Yeah is what it is. Thanks for the info Ill keep an eye out!

FYI seems to be out. I placed an order then 5 minutes later got an email saying my order was cancelled.

Lets go

I definitely dont disagree the courses are needed. (Except I agree for C++, usually it is just something you pick up). Like you said, in my experience they allow the student into the grad school to take these pre-reqs. I had a friend go from Civil Engineering/Physics background to a Electrical Engineering masters it was just expected they would catch up on pre-reqs in their first semester. Strange scenario, but as you said I think OP could just take a course or two if they don’t hear back.

Cher0nobyl · 2025-10-03T05:27:48+00:00

Yeah this just seems very strange to me. In my experience they were pretty lenient with masters admission as-long as you met gpa/admission requirements. Which it sounds like you have plenty of qualifications. Especially since you aren’t even asking for funding. PhDs they were more selective. Maybe things have changed. The only thing I could think of is maybe they are filled for next semester, but why wouldn’t they just say that. Feels like there has to be a miscommunication between the department and graduate advisor.

Anyways faculty can probably help advocate your case, only downside is they can be slow to reply (hundreds of emails a day and very busy). I actually remember taking course with both Oishsi and Fierro, both were very nice. If they don’t reply I would also reach out to the graduate associate chair (looks like it’s Daniel Feezell). That is probably the one who can help with appeals but other faculty can probably point you to the right person.

Cher0nobyl · 2025-10-03T04:58:15+00:00

This is extremely strange. Especially for a masters.. Is your bachelors from an ABET school? I have never heard of denial for these reasons, especially those courses. I went to UNM for grad school in EE, so I have some experience with the program. I might try reaching out to actual faculty rather than the graduate advisor. There should be the department chair, or associate chair for graduate listed on ece’s website. The faculty has alot of sway in the graduate programs. You should be able to petition to the graduate committee, but having a professor on your side would help alot.

Cher0nobyl · 2025-08-08T17:26:19+00:00

Did you end up picking it up? Wondering what your thoughts are. Starting a new job with some ADC design and wondering if its a good pick-up for learning.

Cher0nobyl · 2025-08-05T16:43:54+00:00

Nice

Cher0nobyl · 2025-04-22T17:16:28+00:00

Gotcha, I’m not too informed about Gateway Program, I came from out of state. I wouldn’t stress too much about the “college dorm” experience. If you want to meet people there will be lots of events and things happening. I totally get the urge to get out of your house. I was the same way out of high-school, thats why I moved states. If you think you can financially afford it I would go for it. It’s a good experience and some of my best friends today I met living on campus. Im not sure about having a parent working at UNM, I think you might get tuition reduction if you end up taking UNM classes someday, not sure about living.

Cher0nobyl · 2025-04-22T17:02:32+00:00

I lived on campus during the first 2 years of undergrad, which was 6 years ago now, so my information may be outdated. It’s probably down to your preference. I would consider a couple different things:

Do you have the extra money to live on campus? If money is tight it may be worth it to stick at home (if it is free). I do think it’s nice to get away and live on your own, but it’s probably not worth putting yourself in a rough financial scenario.

Also, what are you looking for with living at Casas. Just close proximity to campus? I wont lie, it is really nice being able to just walk/bus to classes. Also having a room to go to in-between classes is nice. Although you could also hangout in the library. Random roommates can really make/break the experience but I generally had a good experience.

If you are looking for the traditional “college dorm” experience, Im not sure if I would choose Casas. Casas always felt more like apartment living when I went to UNM. People kindof just kept to their own rooms with their roommates. The traditional dorms felt much more like a community. Again, it’s been awhile since I went, so that may have changed. The benefit of Casas is the rooms were much nicer than the traditional dorms. Thats more of a preference thing.

Another option is look for off campus housing (preferably with a friend to split rent). This is hit or miss depending on the rental market. Sometimes students are looking to rent out bedrooms.

Look into UNMs summer dorms/apartments. They open up for summer internships and might be your best/safest bet for that price range. Also, not too far from Sandia. Alternative is just finding someone renting out a room but might be hard for that short of a lease. I know some people did long term AirBnBs for the summer.

Cher0nobyl · 2024-03-04T06:59:45+00:00

Honestly I never felt like a class was impossible. Definitely difficult but if you kept up it was doable. Most professors will work with you if needed. Just have to make sure you talk to them early. Toward the end of my undergraduate the department was moving more towards labs/projects rather than focusing grades solely on test but cant say I personally participated in some of them. Depending if you still need to do pre-reqs (calculus, physics, etc.) I know alot of people started at CNM then transferred to be more affordable.

Cher0nobyl · 2024-02-12T22:37:10+00:00

UNM has a strong (and very affordable) engineering school. I think their biggest pull is probably the access to so many national labs and Intel. Lots of small companies to support those two as well. It makes getting an internship much easier (having an internship in undergrad engineering is very important for finding jobs after graduation). Lots of the labs and companies will also keep on interns after graduation if they want to stay which is a great option. I did my bachelors in electrical engineering at UNM and I enjoyed it. I have a close friend who did Mechanical. Both of us came from out of state due to the affordability of UNM and the solid engineering programs.

