What area are wanting to do research in? I am applying for e-mag stuff. Antennas, high frequency circuits,... I've got nothing else going for me so I do plan to go. I'm interested in signal processing research, in particular biomedical signal processing. On 2/2/2016 at 6:20 PM, nieran said: I heard from UCSD on Jan 22nd. The chair of the Graduate Admissions Committee sent an email nominating me for admission to the PhD program and inviting me to attend a recruitment weekend from Feb 25th-26th. Not an official admission yet though (and nothing updated on my online application) but it sounds promising. I'm sorry, I hate to be the one to tell you. Although I really don't know much at all about these admissions processes and would be surprised if they've already sent out all the admissions (or nominations) that they have to offer. Don't lose hope! And congratulations on ASU, that's great that they want you out there for a recruitment weekend. Best of luck to you. Thanks for the info. I knew I shouldn't have asked...haha Did you talk to any of the faculty before applying? What areas are you interested in? Honestly, my application was probably less strong than it could have been had I given it more time...and one my recommenders basically didn't do anything and screwed me over (one of the better recommendations I was hoping for). The website says they do offer a second round later, and I don't see a rejection so I guess it isn't a totally lost cause, though I won't get my hopes up.

No I did not contact anyone as it wasn't really my top choice school as I was sure I won't get in. I applied because my professors literally made me! Actually I did not contact any professors at any school before admission as I thought that it might indicate that I was not capable of getting in on my own... sounds bizarre but at that time it made sense to me and thank God it worked out for me. I am desperately waiting for Stanford. Goodluck to everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend in comp arch also received a decision, as did my other friend @Edotdl who's interested in more interdisciplinary neuro/bio-related EE research.

Ausfet Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Do you guys know if Stanford will be releasing admissions all this week? Or if they sent them all out earlier tonight? I still haven't heard anything unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats wonderful. I am in photonics/quantum optics. The admission letter said I was fully funded so I am not too worried about finding an advisor before I go in. I have a fellowship at UCB and also got contacted by two very well known people there but I guess MIT will beat Berkeley in my case.

I was so stuck on going to Stanford I really did not consider any other options. I met with my undergrad advisor today and asked him for recommendations and he recommended ~5 people. Do we have a deadline for that form submission? I look forward to seeing you there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not get a notification from Stanford either, but originally wanted to go MIT more than Stanford. So, I am good haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
