( not to me ....) for the EE program, if one looks at the results page. MIT made their decisions on friday the 6th (got this info from the CS applicants where are you?? thread ) Anyone else got admits rejects please post here!!!
