<p>Im majoring in Computer engineering also double with electrical engineering
Im gonna tranfer to one of universities below for fall 2008
Cal Poly, Pomona
UCI, UCSB, UCSC , UCR
SJSU
Which one should I go in order to get in to MIT?
And Please give me some advices about what I have to prepare now in order to get in to MIT after getting my BS.
Also, What is the requirement for MIT admission also?
How hard is that?</p>
<p>Wow, I don't know where to start... (fyi I am not an EE or CS.. I am just giving my opinion).</p>
<p>You should really try to find what motivates you first, and look for professors within your field of interest, do research, take hard classes that complement your research/motivation, do internships that relate to your research. THEN look for a masters program that matches your profile...</p>
<p>Then, where ever that is (UCB, MIT, Stanford, etc.) you will most likely get into the program.</p>
<p>you can get into MIT MS from ANY school if you're good enough.<br>
admission to MIT MS is not as popular as phD, you still need GRE and a high GPA, good research interest / background. But most importantly high GPA.</p>
<p>I've heard from former alumni that MIT's GPA cutoff is around a 3.8-3.85, so be sure to keep that pretty high.</p>
<p>not necessary a cut off gpa. You can still apply with 3.0 or above. For MS it's less popular (most just apply to phD). So you can still get in with a 3.5 or 3.6 with other decent stats.</p>
<p>Well MIT is the top engineering school in the country, just do your best.
High GPA, extra curricular,etc...</p>
<p>Extracurriculars? No. Replace that with research.</p>
<p>IMO, more than a 3.8 + gpa, as long as you are capable of significantly contributing with previous research and internship experiences that relate to what professors at MIT are researching... I'd say you'll be solid.</p>
<p>1) MIT has a department of electrical engineering and computer science. If you want to study something related to computer engineering, then you should apply to EECS.
2) MIT does not have a dedicated MS-only program. The way it works is that all students are admitted to the doctoral program and they earn the MS along the way. This has several ramifications. First, the number of students is not as big. Two, you start on your research in your first semester and you don't take as many classes.<br>
3) For the MS at MIT, you only need to take 4 classes but you need to finish a thesis. On the other hand, Stanford requires about ~10-12 classes for the MS (without a thesis)</p>
<p>Therefore, it depends what you want to do with your MS. If you simply want to go work in industry, then I think the MS only program at Stanford would be more your thing for several reasons. First, it is easier to get into. Second, you have to take more classes than at MIT. Finally, through the SCPD program, you can enroll in the MS program at Stanford while working whereas MIT does not offer distance learning. Another program to consider would be the M.Eng program at Cornell.</p>
<p>Other good MS programs include the USC EE program and the Georgia MSEE program.</p>
<p>Do they give financial aid of some kind? like teaching assistantship and others.</p>
<p>And StanEE when you mean Stanford is easier? How much easier is it?? Any data on the number of applicants applied and accepted in MIT and Stanford</p>
<p>MIT's EECS graduate program has 100 spots. They generally admit about 150-175 students, and in 2005 and 2006 (which are the only years for which I have numbers), 2500 students applied.</p>
<p>Ouch. I thought the EECS at MIT had more graduate students since it was so popular... I guess not.</p>
<p>Also a question for molliebatmit, are those numbers available somewhere on the web? Thank you.</p>
<p>my another question</p>
<p>Do you have to be EECS or EE or ECE will do?? </p>
<p>And the other question about stanford frm the above post plz...</p>
<p>The 2005 numbers are [url=<a href="http://www-tech.mit.edu/V125/N4/4gradapps.4n.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www-tech.mit.edu/V125/N4/4gradapps.4n.html]here[/url</a>] and the 2006 numbers are [url=<a href="http://www-tech.mit.edu/V126/N10/10gradapps.html%5Dhere%5B/url">http://www-tech.mit.edu/V126/N10/10gradapps.html]here[/url</a>].</p>
<ol>
<li>Learn to spell.</li>
<li><p>Use fewer exclamation marks.</p></li>
<li><p>See if you can get into UCI's honors program. It's quite brilliant. Would be your best bet.</p></li>

<p>100 new grad students per year is a pretty huge department. It's certainly the most grad students of any department at MIT.</p>
<p>Also, you don't apply in computer engineering. You apply to EECS and specify one of six areas that you plan to specialize in. MIT</a> EECS - Graduate Program Research Areas</p>
<p>You might be looking for Area III: Electronics, Computers and Systems.</p>
<p>Oppss. see the statistics. I have no chance at MIT. Plz give me some another good program at others so I can prepare and apply.need to be valuable and Ok to get. I prefer in California and the East Coast like Boston, NY, MA.</p>
<p>Jessiehl. Are u from MIT?</p>
<p>MIT EECS tends to prefer research assistantships over TAships but both are awarded. Generally, if you get in, you will get funded one way or the other. It is a different story at Stanford. The entering class is about ~250, of whom a large chunk is MS only w/o funding. The larger entering class, plus the distinction between MS admissions and MS/Ph.D admissions, makes it easier to get into Stanford for a MSEE than MIT.</p>
