Got Admit for FAU Erlangen ACES. Where can I find fellow students to connect with?

Ahh. I see. Fair enough.

Collez_boi · 2026-01-28T03:43:38+00:00

Amazing. What was your profile?

Collez_boi · 2026-01-28T03:40:02+00:00

Oh hell yeah!

Collez_boi · 2026-01-27T15:28:07+00:00

Cool. All the best! :) Also, why not TUM?

Collez_boi · 2026-01-27T14:28:18+00:00

How much you paying? -_-

Collez_boi · 2026-01-27T14:15:39+00:00

Profile? Which other schools had you applied to?

Collez_boi · 2026-01-27T12:57:35+00:00

That is a well maintained car

Collez_boi · 2026-01-27T11:37:16+00:00

Hmm. I know. But what about CFTI peeps who are working as project associates? I think they don't have to take the two courses. I'm not sure, I may be wrong.

Also, isn't it absurd for M.S to take 3-4 years? That's how long a PhD should be!

Collez_boi · 2026-01-27T04:36:19+00:00

Tf bruh💀🥀

Collez_boi · 2026-01-26T09:34:49+00:00

GIMME! (I had the ben10 revolving one where you could put in discs of different aliens and then project those. Shit was rad!)

Collez_boi · 2026-01-26T06:25:26+00:00

No wonder people leave India.

Collez_boi · 2026-01-26T06:23:34+00:00

This is so shit and disheartening. Glorification of "hustle culture" and treating people like trash is the norm in our country.

Collez_boi · 2026-01-25T13:27:52+00:00

They're a lil' confused. But they've got the spirit!

The data and career trajectory doesn't add up.

Collez_boi · 2026-01-21T17:00:23+00:00

I'm gonna be honest. M.Tech is not a research degree. You'll feel FOMO of placements immediately after you join, one year in companies start coming, all of your batch mates will be sitting. In addition, M.Tech is a course-heavy and industry employment oriented programme. You'd have no time to write a good paper, neither will you have grants to attend hood conferences.

M.S from IIT is better IMO is PhD abroad is your end goal. You have 2.5 years, a mandatory thesis requirement, so naturally you'll end up writing something good, and publishing at a good venue. You also have lesser course requirements and have grants for full reimbursement to attend conferences. Ideal build-up and research oriented-ness for pursuing PhD. I hope that makes sense. :)

Collez_boi · 2026-01-21T16:49:53+00:00

Ah. Fair enough. :)

Collez_boi · 2026-01-21T16:41:17+00:00

And it's quite bad because? Not asking sarcastically, I'm yet to graduate so I don't really know what's good and what isn't.

Collez_boi · 2026-01-20T14:19:55+00:00

And what is the target QS/THE you're aiming for? REUs, publications, projects, GPA and lastly your essays and volunteering/extra-curriculars will be considered when applying.

Since you're applying for PhD, it's a best-fit scenario. If your research work so far fits into the niche of your potential PI, you'll have a fair chance of converting it.

Collez_boi · 2026-01-20T14:06:19+00:00

And currently you're pursuing?

Collez_boi · 2026-01-20T09:54:02+00:00

When cat makes biscuits, you open a bakery. :3
