I applied for both overseas and local, i was shortlisted for the local

it seems if you apply for both you only get shortlisted for local. Probably because it was the first applied. I think they use that as a way to reduce the candidates

crispviv:
Guys i just got phD admission to LSU with full funding.

Congratulations

I think you should be specific what research area because power system is a broad area.
most schools have power system group. But the research might not be what you are looking for. Check Iowa state, Ohio state, university of Utah, university of Tennessee

Hello guys,

Please what are my chances of getting full funding for a PhD in Electrical Engineering (Electric Power Systems) with a profile of

BEng CGPA (WES Unofficial)----- 3.5/4.0
MEng CGPA (WES Unofficial)------3.36/4.0
Work Experience : 4 years with an Electricity Distribution Company
Publications : None, though I hope to publish my thesis


NB: I am not through with my Masters yet, I actually got that GPA assuming I get a B in my Thesis. I intend writing my GRE in the 3rd quarter of the year, by then I should have completed my Masters.

I would also be glad if any one that know of schools with specialization in Electric Power Systems can recommend for me.

I think IIT don't give much funding. But getting the admission is easy especially with your profile.

What are my chances of getting TAMu or IIT

Good day all,

Please I have a little info on how to contact prof.

I use google scholar site and search for the research area of my interest. I check on the profile of people conducting research in the area. Usually on their google scholar profile page there will be a list of research interests. If you click on any one it will take you to a page with list of people with similar research interest and their number of citation. That way you can then see all of people from different school and countries with similar interest as yours.

Thanks

Good day. I wasn't able to come back and tell the house how the 2018 admission season ended for you. Well it ended without any admit.

I applied to four schools
Gatech - PhD Electrical Engineering
USC - PhD Electrical Engineering
UTK - PhD Data Science and Engineering
Oregon State - PhD Electrical Engineering (Data Science)

Basically my thought is I have a weak background in Data Science, so the rejects from UTK and Oregon State. A professor from Gatech contacted me and I was overwhelmed, then 5 days later I got a reject from them. For USC I believe the problem is they need hard copy transcript before processing application and I had delay in sending mine. Probably they do first come first serve.

My profile is
B.Eng (Electrical Engineering) 4.26/5.00
M.Sc (Electrical and Electronics) 3.5/4
GRE Q 163
V 159
A 4.0
TOEFL 105
Publication: 5 in Signal and Image processing
Work experience: 4 years in Power industry (Network Planning)


For Fall 2019 I am thinking of applying to labs that use signal processing techniques in power system.


Similarly this is to notify everyone that Fall 2019 application started yesterday for most school.

Skevin:

Just in.......
School: University of Arkansas, Fayetteville
Status: Accepted
Program: PhD Cell and Molecular Biology
Funding: Yes (GA)

I have been on this admission of a thing since 2015. Wrote GRE in 2016 but did not apply to any school due to finance. I sat for another GRE in Nov 2017 and I applied to four schools: U of Arkansas, University of Delaware, New Mexico State University, and MTU. Got a regret mail for U of Delaware already but nothing yet from NMSU and MTU. It's really been God and the encouragement I tap from people on this forum.

Profile:
UG course: Microbiology
GPA: 3.7/4.0
GRE: 307
Toefl: 105
Publication: 1 (but it was after I had already completed all my applications so it did not count really)

May those expecting admit and funding get it by His grace.... AMEN!!!

Thanks have already responded

ponpon:
See you, see funding.... Are you interested in the position? Are you interested in the research? Do you have a research interest already? Has any other prof contacted you from the school?..... I'll say hug it, unless it's something you are not interested in.

First visit the page, read the papers and get in touch.

Thanks

Nwabu007:
I believe your application is being reviewed by adcomm and the Prof must have taken interest in your profile. You can check the Prof's ongoing research and his lab out. If you are interested in the field, then you can inform him about it. However, acknowledge the mail.

Thanks

biikeys:
The question is are you interested? If so, just reply him and mention one or two things about his research work and how it aligns with your interests. Also, attach your resume. I'm sure quite a number of people in the admissions pool would have gotten back to him already..

