I know that Rutgers hasnt started evaluating yet... so that will take time...

I had seen a coupla RPI admits long back in some forum

[Guest]

I called MIT EECS this morning, and they said they have not made a decision on me yet... I don't know if this means I have made some kind of initial cuts and am in the "not a definite admit, but not a definite reject" pile, or if they have just not looked at my app yet.... I am soooooo tired of waiting. Any input?

[Guest mishum2000]

CR congratz for your admission at MIT. Can you please share us your profile ?

Just got an acceptance to MIT today. Very very excited. Got an invite to the open house at Boston University last week, though it didn't officially say accepted anywhere it did say they were preparing an aid package. Looks like two trips to Boston in March.

I talked to a Peggy Carney woman and she said no action had been taken on my application.I guess we are in the same boat.Good Luck!

Hi waqasm,

Are you saying you got admitted by Stanford? Please share more infor with us.

Thanks

[waqasm]

aaa yes i was offered a place and was nominated by the EE department for the stanford graduate fellowship.. awaiting the decision for that. Otherwise i was guranteed departmental financial assistance.

Area of research, free space optical comms.

[g_dxy]

waqasm,

Thanks! Can you share your profile with us?

I'm geting very nervous since it's almost March... Have you heard anyone else getting admitted? Do you know if I don't hear it by now that means it's a bad sign? Is there any extra info ? Please share with us.

I heard some rumor that stanford only gives master option when giving out admissions, but it certainly is not true because you got in the phd program.

Thanks a lot!

My profile:

B.Eng. Electronics Engineering- 87% University of Hull, Uk

Ranked 1/45.

GRE, Quant 800/800, Verbal 630/800 and 5.0 for Analytical

Final year research project on comparison of numerical simulation techniques (TLM and LISA).

Work experiance: very little..just IT Assistant at the University of Hull Computing Services.

Stanford is still writing to people so dont worry. The 2nd round recommendations go up to early April even. I do not know anyone else who got accepted.

BTW i have received rejections from Berkeley and Princeton on 23/24th. I wonder why hmm but still awaiting MIT.. anyone? any news

P.S. Just heard from Stanford again. Iv been offered a Stanford Graduate Fellowship, covering first three years!

[Guest uncle_ezra]

Anyone heard from Columbia EE admission?

[Guest]

My friend heard from Columbia last week. He got accepted for an MS

[Guest uncle_ezra]

Did he apply for PhD? or just MS?

Thanks

[waqasm]

he applied for an MS only.

[Guest Samantha]

Isn't it pretty standard to be notified by 3/15? It's 3/13 and I haven't gotten a decision from Caltech, RPI, or Rutgers.

Called RPI and they said they were still reviewing EEs. Someone earlier in this thread said Rutgers had not started and is gonna take a while. And Caltech... who knows? I only see one "unofficial" EE PhD admit for them in the "results" section.

I don't want this dragged out any longer!

[vlsiguy]

I still have not heard from Caltech either.....or UIUC! Not sure what is going on.

[Guest]

Got a letter of acceptance from UIUC on Friday 3/10. Was postmarked 3/3/06. They are having a recruitment weekend 3/30-3/31.

[Guest Samantha]

vlsiguy, have you heard from Caltech yet? I called the EE department secretary today and she told me that some research groups are admitting NO ONE this year. She then gave me the name of the professor that was reviewing my application and said that I should email him and ask if he's admitting anyone. I emailed the guy earlier today and haven't gotten a response yet.

If it turns out that he says they aren't admitting anyone to his group, I'm going to be livid. It's freaking March 16! If they were going to not admit anyone, why didnt they TELL ANY OF THE APPLICANTS YET?!

Holy shit, that pisses me off.

I have not heard anything either... ridiculous. I will call tomorrow and see what the hell is going on with my app.

I dont understand why they can;t update us with any info. Like if i have already been denied, send me something at least...or like you said, if groups aren't admitting anyone, at least let us know.

And I am still not sure what is going on with MIT or UIUC. I have got some decent admits already, but I wish these other schools could at least tell me something about what's going on... It is so late already.

[Guest eehopeful]

I applied to Caltech also, and I think Caltech professors usually contact the applicant directly long before the official decisions are made. I hate to say this, but it doesn't look very promising if we haven't heard from them by now...
