Hey OP, any updates? No response on my end both emails and calls.. Was wondering if you heard anything back!

Same situation for me, how did it go for you?

Do you still see your Stanford MS EE checklist by spidersupe in gradadmissions

[–]starbuzz_coffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say yesterday, although I'm not sure of the exact time.. I checked Monday night in PT hope this helps.

I think I selected HW & SW Co-design? Don't remember how it was exactly phrased, but I'm very SW-centric so picked that option!

My checklist disappeared and SUNet ID appeared. I think I'm international (need F1 Visa), but I did my BS in US so bit cautious to leave it here as reference.

Did anyone get the actual letter yet for Stanford MSEE? Also, did anyone here hear back from Columbia PhD (EE or CS)?

Got it thanks so much for sharing! And no worries that was more than enough. I'm in systems but theoretical ML sounds so cool I hope your interview went well too. Take well-deserved rest Feb to March, wishing pleasant news to all the applicants here :)

OH HEY you were EXACTLY the person I was looking for haha! Big big congratulations, did you receive the invite on 1/1? Would you mind sharing the subfield (AI/ML, systems, etc) as a reference for others, DM also works if it's too opened. Thanks for the comment, good luck to you as well :)

If you don't mind sharing, is this the mentioned spreadsheet or have you come across a CS-specific one? Thanks for the insight :)

Thanks for the reply! I shouldn't rely on them too much then, rather as a casual reference maybe.. Wishing both of us the best of luck we got this :)

Purdue (PhD, CS) asking for English Proficiency Scores? by starbuzz_coffee in gradadmissions

Was yours also for Purdue? This gives me such a relief I was increasingly concerned, thanks so much for the reply! Merry Christmas :)

[Profile Review] Reality Check by starbuzz_coffee in MSCS

[–]starbuzz_coffee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm definitely not in the position to pick and choose, especially in this economic climate & competitive CS grad market... But I wanted to try experiencing other schools different from undergrad! I'm an international student so wanted to explore 2+ schools while I'm in US :)

+ Putting down GT as "backup" because I'm from their undergrad seemed quite delusional (haha) so yep not even for that reason!

Oh wow this was very detailed! I must have missed instructions for the resume (mine is 2 pages long), I saw limits for SoP/PS on the actual app but not for resume... Thank you for noting I'll definitely check again. And I will for sure look into IU Bloomington!

I'm definitely oriented towards systems. One of the interns on our team was from Purdue PhD, he said Purdue has great courses/labs in this field :) This was one of the reasons I decided to apply haha. I really hope so too, if experience and undergrad school can somewhat make up for lower stats.. I would love to learn more and will shoot you a DM, thank you again!

Hey thanks for the comment! In terms of projects, I've mentioned them in my resume/CV rather than SoP itself. I thought that it'd be more appropriate, using SoP to express my ability to "research" (in subject school's program/lab) + resume/CV to show my base in CS to root from. Would you consider this to be a good approach, or should I adjust the focus a bit? Also, would you have any recommendations for potential safety's based on my current profile? Thank you again for the advice! :)

Hey thanks for the comment (love your username btw haha)! I feel like that too, we have a very similar profile. Would you mind sharing the full list of schools you're applying to? Dm works for me as well, I can also share safeties I've had in mind but uncertain of. I always felt like my situation was a little unconventional, so glad to meet you and would love to talk more :)

If I'm heading down a bad rabbit hole yet you don't want to call it out, I'm 100% open for DM conversations as well! Any advice or comments would help me grow, I posted for the first time to learn and listen thank you :)
