Sorry for UCI!

Email Content: Your application for admission to graduate study in Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Irvine has been given serious consideration by the admissions committee. We must regretfully notify you that your application to our graduate program for Fall 2013 has been denied. In view of the large number of well-qualified applicants and the limited number of spaces available, the admissions committee must be selective in making its recommendations. The selection process is one of identifying those applicants who are best qualified for a specific graduate program, based upon a review of each applicant's file and number of openings in the research programs in that field. Your academic preparation and scholarship, letters of recommendation, expressed interests and objectives, and other supporting materials in your file have all been taken into consideration during the committee's review process. Although we are unable to act favorably upon your application, we appreciate your interest in our graduate program.

No funding =[...will be hard to consider this although UCI is a top choice.

Got an admit w/o funding. Haven't accepted may turn this own down.

an MSc in TU Delft with average GPA (but the best in my year), 2 conference, 1 acknowledgement in top journal (nature). Depressing. I think getting into this program will be easy. Now I only have two tougher options left.

Abysmal gpa. Oh well.

No Taka

Should you decide to accept this offer, please email your acceptance to [email protected] within two weeks of receiving this notice. If we do not hear from you by then, we will assume that you will be unable to attend in Fall 2013. Why 2 weeks?

Without funding :( 2 weeks to decide!

No funding:( Has anyone accepted their offer? I saw 6-7 cases like mine here. Why do we only have two weeks???

FYI posters, as PhD admits w/o funding, you will need to contact and meet professors to discuss possible funding options. This is common here unlike other unis.
