Graduate School Admission Results

I don't have a high GPA (4.13/5) and my background is more entomology/bioinformatics related. However, I have a strong motivation letter, two good recommendation letters, experience as research assistant during my undergrad and an internship. I'll need to take the course "Mathematics III: Systems Analysis". Good luck to everyone

I was worried because I don't have high GPA, so I had big pressure to write a good motivation letter. Personal opinion: It's very important to fulfill the required bachelor courses. Good luck to everyone!

Apparently I am not qualified for their program. In their requirements, they mention a degree in physics or electrical engineering. Whereas I have done Engineering Physics from one of the old IITs in India, and I have had experience in both physics and electrical courses through my curriculum! Why don't they clearly mention the requirements so we can save money on the application fee?! Instead of just mentioning a one liner requirement. Totally aghast after such a long wait
