To the person who got accepted into signals and systems from India NIT: did you get an official letter where you can accept or reject offer or did you get an email saying that you have been recommended for admission and sent for further approval to graduate division. Also, if you please don't mind: can you please share your stats. Your gpa and gre scores. Which other schools have been accepted to. Really appreciate if you can reply!! Thankyou!!

To the poster below: I applied during the second week of December

The poster below accepted to ECE in UCLA, when did you apply?

Had applied to the MS/PhD in Signals and Systems. Accepted into the Masters ECE program. PhD decisions later. Confirmed my hunch that they were processing files based on submission date (future applicants apply early!) . Profile: Final year undergrad from India (NIT), with significant research experience in signal processing.

The financial officer told me the decision will be made this week or early next week...

Was hoping for admit based on close research match and good research work experience

Application still under review... it seems like this is a common thing for the ECE program (them neglecting to update certain applications)

Admitted for Spring '19..

To the poster below, I contacted Professor Amit a couple weeks ago to inquire about my status, he told I was on the waitlist, but I have not heard anything official from UCR yet

No funding. Hope someone with funding declines their offer.

I see a lot of ECE Masters Admits/Rejects. I haven't received any information. Will there be more Admits/Rejects ??

To the poster asking why I'd choose Gatech over UCLA,well I'm struggling myself with the question! I'm very concerned about the quarter system in UCLA, as opposed to the semester system at Gatech, as I'm more used to the latter. I'm also very interested in the biomedical field, and that is said to be one of the best at Gatech. At the same time, the courses at UCLA for my track seem to be a better fit! Not to mention location and job opportunities. But I'm told that it really doesn't make too much of a difference after you graduate. But yeah, I think the Quarter system is what is holding me back. As for Michigan VS UCLA, I guess the most important thing is fit? I feel they are equally good in terms of rankings...it depends on funding and what kind of specialization you are looking for. If it's signals and systems, I'd recommend UCLA, but I think Michigan is really famous for embedded, in which case I'd suggest you go for that. In any case, there is no right choice, and I'm sure you'd be very successful no matter what you choose. Good luck!

Admitted to Spring 19

Rejected by VT for Spring semester. Reached out to professors to understand how the process works and how to better my application. I got a reply and went in to Blacksburg to meet them last year, then was given a challenge to complete. Was subsequently recommended for admission. 3 years working experience as Firmware Engineer for US-based MNC, strong recommendation letters. Always reach out to professors, and be genuine about it. I accepted the offer.

Was sent acceptance email from director of graduate studies. I have since turned down the offer due to my first choice coming through, albeit really late in the game. 3 years working experience as Firmware Engineer for US-based MNC, strong recommendation letters.

Applied to Ph.D., accepted for masters. Does anyone know about the cost? Is there any chance of managing RA?

Also applied to Phd but rejected and admitted to MS. Not taking any offer without full funding.
