*HELP* Admission Decision

Graduate School
1

<p>hello guys, i have 3 questions to ask about admission decision.
i’m an international student applying for EE master to some grad schools in US.</p>

<p>from Biology/Biomedical Sciences Applicants 2008 thread, i see that many ppl have already received invitation for interviews.</p>

<li><p>i am wondering why they got their invitation so early. is it because of the early submission of the application? or is it because of they applied to phd program?</p></li>
<li><p>do masters applicants receive invitation for interview too?</p></li>
<li><p>i always submitted my application on the last minute (like 2-3 days before the deadline). does that hurt my chances of being admitted? i already got notifications (in late Dec - early Jan) from all the schools i’m applying that my application is “Complete” though…</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>(1) Each field sends out acceptances (or interview invitations) at a different time. I used applycorner.com to search for last year's EE applicants and it looks like, as a Master's applicant, you will hear in late February through mid-March if you are accepted.</p>

<p>(2) In EE, I do not think that master's applicants are generally interviewed. This is probably part of why you will wait longer for a decision.</p>

<p>(3) Probably not. Unless your schools have "rolling admissions" (as med schools and law schools do), you wouldn't have gotten a real advantage by submitting early.</p>
