MS from Pakistan GPA 3.70

So, if I take a risk and go there willing to survive on my own expenses for one or two semesters, what are the chances that I will send up without any prof ready to supervise me. Do you know if there are any such instances in the past?

Did anyone who got admission in tamu PhD receive funding information? I got an offer and those guys are not responding properly to my mails. Please reply. If you know something about PhD program in tamu

Are they done sending out admits / rejects. I am still waiting. Is it pointless?

To the TAMU reject below.Can you please post your scores and profile as well.Thanks.

To the rejection from TAMU below, When did you submit your application ?

After carefully considering your application file, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission at this time. The departmental evaluation of your application indicates that your overall profile is not competitive with other applicants. Grr....Its a string of rejects this time for me.....

They are answering calls and very encouragingly as such. Said to wait till April end there will be definitive news. Said there are 2.5k applicants out of which they are gonna shortlist 500 (ECE itself) As far as my research goes they havent sent out many admits yet. Lets remain hopeful people. Atleast we werent in the primary rejects, we are still being considered.

Applied in Feb, got M.Eng admit

Got admit from UIUC, Cornell, Tamu and CMU. Was waiting for Tamu and now feel worth it. Shall take up Tamu for sure. Rejecting the others after a considered opinion.

To the TAMU poster below. I emailed them and they replied that they anticipate all the decisions by this month end.

To the person with TAMU, Cornell and Columbia Master admission: many PhD admits at TAMU have not received any funding information up to now. I would personally suggest you to take the admit of school that guarantees you funding.

No word on funding,already have admits from columbia and cornell! Good GRE and GPA,1 publication,2 years relevant work experience in a UK based engineering corporate,strong SOP and LORs. Had no prior interview. From TKM(University of Kerala,India)

Very happy to have received this admit!!! Electrical department (My case DSP) is very good(Top 10)..and i can finish masters without loan :)
