HassE Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 rga, it seems like you also got accepted into Princeton as well? What other schools have you gotten accepted into? And what will be your final decesion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rga Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 yeah sure. I got accepted into columbia, harvard, stanford, and princeton for PhD in EE (i'm assuming i will get my masters first because I only have my BSEE). I am not sure yet where I will be going, I will be going to all of the visit days in order to see where I will fit in best. Good luck to everyone!

djperry Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 It was titled the same. Thanks for the response. I'll probably end up running into you at the Stanford visit day. Good luck with your decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is prob rare but did you get rejected from any school? And do you feel there was anything specific about your portfolio that all these schools liked or wanted?

rga Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Awesome set of schools you got accepted into. This is prob rare but did you get rejected from any school? And do you feel there was anything specific about your portfolio that all these schools liked or wanted? I got rejected from MIT so far...I think that while I did have a high GPA, I did not take an extraordinary amount of advanced classes or anything. I did research for a couple of years, but no publications, so I think it must have been letters of recs (which i think i had above average recs on all) and the personal statement essay? I think a lot of the times it comes down to whether or not your interests fit the profile of the research professors there. Good luck to everyone!

ftw Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Has anyone heard from UIUC regarding his/her admission? I saw someone mentioning that he got in, but that was a month back since he did his undergrad at UIUC. Anyone else with any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliomh Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well, well.. 3 decisions, 3 rejections so far... I applied to 3 top schools which I knew I had little chance (mit, stanford, berkeley) and 2 more reasonable choices (washington, utah). I think I will only have my 'safety', and I'm not 100% sure... Right now, I don't know what to do. Is there any university with the admission window still open for international students? My background: Graduated top of my class (1/432) on a top Spanish university. GPA: 3.85 GRE: 157/162/3.5 TOEFL: 102 No research experience, but co-author in 3 papers. Funding given by a Spanish institution for 2 years. Applying for MS+PhD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 well, couldnt quite understand what "3 co-authors with ''no'' research experience" means !!! If you have contributed or had even so much as a sniff at research, you should cash that in sop/resume....well yes you could apply to Texas A&M University (couldnt think of any other school atm but the best way would be to start with US world and news ranking list, spend a few hours crossing out those with admission window still open, narrowing down your choices, emailing POIs indicating that you come *funded*, they could facilitate your entry)... Since you already have two years funding, that is a big big big plus if you know where/how to advertise it...even if you get into masters, you could definitely switch to Phd later (considering your record).... hope that helps good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awvvu Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 (edited) I think UMich is still deciding. I've been phone interviewed by a professor last week and he said they'll let me know sometime this week or something.

johankid15 Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Hey guys, Im new to this and wanted to share my news. I applied to MIT, Harvard, Stanford, RPI, CalTech and Tufts University for PhD in EE. I got accepted to Stanford's MS in EE program. As I have not heard back from them regarding financial aid award letters, those of you that did get in - did you guys get anything yet on your AXES webpage regarding award letters? Thanks in advance!

shossain Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 any news from UMich? I heard from them yesterday, I got rejected from the Ph.D. program but offered admission in the M.S. program with no funding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snkenyon Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I heard from them yesterday, I got rejected from the Ph.D. program but offered admission in the M.S. program with no funding. Same here. I have a visit to Michigan State this weekend, based on how that goes, I'm going to make my decision. I read you can transition from master's to Ph.D. at UMich, but it's still incredibly selective.

awvvu Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The professor who invited me to visit said he would accept me, but I haven't gotten anything officially from UCLA yet. It might be tied with the funding package which he wasn't sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
