- Notes
- TTPB: I'm from a non-USA university that offers a top-30 level MechE program (with BioE double major). Not good MechE major GPA (with one semester under 2.7), Quite good research records for an undergrad(one co-first authored paper at a top robotics conference, and 4 publications on international journals (but it's more about BioE)), Excellent LORs from undergrad research advisor and internship advisors. Never expected the offer because UIUC seemed to have a very traditional MechE research profile, while I fiddled a lot between MechE and BioE. Considering other people received offers a week early, seems I was kind of an edge case in the committee. 2A(Michigan Robotics MS :/)/7R/2P(unofficial waitlist), will probably take this offer.
