  1. Hi all, I've got offers from Ohio and Penn State with funding and maybe will get an offer from UCSD (I've contacted a prof.). My branch is electromagnetics. If I go to penn state I will work on remote sensing and if I go to ohio I will work on computational electromagnetics. If I manage to get an offer from UCSD I will probably work on RF-microwave systems (maybe MEMS). Currently I'm leaned towards Ohio mainly because of the prestige of ESL. The downside of ohio is that I know my potential advisor is very strict and harsh to his students. Although I'm not very emotional, I know that I may get demotivated. The 15 April deadline causes me to freak out. Any comments will be appreciated very much.

  3. For this application semester, I haven't seen any RA position offered from a state university (at least from an ECE department) on the results page. I've also been admitted to two state universities and still haven't heard anything on funding. I emailed them and learned that the RA positions are in fact not delivered yet. I guess that this situation is related to a possible decrease in the not-yet-declared federal research funds. What do you think on this issue? And has anyone got a RA offer from a state university?
  4. I still haven't heard from U of M, UCSB, UCSD and Penn State. Is it too naive to still have hope at this point?
  5. To be honest, I feel pretty depressed right now. It's not your fault anyways F*** the economical crisis, if those high income "economy" guys were doing their job properly, maybe we would have a chance to spend the next 5-6 years of life with minimum sleep and eating disorders. Now, i feel like I've spent the last four years of my life for nothing. FML.
  6. I am exactly in the same situation. I've contacted a faculty member about 1 month ago, he said that the decisions will me made in a few weeks. However, I still haven't heard either from him or from ESL. But I've found a statistics about graduate funding in OSU, and it said that %95 of the first year graduate students are funded somehow (GRA, GTA, GAA etc.). So, don't need to loose hope, but I'm still concerned. If you hear anything please let me know. Also have you tried to mail the secretary? I was thinking about doing it but I am scared that it may effect my chances.
