Questions 1. At what time did you get the decision? 2. Did you apply for MS/Ph.D ? or terminal MS? (you got admission for MS right?) Thanks!

Ugrad Institution: One of the top 10 schools in US News Ranking Major : ECE GPA : 3.95/4.00 / Major : 4.00/4.00 Length of degree : 2.5 yrs Ugrad Research : ~ 1 full yr about computer architecture. GRE : 730/800/4.0 Coursework : Total of 15 ECE courses including two-three grad level courses about comp.architecture (some of the courses may not be finished at the time of application) Intended Major : Comp.architecture Ph.D I know that it is very hard to get admissions from top schools without a publication. Though I am currently working on my research, I am not sure if it will be published on time (before the application submission). I have some other internship experiences (around 3 months); however, I am not sure if it will help. Let me know if there is a case for top grad school admission w/o publication. I am currently thinking of applying to MIT/Stanford/UCB/CMU/Princeton/Harvard. If I end up not getting an admission, I would reapply after getting a M.S degree from my current school.
