Graduate School Admission Results

Received an official letter via e-mail - MEDA award

I was in the visit day at Feb 13. Anyone from the visit day heard back from NCSU ECE yet?

Had interview with PI in 1st week of January. Admitted to SSE track. Materials undergrad (from India) and masters (from US). 2nd author in publication in peer-reviewed journal.

Undergrad from TOP 5 IIT, 1 international paper. VLSI track!

The decision was hard to accept, since I know my profile is strong. I have appealed, quoting multiple recent achievements but that hardly helps. Fingers Crossed.

I am very sorry to inform you that we are unable to admit you into our graduate program for 2020. We have received many excellent applications from outstanding students such as yourself. Unfortunately, we have limited openings and the number of applications exceeds these openings quite significantly. Undoubtedly you have other opportunities to continue your education. We do wish you much success as you pursue your academic and research goals. With best wishes to you, sincerely, Professor Leslie A. Kolodziejski Graduate Officer Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science MIT LAK/kdm

TTPB, UIUC admit: which track and when did you have your interview?

accepted with departmental fellowship, no interview.

Excited!

To the post below, do you mind sharing the research track to which you've applied. Thanks and best wishes in your interview.

Now that the PhD results are out, does anyone know when to expect Masters acceptances/rejections? Last year the acceptances were sent out around Feb 22nd, but I havent seen anything about emails going out.

TTPB: Have 3 1st author SCI journals and 12 1st authors conference papers (1 flagship top conference in my field where people die to publish) Masters from top university (out side USA) last year. I know my field very well and had more than 60 video lectures in YouTube with millions of views. Yes I am verifiable, knowledgable, and proven researcher but it is MIT, where networking and nepotism are at its best. My recommenders gave me super strong letters but since MIT profs are crooked, do they actually value a strong recommender who they do not know? The answer is no- I think. But I have been accepted in another top school, so it does not matter. But unfortunately networking, and many Iranian and Chinese MIT POIs prefer to accept someone with degree from their own country's universities. Seriously? Racism is at its best in academia.

TTPB: The professor sent me an email said I would receive the offer in the future weeks. After 2 weeks I got the email said there is a significant decision in the uApply. The research field is model driven engineering.
