Anyone heard anything from the CEE program at MIT?

As jan comes to an end, and most MS Admits start rolling out by now, i'm wondering if anyone has heard back from the following universities for masters in ECE:

1. Georgia Tech
2. TAMU (Computer engg)
3. UC San Diego (EC-79)
4. UW Seattle
5. UT Austin (ACES track)

They're great and all... I just want to be aware of if I need to send more emails (I don't want to annoy them), or rest assured the LOR deadline is later than February 3rd on the prof-side.

I'm asking mainly because I know some universities (like Cornell) tell students the application is due X and tell LOR writers it's due X + Y.

I am confused in between both the universities for my Masters. Please tell in comments which university has a higher rank and extensive research activity. Context: My major is Pharmaceutical science

^ title. got rejected from my dream phd project and i don’t know what to do from there. was kinda relying on getting admitted so i can stay in the UK (im intl). how do you cope with getting rejected from your dream school/project? i’m seriously at a loss and i can’t fathom anything at this point

Hi everyone,

My husband applying for PhD programs in History and he’s applying in Columbia, Cornell, and UConn. Has anyone heard back from these programs yet—either acceptances, rejections, or waitlists?

Thank you!

Anyone heard literally anything from the standalone CSE program at MIT? Do they hold interviews, when do decisions come out, when did they come out last year? Super stressed out...

When applying for graduate schools, I applied for schools that I liked, have my intended research area, and offer funding from my fellowship.

Yea I looked at the locations of all the schools, but now that decisions are being made it’s really dawning on me that I have to relocate for a bit. Some of these school are on the other side of the country 🤦🏽‍♀️ and traveling gives me so much anxiety but i’m ready for the new journey.

Anyone else planning on going to school far from home ?

Hi!

I just got rejected from another program (this time the one I believe most likely) and have started to realize that I won't get into any program.

My background is in economics + finance and have a masters in computer science. I used to work in fraud detection but changed my job to try to make it a better fit with the programs I was applying to.

I am very interested in network science and natural language processing. I also like data science modelling (not MLOps) and researching new solutions to solve a given problem.

How have you dealt with a final rejection and what did you do afterwards??

This is my third cycle and I had already promised myself that it would be the last one.

P.s.: The good news is that unlike the last time, I didn't get rejected on my birthday :)

I prepared with the normal questions ("Why a phd?" "Why with us?" "Whats your background?" "How will you contribute to the lab?"), but the interviewer threw in some curve balls and I'm worried I didn't answer them in the best way.

The interviewer is my prospective and top choice PI, and we have spoken verbally twice before with many emails between and even him advising me on my SOP and project proposal.

I hope I didn't fumble this ): and I'm not good at reading social cues, so idk how he could have interpreted my answers. Are there any glaring signs that I screwed up?

They said by February 1st. Trying to figure out if I'm ghosted. Thanks!

I was rejected from Northeastern and just had an interview with UNC Chapel Hill. What are my chances of admittance?

Hi all,

Heard that Stanford offers were always sent on the last Friday of January, and saw a waitlist and a rejection on GradCafe from yesterday and the day before, did anyone else receive an update from them? I'm sick to my stomach.

Hi! Does anyone have any guidance on how to prep for the MIT MBAn interview? Their description of quantitative concepts is quite vague— they mention linear algebra, stats, optimisation, differential equations, etc. I’m not sure how much depth I should get into with each topic.

Does anyone know what kinds of questions they ask?

Thanks!

Just got accepted to Northeastern's MS in Biomedical Sciences program, stoked!! Any reviews/inputs on the uni or the program?

It’s official! I’m overjoyed!

does anyone who has applied for cgu knows how to track the application status? au's website shows each status changes but cgu looks too confusing to me

after several rejections i came to accept that if i got a “status update” email without any prior communication then it was a rejection. well thats actually not the case! so i now know that if this occurs and the page does immediately have a little accept acceptance page then it is in fact a rejection

Seeing all the “I got into Berkely” and “I’m doing a PhD in AI!” posts here, I started feeling a little... regular lol.

But you know what? That’s okay! I got accepted into the University of Minnesota’s Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) program and I’m really excited about it! It’s been a long journey getting to this point and I’m so relieved and excited for this next step.

If anyone else is applying to MURP programs or wants to chat about the process, I’m happy to share :)

Good luck to everyone still waiting on decisions!

If I had an interview with UNC Chapel Hill for clinical psychology. What are my chances of acceptance?

Received a rejection for PhD yesterday, still waiting to hear from one more but accepting the loss for now. There’s one school I didn’t get to apply to this cycle, and I was wanting to apply when the next one comes around, potentially in addition to the schools I applied to this year.

Is it normal for professors to reuse their recommendation letters, or is it typical to ask them to rewrite them every cycle? For people not being accepted for up to five cycles, what are you doing recommender wise?

Thanks

My friend got rejected from Northeastern and got an interview for UNC Chapel Hill. Is he going to get in to Chapel Hill?

EE bachelor graduate here interested in AI / ML.

Basically I didn't have any intention for applying for Unis abroad until my 6th semester. So I was mostly working and spend less time studying for my Uni, so my grades were generally low.

But from my 7th semester, i decided that I want to apply for Unis in other countries for my Masters, so I started to study pretty hard and I was able to get Last Two Years GPA of 3.92 / 4 (which was pretty hard in my major and my Uni)

Also I was able to get research internships in my country and I joined a research group and we published a paper. And I still have plans to do more research and publish more papers (I hope I can publish a first author paper too).

Since I saw in general people with very high GPAs were able to get to my dream schools, this makes me feel kind of hopeless to continue and frustrated.

I want to see how much that's true and that's important in the admission?

I heard from many people that CV is like a package, if you don't have a very high GPA (which I could have it right now If I started this path earlier), you can compensate w/ other stuff and make the whole CV of yours have great weight.

but also heard that If profs see your CV has low GPA, they don't bother to look at the rest of it.

I don't know really. It's pretty confusion and sad to me. Sometimes I wish I studied from the begining so I wouldn't have these struggles right now. But past is past :)

what do you think?

Does anyone have any info on admission letters for Marquette's biological science program? Thanks

I’ve requested access to last year’s spreadsheet multiple times but haven’t received it yet. Do you kow I can fix this? -_-

Do any of you know when the committee meeting is, when the acceptance letters are traditionally available,etc? I saw a comment here that last year the committee meeting was taking place on the 30th, and I'm not sure what to make of the acceptance notifications on gradcafe that seem to be distributed over two different days for a single admission term. Any ideas?

As title said my BS cgpa was very bad (below 3) So I started doing MS and now I've much better CGPA(above 3.5) and both BS and MS are from tier 1 universities of a third world country (best universities in my country). Do you think my BS cgpa will effect my Admission in PhD in the US or canada? I'll apply for a Physics PhD program. And would you recommend me to attempt GRE?
