does MIT EECS give out interviews? i applied to EECS track II for systems biology (i was a math major undergrad) and i'm a bit unfamiliar with the admissions process, since it's quite different from biology graduate programs...

I have not come across of any mention of interviews for the MIT EECS program so I doubt it will happen.

What the heck. Might as well post my own. My applicant stats:

I know it's probably not 1st choice on your list, but University of Delaware is a damn good school for Chem E. They have tons of connections since DE and the surrounding area has always been a hub for the chemical industry. Plenty of their grads find decent jobs when they get out.

Did anyone get back from USC and University of Washington?

I'll give this a go :)

Did any hear back from those? Did anyone else apply for aerospace engineering?

Has anyone heard back from Berkeley EECS or Stanford EE? Based on last year's forum at least unofficial admits should be out by now....

I applied to Berkeley - MIT - Ann Arbor - Princeton

My GPA is 3.94 and I have a full scholarship from KSA Government

My GRE score is 800/230/2.5 and I am an international student

I did not receive any thing yet except the emails that prove my applications are complete

What do you think about my admission chances ?
