I had an interview in January and received my acceptance letter a month later.

Accepted without funding initially but received interviews later

1 Year of Internships in RF engineering and 1.5 Years work experience in RF design. No pubs. Two undergrad research topics

Professor emailed on 2/5. Had an interview the day after.

Had an interview with a Professor mentioned in my SOP.

Admitted without interview. Track: Communication Theory and Systems

Had an interview with a PI mentioned in my SoP.

Electronics, Photonics and Quantum Systems Track.

2 years of research experience, 1 publication, 2 conferences, 1 summer REU. No interview.

Honestly more on me for thinking i could get in, $90 would've been better spent on hookers and cocaine.

I'm kind of surprised.
