Electrical Engineering Fall 2020 PhD Admission Results Page

[ghcska]

I didn't see a thread for this year's electrical engineering applicants, so I figured I'd start one

Places where I applied: UC Berkeley EECS, Princeton EE, Cornell EE, MIT EECS, Yale EE, Stanford EE (all PhD)

Hopefully we can share when and what we hear back. I know apps were just due a little while ago, but I'm already stressing out haha

Good luck everyone!

Yay let's get this going.

You're aiming very high without any safer school, good luck bro.

For me I'm applying to UIUC, Boston U, UofToronto, UofWaterloo (MASc) and YorkU (MASc)

I haven't heard from anywhere either, sigh.

Haha yep I know. I'm pretty happy working where I am currently, so I only targeted my dream schools for this round of apps. Hope I get into at least one lol

Almost everywhere (at least where I applied) said they begin to review the applications in early January, so I don't think there's need for concern yet.

It's Jan and all schools should be back to business starting today, I just wonder have anyone heard anything yet?

[KHTee]

Seeing the time of results submitted last year, I suppose we'll hear something around Mid February.

Good luck!

Nope, I haven't heard anything yet

Someone on the Results page said they got an interview from MIT, but it's not clear what field they are in.

Even though I know that I probably won't hear anything back until February, I'm constantly checking my e-mail and gradcafe results.

The waiting is driving me crazy...

[ghcska]

Just got an invitation for a skype interview!

Does anyone know how far in advance to schedule interviews? I'd love to have the weekend to prepare and do it next week, but I'm not sure if that's waiting too long ?

From which school you got the invitation for interview?

It was Princeton.

Oh, that's pretty cool! Was it one of your POI?  Having applied to the same schools as yours except UC Berkeley and Cornell, I have given an interview to one of my POI at Yale so far.

Has anyone heard back from Stanford about interviews?

[ecemag]

I've applied to Purdue, UIUC, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State and Mizzou for a PhD focusing on electromagnetics. I only applied to Midwest schools for family reasons.

So far, I've gotten admission offers (no mention of funding yet) from Ohio State and Mizzou.

I've been invited to open-house type visits (with funding for travel and interviews with faculty) to Michigan, Wisconsin, and the ESL at Ohio State, but they all fall on the same dates. I made plans to visit Michigan before I was invited to the other two.

I've been contacted by individual professors from Purdue and Mizzou.

The only school I haven't heard back from yet is UIUC, which is ironic because it's my Alma Mater. I think it's still fairly early in the process though, so don't worry if you haven't heard anything yet.

Nope I emailed the Stanford EE admissions and they said an interview isn't required for admission. And it seems there are fewer reports of Stanford interviews on gradcafe compared to other years. So hopefully not getting an interview doesn't mean a total reject.

Congrats on your acceptances! That's awesome

Thanks! And good luck on your admissions! 

I'm in a similar situation as you. Working at a decent job. But I'm 10 years post-bachelors, so if I want to go back to school, now is the time before I forget everything.

Big congrats, I am also anxiously waiting to hear anything from UIUC

Has anyone heard anything from UC Berkeley? I see only 2 interviews for EE.

[=wWw=]

I received an interview invitation from Berkeley with one POI mentioned in my SOP last week. Anyone heard back from Cornell?

[theonlyone]

Hello Everyone! 

Here's my list. All Ph.D. in EE
MIT, Stanford, CalTech, Princeton, Michigan, UCLA, UCSB.

So far, I've had two Skype interviews from Princeton, one with the POI and the other with a different committee member. I was invited to the Michigan visit weekend next month, and I have a Skype interview next week with the POI from UCLA.

Extremely anxious about MIT, but glad to have found this thread. Good luck everyone! 

[kfpanda]

For those who have received Princeton interviews, is anyone of you in Security & Privacy?

[MIT2020]

Just got accepted to MIT EECS! Interviewed early January, and I totally thought I flunked it. 

[-RL]

Hello Everyone! 

Here's my list. All Ph.D. in EE
MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford, Michigan, and Georgia Tech are my main schools of interest.

So far, I have gotten accepted to MIT, UC Berkeley, and Georgia Tech. I was also invited to the Michigan visit weekend. Will update if I hear anything else from Stanford or Michigan.

Good luck everyone!

When did you get acceptance notifications/emails from MIT and UC Berkeley ?

[theonlyone]

UPDATE:

Accepted to Princeton! Offered the Presidents Fellowship.

The UMichigan Prospective student visit is next week, and I have another interview with the PoI from UCLA the following week. 

No word from MIT, Stanford, CalTech, UCSB. The consensus seems to be that no word from MIT at this point is effectively a rejection. Really sad about that.

Good luck everyone!
