A few (quite a few) words to new applicants:
* Like many other faculty memebers here, I receive many emails expressing interests in the graduate program in our department and our research group. I am trying to answer such emails, but may not be able to so promptly. For most cases, I may simply direct you to this page for the following reasons.
* There is a formal and very effective admission system here in the ECE department, and there is nothing I myself can do to help you in getting admission and/or financial support.
* Even in the case that you are an ideal match for our reserach group, I cannot give you the admission by myself, and I cannot help you in getting any support (mostlikely RAship) unless you first get the admission.
* How to make your application package impressive. This is a hard problem and becomes harder and harder. Standard test scores (such as GRE and TOEFL) used to a very good indicator, but not any longer. (Undergraduate) school ranking and GPA are important, but are not everything. Good and unique recommendation letters help, but almost everyone gets good letters. Now there are even templates for personal statements, which by the way should not be more than 2 pages unless you have good reasons. What may differentiate you from the rest thousands of applicants is a track record of research activities. These include for example awards at national- and international-level, and research publications.
* The final word is that once you decide to contact any faculty personally, make sure that you do your homework first. It will really turn people off if you mis-spell their names, do not have a single clue of their research interests, or broadcast the same letter to hundreds of professors in different areas.
