Seems like the PhD program followed the same process for all PhD applicants across all programs and to quote from earlier submission (below): Received notice to check the website for admissions decision. The rejection letter stated they had over 850 submissions this year, but didn't mention the acceptance rate. It did refer me to their 'Research Fellows Program' as an alternative, which I would need to apply for in the next two weeks. |

I also did not see the time slots for two profs. However, with Internet Explorer, I could manage to get some random time slots for them. I think it is a bug of the system. Sent an e-mail to EE admissions and still no reply. |
