  1. my GRE scores might be was did me in, I had a very sub-par performance (for a variety of reasons, but I hate making excuses...) and didn't have time to retake before submission dates- 540 Verbal, 760 Quant, 4.0 written. for reapplying next year, I'm definitely going to retake and get 800 in quantitative....
  2. My research interests are in the domain of communications mostly - wireless communications, coding theory, information theory, networks. CS theory, though I haven't had much experience with it, is also the bomm. Cryptography and number theory in general I find interesting also. I know that UIUC is basically at the tip top of these fields, but I was born and raised in champaign-urbana, and I feel like my soul will die if I stay much longer.
  3. I should mention also that I'm graduating from UIUC with a B.S in EE with a minor in mathematics, with research experience, study abroad, 3.8/4.0 GPA, friendly, enjoy long walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners.........................
  4. I applied to MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford, USCD (wtf is the deal with ucsd? It was my safety but it looks like they didn't want any new ee/cs grad students this year), and Cornell. I'm not entirely surprised that I didn't get into the first three, but I didn't expect to get into none of these schools. I'm toying with the idea of just finding some research work to keep my level up and make some money in the next year, try to publish something, patent anything, and reapply next year... that or slowly sink into alcoholism glug
  5. I haven't seen many responses from Cornell on the results page, I'm starting to sweat. I've been rejected from all of my other schools and I'm feeling rather nervous... It seems like I should have heard back by now if I were accepted. I haven't made any contingency plans for the probable rejection, I assumed I'd get in somewhere. Anyone else in the same boat??? any advice? Find a year long job? Internship? But I'd like to do some interesting research or work instead of deck-scraping intern toil, what are my options? -VV