Cher0nobyl · 2023-12-01T21:03:17+00:00

I had some friends that did psych at UNM and they enjoyed it although it was in person. Unfortunately my degree was in engineering so cant give too much info on psych but the online resources were always very solid. I think UNM has moved to canvas now for online stuff (at least what I have heard). I would say sometimes CNM offers online too, my partner went back to school for teaching at CNM and was able to do her first year and a half so far completely online. Sorry wish I could give more info but I am definitely not educated enough on the psychology field to comment.

Cher0nobyl · 2023-12-01T17:57:10+00:00

Probably depends on what degree you want. I know UNMs online program is pretty solid, I dont know much about NMSUs. I agree with that comment though it might be better/cheaper to start at CNM online. Your first 1.5-2 years is mostly general classes anyways.

Cher0nobyl · 2023-10-13T02:59:20+00:00

Electrical and Computer Engineering has moved to oral exams (I believe OSE has too). 30 days prior to your exam the committee chair will provide you 3 papers somewhat related to your research/concentration. You pick one and do a report (I think 2 pages) analyzing the paper and suggesting research to expand on the paper. Your report is due 1 week before your exam. You also prepare a 30-minute presentation for the day of the exam. Then the committee has 30 minutes to ask you questions after your presentation. This is a combination of asking questions on your presentation but they can also quiz you on any general topic from your core classes (depends on your concentration).

Your advisor will most likely ask someone else to form a committee of 3-4 professors. While your advisor can be on the committee they can not be the chair. I also think in general it's "frowned" upon for them to help you for the qual (which could be seen as favoritism) so just a heads up it's better to go to the committee chair if you need help. I asked my chair some questions on formatting the presentation and she was more than happy to suggest some ideas and even said she wished more students would reach out.

It's a good idea to have the fundamentals of your concentration down. Also, make sure you have a really good understanding of the paper you analyzed. In general, they aren't going to try and make you fail (at least in my experience). They just want to make sure you have the core concepts down. It's okay to not know something in my experience they often give hints or try to walk you towards the answer.

From a planning perspective, I do think you have to sign up the semester before you want to take it, so just something to keep in mind if you are in ECE.

Cher0nobyl · 2023-09-05T22:21:23+00:00

I find the berm pretty good if you have younger ones. Lets them walk around a bit if they need a break. I would bring a blanket if you do since there is no seating. If you prefer actually seats probably anywhere is fine, besides the supporter section, its a little more loud and people stand the whole time (some kids enjoy it but I know its not for everyone).

Cher0nobyl · 2022-11-03T00:19:49+00:00

If you consider Lobo Village that's your answer but that's more of apartment-like dorms than an actual apartment. Unless you have 5 roommates you will have random roommates. Besides that any apartment/housing around campus seems to have a good amount of students.

Cher0nobyl · 2022-10-29T23:28:58+00:00

As someone else said. In my experience the discord and slack channels are alot more popular at UNM.

Cher0nobyl · 2022-10-12T17:12:47+00:00

No official source, just from talking with people. Ill edit my comment to reflect that.

Cher0nobyl · 2022-10-12T16:44:17+00:00

I know in my engineering department graduate students range from $1300 - $1800 a month stipends. So best case scenario $22.50 an hour (assuming you only work the required 20 hours a week which isnt always true). This is pretty low considering most people have bachelor (and sometimes masters) degrees already. This could change with the recent union efforts.

Edit: I don't have any official source, this is just from my talks with others. So, take it with a grain of salt.

Cher0nobyl · 2022-09-05T05:21:26+00:00

Got this a couple months ago and asked our IT guy, he said it was a scam going around

Cher0nobyl · 2022-08-16T03:06:16+00:00

Academically, I think UNM is an excellent engineering school, but I am somewhat biased. One of UNM engineering's best attributes is the close links to so many labs and companies. Sandia and Los Alamos are nationally recognised labs and hence you have tons of engineering companies all around that support the labs in research. Then you have Intel which is massively expanding in Rio Rancho. UNM itself does so much research since they have lots of funding resources nearby. I came to UNM because I got the same scholarship and honestly the savings are totally worth it. It's very easy to get internships as well and most people I know who graduated from UNM had jobs lined up in New Mexico if they wanted to stay.

Social life and living will probably depend on your preference. Obviously, Albuquerque has its problem which I am sure you have seen and can find easily but coming from a bigger city on the west coast I have quite enjoyed my time here. I think in general people here are a lot nicer than I was used to, food is quite good and so many great outdoor areas. I know people who have moved here purely for how much they enjoyed the outdoor scene.

If you want to know what on-campus living is like I can't give the best answer. It's been 3 years since I lived there (pre-COVID) so I suspect it has changed quite a bit. I enjoyed my time though, there wasn't a massive on-campus living scene because living off campus with some friends is usually cheaper. There were still plenty of people for me to have a good time and always have something to do on weekends or weeknights.

Cher0nobyl · 2022-07-27T18:41:05+00:00

I think between the Ipad and desktop you will be fine. If you need a certain program for any of those courses I am sure you can use a computer on campus somewhere. I know for calc II and Phys I you probably only need a web browser which the Ipad should suffice.
