<p>Did anyone here apply to this program? PhD applications were due in December, and MS applications were due on the 5th.</p>

<p>This is a very, very big department with lots of flexibility in terms of courses offered and degree specializations.</p>

<p>These are the MS admission stats I've gathered from the department website (previous years' data were retrieved from archive.org)</p>

(Green = Most favourable; Red = Least favourable)</p>

<p>Ironically, for such a large entering class (~280 MS students or so each year), I've found very little information on the web from third-party sources.</p>

<p>It’s actually fairly easy to get into the MS program - if you do well on the math section of the GRE and have a decent undergrad GPA (3.6+), you have a very good shot of getting in.</p>

<p>The PhD program’s completely different - much much more difficult to get into, much more respected.</p>

<p>I guess it’s not as competitive as the other “engineering” grad programs (especially EE/CS), but I’d imagine that the applicant pool is more or less self-selected because the averages are published.</p>

<p>Anyway, I turned in my application materials a few weeks ago, and I’ll see what happens. Thanks.</p>
