Stanford University

[starglow]

Hey! Anyone joining Stanford for Master's in Fall 2012? I am, and I'd like to know who else is!

I've gotten an admit for the Master's program in Electrical Engineering (Networking).

[kate25]

I'll be attending the PhD program in Statistics.

[starglow]

Hey Kate, nice to meet you. I heard that the dates for grad student open house at Stanford are on March 8th and 9th (not sure of this, though). Won't be able to make it since I'm in India.

It would be nice to discuss plans. I haven't started looking for accommodation yet, will have to start soon.

[tjc]

I'll be attending MS in EE(Information Systems)..

[adirao90]

I will (or rather should) be attending the Masters program in MechE.

[starglow]

Hey tjc and adirao90, nice to meet you. I'm from Chennai.

[adirao90]

Hey starglow, good to meet you. I am from Bangalore, but I am actually doing my undergrad in Chennai!.

[starglow]

Okay, nice! Are you taking up Stanford?

[adirao90]

Yeah, will be accepting the offer. What about you?

[starglow]

Yes, me too. :-)

[adirao90]

So, where do you study?

And where are the other Stanford admits?!

[starglow]

I'm in SRM University, ECE final year.

How about you?

And yeah, where is everyone else? :S

[adirao90]

I study at IIITD&M (but stay at IITM). ME (Design & Manufacturing)

You know anybody heading there?

[Slorg]

PhD in Applied Physics here.

[starglow]

Nice, and no I don't really know a lot of people heading there. I do know that a friend of a friend from Anna University got in, guess he's taking it up. I don't know anyone directly. :-(

And nice to meet you, Slorg!

Hi!

I got into the MS Sustainainable Design & Construction program at the department of Civil & Environvironmental Engg. I'm from cochin, but I study in SASTRA university, Thanjavur. Nice to meet you

Did any of you get funding details? I've been told that they'll let me know in the week of March 19th, after the visitation day on 16th.

I'm still waiting for the Berkeley decision to finalize though.

[johankid15]

Hey guys,

I got accepted to its MS in EE program. Still waiting on funding...

[starglow]

Hi Poovath and johankid, nice to meet you guys! No details on funding (actually, I did not ask for funding). I plan to apply for a TA/RAship after the first quarter.

[Blahsan]

Hi, did anyone receive anything document by mail after the offer email? I accepted the mscs program by the way.

[kate25]

Yes, I got an official offer letter from the stats department. But I imagine it might be different for various departments.

[Poovath]

Did anyone attend visitation day. Please share your experience.

Any idea about Financial Aid for fall 12?

[UnlikelyGrad]

Just FYI for the folks from India:

On El Camino Real, on the border between Sunnyvale and Santa Clara (a few miles east of Stanford) is an area called "Little India". Lots of Indian groceries and restaurants. You can take the bus (route 22 or 522) if you don't have a car. Have fun!

[syn2012]

Hello all! I'll be starting my PhD program in chemistry at Stanford this fall.

[Astarabadi]

wow, lot of "desis" here.,,

any idea about graduate housing? I know there's apts avail. at Escondido Village, but how much are they and is it feasible to rent them with the av. stipend is the question.

I'm going to be in the Humanities, btw.

enjoy the weather there!
