I appreciate your interest in attending graduate school at Syracuse University. After careful review and evaluation of your qualifications, I regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission to the Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ph.D. for Fall 2024 term. We received many outstanding applications, and the selection process was highly competitive. As such, please do not be disheartened by this decision, as it does not diminish the value of your accomplishments or potential. I encourage you to explore other opportunities and continue your pursuit of academic and professional growth. Indeed, many candidates who are not admitted are ultimately successful by finding another graduate program that is just the right the fit for them. Once again, I appreciate your interest in our Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ph.D., and wish you all the best in your future academic and career endeavors.

received tuition scholarship 30% of full-time tuition cost

I was looking for a chance to switch my career I really didn't have much credits in the area of study but I do have a bachelor's degree in CS from 10 years ago.

No interview so expected

Went to the virtual and in-person visits

Most likely I'll go to UCSD instead, but still quite happy about this result

Mailed the PI that I interviewed with and received the news

2 publications, 1 internship, current job role - ASE

Undergrad in GPA - 2.5/4 Masters GPA - 3.7/4 Both BS and MS were in Electrical Engineering 1 publication in NLP No GRE

4 pre-prints (2 in clinical NLP, one in DL and one in QML), 8 months of research experience, 1.5 years of TA experience, 3 months of industry experience, 1 very strong LOR from research supervisor and 1 very strong LOR from 400-level project faculty. Super excited to join!!

Will decline

No GRE, Design background

General CS program. Even with the offered scholarship, not sure of if I'd be able to go for it.
