  1. Well, I'd rather be clear than giving people false hope!
  2. Hi there, I am a straight independent male, who currently resides in Southern California. I am an oraganized, lovable, and very outgoing person, who loves running, travelling, instrumental musics, and dining out at nice restaurant. I will start my MS degree at Stanford in Autum 2011 with the major of Civil/Environmental Engineering. Besides engineering, I have utmost interest in business/management and would love to start my own company in my mid 30's. I created a group named Eng11 (pass: civ11) in the housing application. If you are interested in sharing a housing with me (preferrable 2 rooms/double occ. efficiency), you can provide those information in your application. I do not mind if many more people join in the group. Certainly, as staying in the group, we will increase our chance of getting the preferred housing. Please shoot me a message here if you are interested. Thank you!
  3. Wow! Congratulation! Given the fact that Stanford barely gives out full fellowship stipend alone for MS student (without CA/TA/RA appointment and restriction of <10 units/quarter), your offer is outstanding!
  4. @dirac: may i ask whether your fellowship is course assistantship or simply fellowship stipend?
  5. Hi all, I have some dilema in my decision making that needs your advises. I recently got accepted to both Berkeley and Stanford MS degree in the Structural Engineering programs. Luckily, i got almost full fellowship/funding for both. For Berkeley, it's block grant fellowship of $24k/yr. On the other hand, Stanford appoints me CA/TA with the stipend of $24k/yr in addition to the tuition aid of $9500/yr. Those two offers are pretty appealing; however, i am not quite sure which program will fit better with my interest and personality. I love to travel and am interested in pursuing an MBA later on in my career. Lately i just found out that a lot of business consulting companies such as McKinsey or Bain & Co hiring qualified engineers with competitive pay to work as Business Analyst. I really love the traditional engineering work; however, i think i would prefer dealing/coorperating with clients rather than sitting in the office and crunching in numbers. As my research goes, Berkeley arguably has the strongest structural program in the country. However, Stanford grads tend to get higher respected and better paid jobs??? How about the alumni networking? Anyone have any insight about this? How would you choose if you were in my seat? Any comments are welcomed. Thank you!
