r_jayakanth Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I had applied to Stanford Materials but haven't heard from them. I am an international applicant. Wondering if any international/domestic student has heard from them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othello Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm a domestic student and got into Stanford's MSE program on February 13th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agm Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm also domestic. I was accepted (but waitlisted for financial aid) Feb 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_jayakanth Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 congrats guys! I don't know if this means reject for me. Atleast I got an admit from MIT.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agm Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Ah, MIT is the only place I haven't heard from. I didn't apply for any outside funding that could be used there, though, which I have the impression they strongly prefer. I got into a lot more places than I expected -- definitely more than I can visit -- but at this point I'm deciding among Penn State, Northwestern, and Georgia Tech. Is Stanford your top choice?

Othello Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I haven't heard from MIT yet, but I'd choose California over Massachusetts any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_jayakanth Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 so r u goin to stanford? or r u waiting for any other school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agm Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I feel kind of silly letting geography/weather be a large factor in my decision, but I got into enough places that apparently I can. And I do get depressed when it's grey and cold all the time, so... goodbye Cornell and RPI? I'm not too upset about MIT -- everyone I mention it to tells me it's a pressure cooker, that it has a high suicide rate, etc etc. Of course I don't know how true that is of the department, but I'm wary of the potential stress...

Othello Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Right now, I'm 90% sure I'll be choosing either Berkeley, Stanford or Caltech. I just came back from a visit to Caltech and liked it a lot. Next month I'll be visiting Berkeley and Stanford. I am so sick of being cold and driving/walking through snow and ice. I'd like to see some palm trees... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
