<p>Heard from UCLA this week</p>
<p>Has anyone heard from Berkeley, Caltech, Stanford, or MIT this week?</p>
<p>stanford mse sent out lots of rejects the other day.</p>
<p>Accepted to the University of Texas at Austin for MS Mechanical Engineering</p>
<p>I heard from Berkeley 6 days after the application deadline. Unfortunately, I have not heard from Stanford, MIT, or Caltech yet.</p>
<p>Ugh. Just got rejected from Berkeley this morning by snail mail. I really hate how they couldn't have just e-mailed me. Instead they send me a dinky little envelope that weighs more than the folded letter of rejection inside. Yet you still have to open it and check to make sure. Then you read the first three words "We are sorry..." and throw it away.</p>
<p>Good luck to the rest of you that applied to Berkeley!</p>
<p>I actually got a thin envelope that contained an acceptance to JHU. So I would still read it, if I were you.</p>
<p>Have you guys heard anything official from Duke Biomedical Engineering?</p>
<p>Accepted to Penn state MS IE/OR</p>
<p>Got my acceptance from Georgia-Tech today. Now, I have four (Illinois, Purdue, Ga-Tech and Colorado). Colorado is out of the picture. Can't decide between the other three. I am leaning much towards Illinois or Ga-Tech. I will visit them in March. What would you guys do, if you were me? By the way I don't have a clear cut idea of what I want to do my research on. Need help in deciding between the schools. Thanks.</p>
<p>Wait until after you've visited to decide. I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do research on before I did my visits, either, but after talking with a bunch of professors I was able to hone in more on what I want to do. Also, you might find there's a professor or two at a certain school or some other factor that you hadn't yet predicted that makes a school the obvious choice for you. In my case, I really wanted to go to Cornell since I loved Ithaca, they paid great, it's within a few hours of home, and a number of other things, but after talking with professors I just couldn't find anyone I wanted to work for. Here at Caltech I met a professor whose research lines up very closely with what I like, and my personality meshed perfectly with his and the rest of the group's. So, even though I'm not a huge fan of Pasadena or living out on the West Coast, the decision was still easy (though not what I would have predicted at the outset of applications).</p>
<p>Well I hope if cornell is the only choice I end up with that I find someone doing something I want . Otherwise I may not go to grad school</p>
<p>Santosh, Georgia Tech is an excellent place for biomedical/bioengineering. They have a big department, they are ranked great, just after JHU, which is first. Before Stanford, Berkeley, UPenn, MIT, Columbia...</p>
<p>I would go there in a heart beat, if I had these three choices. Good luck!</p>
<p>Still, anyone heard anything from Duke Biomedical eng?</p>
<p>Rejected from Stanford this morning.</p>
<p>MIT and caltech left, but I'm sure I'll be rejected at this point.</p>
<p>Nrets</p>
<p>I am right with you, rejection from Stanford. Not thinking anything about MIT either. I will start taking a few visits and looking at other schools.</p>
<p>I got rejected from Stanford this morning too- nice email to start my work day.
Got into Berkeley EARLY (dec 18) and PRinceton. Waiting on CalTech and MIT, expecting to get rejected. Hey, at least Berkeley was tied w/MIT as my top pick.</p>
<p>Damsky-</p>
<p>Yea it's getting kind of depressing atvthis point. I went to a career fair today in case I don't like cornell and don't get into either of the techs.</p>
<p>Oochem-</p>
<p>I like how the email was written in a way that forced you to read two paragraphs before determining your fate. Bastards.</p>
<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Has anyone heard from MIT materials science, for PhD or Masters? I applied just to UMichigan and MIT and got accepted to UMichigan 2 weeks ago, but still nothing from MIT.</p>
<p>Dayadhvam,
as of last week when I was at a mse open house for another school, an mit student told me that they haven't sent letters yet. good luck!</p>
<p>Anyone heard back from UCSD or UCLA EE program?</p>
