Had two yrs of research experience at university lab. Two international conf. papers. Great LORs. I also specifically indicated that I wanted to continue for PhD and wrote three faculty I wanted to work with, this may have had a positive affect. There is no info on fellows or assistantships yet. I wish the best of luck to everyone applying for all their applications! Keep you morals high, offers continue until mid-March!

I don't know their standard......I have three published first-author journal papers (including two IEEE T-ED), two first-author submitted papers, and two first- and second-author invited conference papers. Anyway, fortunately, I have got MIT and UC Berkeley EECS offer.

@the person asking about Stanford interviews: I'm not the person who you're asking, but someone else who interviewed and they gave no indication that they were done interviewing/admitting (although I can't imagine them accepting without interviewing at some point). However, they have said that our results should be out in the next week or 2
