MS/PhD program. Received an email saying that “ a recommendation for admission as a degree student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has been forwarded to the Office of Graduate Admissions.”

DSP track admit. 1 semester of research, 1 semester of mentored project with professor. Other technical projects. No meaningful internships -- but one DSP internship pending for summer before grad school. Also admitted to CMU MS ECE a few weeks back.

Undergrad in US TOP10 in ECE, 1 sem TA in ASIC Design, 1 sem TA in Computer Arch, 2 Rec letters from ECE profs, 1 Rec from a CEO in industry, high major GPA. Directed to transfer my application to master in telecommunications instead of ENEE. Honestly surprised

Graduating from US T10 in ECE, 1 semester TA in ASIC Design, 1 semester TA in Computer Arch/Processor Design, 2 Rec from well-regarded ECE Profs and 1 Rec from a CEO in industry

MS ECE thesis in ICS track

Insane turn of events. Got rejected from UT Austin (ACSES track) by email on 4/7/2025 and was somehow just accepted to the ACSES program by email on 4/9/2025. Portal has changed from Denied to Admitted. 1 year research, but no publications or internships. 3 very strong LORs. GRE was not considered at UT so shouldn't matter.

Domestic, received my acceptance via email on April 8th 2025. Last year GPA 3.75.

International student, from Turkey, Bilkent University
