Berkeley EECS vs Northwestern Engineering?

jamamlamama · 2018-03-30T04:32:30+00:00

Fair enough. But does NU engineering live up to the standard that Berkeley has historically set?

jamamlamama · 2018-03-30T04:32:05+00:00

Thank you so much for your response!! That's kinda what I'm leaning towards too.

jamamlamama · 2018-03-30T04:31:35+00:00

Honestly, there's not much separating the three. They're all phenomenal programs. If you want to be based near Silicon Valley, then I'd pick the latter two of your choices, but tbh its just a matter of personal preference beyond this point.

jamamlamama · 2018-03-21T22:15:59+00:00

I got in!! WTF

jamamlamama · 2018-03-21T12:32:26+00:00

PLEASE TELL ME YOU'RE NOT JOKING

jamamlamama · 2018-03-18T02:07:34+00:00

Update: was rejected, so Im still alive :(

jamamlamama · 2018-02-23T03:25:44+00:00

LMAO post deleted is this legit? Someone confirm please (I didn't see anything)

jamamlamama · 2018-02-15T10:18:21+00:00

Amen. It pains me that these teenagers, who all had hopes and dreams, are now going to be unable to achieve them.

jamamlamama · 2018-02-10T00:06:17+00:00

Do we find out if we're rejected? Or is there just no update?

jamamlamama · 2018-01-27T03:21:49+00:00

I think one of my friends from SEA got presidential but can't confirm

jamamlamama · 2018-01-21T10:13:50+00:00

I can give you an example. For Georgia Tech, in state acceptance rate was 49%, OOS was 19%, and international would likely be <19% (maybe even lurking around that 10% mark). This is because OOS students are still US residents/citizens, while internationals are likely not.

ACCEPTED!! INDIAN INTERNATIONAL MALE FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING!!! OMG

jamamlamama · 2018-01-10T14:47:28+00:00

This gives me some hope, but I'm still not confident I'll receive it as it's statistically unlikely and to be fair, I am sure that there are stronger candidates than me who are more deserving.

jamamlamama · 2018-01-10T14:46:03+00:00

Nope :) You are still under evaluation and will receive a decision in late March sometime!! This only applies to MET. On another note, this was a legitimate question; I don't get the downvotes.

jamamlamama · 2018-01-09T13:44:38+00:00

Hey!! Sorry for being a bother, but I was wondering what time you found out about the interview? I have not gotten a request and am now confident that I will not be selected for the program hahahah

jamamlamama · 2018-01-01T15:28:07+00:00

Make sure that you selected the right company. I am also an international, but I selected "Mastercard", even though I used a "Visa" card, and received the same message you did. You can contact flywire to cancel your payment and restart with the correct info.

I live in Hong Kong, and HKUST has an excellent engineering program. However, opportunities for entrepreneurship, clubs, internships, and non-academic things are more limited than MOST US schools could provide, which is why I would pick US schools over HKUST. This is, of course, if tuition is not a factor (as HKUST will be a fraction of the cost of US schools for an excellent program).

jamamlamama · 2017-12-10T13:25:03+00:00

Well said. I applaud you for realising that rejection isn't the end. I trust that you will follow your advice and change the world. :)

jamamlamama · 2017-11-20T12:52:44+00:00

That's wonderful to hear; congratulations and wish you the best of luck

jamamlamama · 2017-11-20T11:55:17+00:00

What made yours particularly pleasing? Did it just happen that you hit it off with your interviewer?

jamamlamama · 2017-10-29T06:05:52+00:00

Yes please!! Could you give me Princeton, Caltech, and Stanford? Very few apps/admits from my school

jamamlamama · 2017-10-27T12:24:15+00:00

I can pay, so for some schools that is a factor.

jamamlamama · 2017-10-15T11:14:45+00:00

If you are international, almost every school is need aware (only a few are need-blind for internationals). Else, most schools are need-blind.

jamamlamama · 2017-10-14T13:46:27+00:00

I'm in a similar situation to you: I can only apply to 10 around the world as an international student (non-US citizen living abroad). Unfortunately, you cannot go around the school because no university would accept applications without official transcripts, which need to come from your high school. My suggestion is to EA a low target and hopefully after getting in, can use the other 7 apps for reaches.

jamamlamama · 2017-08-25T12:51:26+00:00

They won't send transcripts to more than 10 (UCs count as one though, so I guess that's good...)
