I was so terrible during the interview that it would've been better skip it all together. Terrible.

Got an email from Duke ECE that they would like to send me to an ECE fair thing in February. I am coming in with my M. Eng already complete (GPA of 3.70, Undergrad at 3.82). My GRE scores are extremely low, however letter of recs are strong. No publications outside of my thesis. I will be interviewing with two professors, however not with the professor that I had previously emailed (although I will let them know of my situation).

To the duke ECE poster below, congrats! Have you interviewed or contacted with your POI? Or it is simply an offer from the committee.

Thrilled!
