<p>The real major difference is that you have heard back from both Berkeley and Stanford while I have heard nothing (no rejection or acceptance). Do you know whether both Stanford and Berkeley are done with admits or if they just have some sort of rolling admission basis? Also have you heard anything at all from Harvard DEAS?</p>
<p>I really don't have any inside information, but I assume Berkeley has contacted all first round admits since I heard back in December. I've heard of people getting rejected, so you may be on the wait-list there. Stanford only contacted me yesterday, so they may not have contacted everyone yet. </p>
<p>Harvard and MIT are the only schools I haven't heard a word from.</p>
<p>Yea I'm not sure whether to be worried about MIT or not. Everyone else has gotten back to me, with the exception of UCSB who managed to lose my recs.</p>
<p>Cornell - PhD - Accepted
UIUC - MS - Accepted
GATech - MS - Accepted
UT Austin - MS - Accepted
MIT - MS - Unknown
Stanford - MS - Unknown, though I heard someone got in.
*UCLA - PhD - Accepted
Berkeley - MS - Unknown, but also heard they started responding
UCSB - PhD - Unknown</p>
<p>Stanford told me they could accomodate an early visit, but I should contact the professors I'd like to meet to make sure it's ok with them. It seems you've already done that, so you should be set.</p>
<p>Yep, they seem pretty accommodating about this. I still wonder why they scheduled it for the same exact day, especially when Berkeley decided on people a while ago and probably had already gotten people to commit to visiting.</p>
<p>hey pazpark, i think i saw your admission responses on yuster or gradcafe :p</p>
<p>Haven't heard anything from any other schools since UCSD.
Apparently, USC has mailed out their CS master admission letters + rejections.
I have yet to receive either, interesting? :(</p>
<p>Hey phpguru, EE depts do fly out people. I know for sure that Cornell does. I think their visit weekend is around the end of March.</p>
<p>BTW, what do you think it means when a school asks for your language proficiency (which was missing) and says that they are considering you strongly? </p>
<p>GSme, that means it is pretty much sure that you are in, provided that you submit the evidence of your language proficiency. BTW, I am also an EE PhD applicant (Nanotechnology) and applied to MIT, Berkeley, Caltech, Stanford and Cornell. Still waiting.....</p>
<p>Agree with ashfaque_cantab. It seems as though they want to admit you but need to make sure you hit the minimum before they officially give you your decision.</p>
