@lilyi89 - how did your interview go? And also what department (and MS/PhD)?
info can be found on page 1
btw. It would be really nice if people can post their admission status along with their info so lurkers like me don't have to create a new account and abuse the search function
The interview was informal when they called me last year after I got in. It was just a chance to have a brief chat and congratulate you in a more personal way.
@zenker11: Thanks, much appreciated! I applied in early December and they notified me by email last Wednesday afternoon (the letter that they attached to the email was dated last Monday though). I checked up on your stats and they look solid enough (congrats on the acceptances you have btw), so hopefully they're doing acceptances in batches and you get good news too.
hi dauntless, I did some digging, and found your stats to be similar to mine. But you mentioned that you have a famous professor vouching for you. Do you have any advice or insight that can help me prepare myself? thanks

9000yearoldvegan you got perfect scores from the top engineering institution with first author publications. You're pretty much accepted to all those programs. Congrats.
