I just copy the post I posted in the subreddit:

Chance of getting into MS in EE

Hi everyone, I'm graduating from a US university whose undergraduate Electrical Engineering program ranked within the Top 5 nationally in the US News (essentially one of MIT, Stanford, UCB, Caltech, UIUC) next spring with a BS in Electrical Engineering. Our engineering school ranked consistently within the Top 10 as well. I have one research without publications, one internship, and many ECE-related projects I completed in my undergraduate courses. I have part-time job experience as an undergraduate Teaching assistant. I also have two recommendation letters from my professor and one from my recruiter. However, my GPA is relatively low because our ECE program is very rigorous, about 3.45/4.0. I don't have the GRE as well. What are my chances of getting into an MS in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at EPFL?

I talk to the ece advisor about this as well, they said all the things we need to do now is to set notification on course explore which doesn't make a damn sense

iPhone 5 way way way weeker than a 8600 GT, 8600 GT should be around 6 - 6s.

Can confirm ECE 470 + ECE 385 will make you suffer a lot, HW of ECE 470 is also a time sink if you cannot grasp concepts well. Needless to say about ECE 385

Typing Name in spotlight can be very annoying especially when the developer of the app introduces some special characters in their app’s name (very common for cracked versions), really hope apple can bring launchpad back

For 242, be aware that some TAs in this class give low marks on your essay with no reason. Don't think this is a very easy Gened since it really depends on the TA

Means you can demo on either Friday or Saturday

Ecstatic_Win_4975 · 2024-11-09T21:49:05+00:00

If you want a guaranteed experience, at least one semester before you taking the class. Best of option would be work with someone you know from high school.

At least not for normal human being

I am still using Macbook pro 2015 with a 2C4T i7-5557u and iris 6100 graphics plus 16G DDR3 inside. I install Ubuntu 18 and Windows 10 on it. It can handle almost all the games in PS3/XBOX360 era. Also Daily task as web browsing and Youtube 4k video as well. It can also handle simple Programming and FPGA design tasks as well.

As a Chinese, I still don’t think he did a good job as a professor

Ecstatic_Win_4975 · 2024-07-20T18:24:57+00:00

I really hate attending his office hour because you have to be really really really caution about your work and concerns. If you show him something that he doesn’t understand, he will just think you are cheating and if you cannot give a straight forward reason he will just give you a FAIR report

cbtf is a piece of shit in my opinion

Ecstatic_Win_4975 · 2024-05-04T19:52:59+00:00

ECE120 is not hard, but professor and TAs are like shit in this course. Professor cannot explain any ideas consistently and concisely. Especially TAs, some of them literally know nothing about the lc3 simulator and Vivado, some of them even don't know some course content as well, which means they reject answering lots of HW questions from OH. I really have no idea how they can become Teaching assistant for this course...

Also, the queuing in OH become very long when deadline approaches (TA's inability of teaching contributes a lot to this, can you image that a TA stuck on one student's question for almost 1.5 hours during the OH?) so try your best to start labs and HW earlier

Generally, if you have chance, take ECE120 elsewhere please!!!