Good day all. Please I got this email from a prof. I applied to the school but I didnt mention him in my SOP and I have never emailed him before. Please what should be the best way to reply him.


Hello,

I am Prof. XXXX, faculty at the school of ECE at XXa Tech. My lab OLIVES work at the intersection of image/video processing and machine learning with applications in a number of fields including AVs, subsurface imaging, and microscopic imaging. We are anticipating to have couple of positions for PhD thesis topics and GRA under the area of image/video processing and machine learning for seismic applications, primarily seismic interpretation. If you are interested in such topic, please visit this page. Although a background in geophysics is not required, it is a plus. For questions, please contact me Bleep and Dr. XX. You can check our papers, current team, and other materials at Bleep

best regards,

Please guru in the house should help.

Thanks that was helpful

SilentPistol:
Data Science is great, I wouldn't change it if I were you. During the course of your PhD, apply for NIW. You'll most likely get it & not have to worry about green card anymore. The job prospect is good too! Companies like KPMG, PWC, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Ford, Cummins, Lockheed Martin & even oil companies hire data scientists. Your concentration is in National Security doesn't mean you have to work in that line. UTK is a good school too. You will be very alright.

If you doubt me, log on to www.indeed.com & search 'data scientists'. You're on a good path.

femi312:
Well most graduate coordinator will only give you a percentage of students admitted and not an actual number. I believe with your profile you should get admitted but then I am not on the admision committee.I have no knowledge about data Engineering nor its job prospect. If I were you I will chase electrical engineering because I want to believe it has good job prospect like some other Engineering, although you might find it hard to get jobs after graduation if you are in the Power concentration because that sector needs DOD clearance for you to work. Again, all these are based on hear say and some students experiences. I think Biikeys is in the Electrical field, You might talk to him about his experience in electrical sector.

Well one of my major concerns is that the course is relatively new and without ranking, but with full funding, so how acceptable will it be in the job market. My specialization is Signal processing and Machine learning. Again since you have mentioned DOD, then it means I will also need clearance if i am to work in the US with the data science PhD since my concentration will be national security. Thanks

folmus:
You really know what you want. If you want to remain in academics it might be a good one but for jobs outside of academic environment,I have no idea.

the idea is research labs of companies

Please gurus in the house I need your advice. I intent to apply to UTK for PhD in Data Science and Engineering, I have mailed the coordinator several times and she is helpful but she has so far refused to answer my question regarding the number of applicants they normally have per year. Further search shows that the program is new, it was just started last year. All she keeps telling me is that about 50% of applicants are admitted. My question is, is this course really worth it considering it is a new course, currently the course is not even ranked and how about job prospect after completion.

I have already applied to other good school but for PhD in Electrical Engineering. My profile is decent; 4.26/5 UG, 3.5/4 MSc, 322 GRE, 105 TOEFL, I have 5 publications.

Please gurus I need your advice.

ridsan4real:
Scholastica16...any update from you as regards admission decisions? or am I missing something?
Best wishes!

I wanted to ask same question

Please House I have another question, do I need to select potential supervisors if its optional?

Thanks

Scholastica16:
Depends on the school. So you may need to check the requirements of your school. Some schools will evaluate the application with just uploaded versions but others will insist they must receive the official ones to deem your app complete.

Morning all. Please I have a question, do I need to send my official test score before application deadline for the application to be considered complete?

Karo168:
Please guys, I don't have my international passport with me, would national ID suffice work as an ID on test day.
Thank you again.

Unfortunately absolutely NO

Scholastica16:
Good profile Yildiz.

Most PhD programs to the B-rated programs are actually funded. So it is not the "funded" ones you should be looking for, but where you can work on the research interests you have and also where your profile can be super competitive. The funding is almost an unplanned consequence of that - for a PhD that is.

someone suggested Oregon state university and I checked it. To my surprise they actually have my exact research interest. Now trying to mail profs

TWoods:
Lol spot on! Here is One who has done his homework. $18,500 stipend was back in 2005. Today the stipend is not less than $28,500.

USC gives a minimum of $32,000 Per year
