I will know the answer by next week. Many of my co-workers have Phd's from top schools and one of them will try to hook me up with his old roommate who is a prof now in a top 10 school...not a sure bet yet but there is hope.

thanks...the school I'm trying to get into is pretty big on engineering...so hopefully the prof can decide.

If one professor is interested in a certain student would that be enough to be admitted into a top EE program. Or the admission committee always have the final say?

Do I have a chance to get into following VLSI deisgn EE PhD program? Georgia Institute of Technology - 6 Purdue University–West Lafayette (IN) - 10 University of Texas–Austin - 12 Texas A&M University–College Station - 18 Pennsylvania State University - 18Virginia Tech - 29 Arizona State University (Fulton) - 29 BSEE 3.8/4.0, Co-op experience. MSEE 3.7/4.0, Thesis but no IEEE publication, RA position, univ scholarsips. Working as a product/test engineer for a semiconductor company for 3 years. Planning to take GRE, expect to get ~540-600V, 720-760Q, 4.5-5.0 AWA. I having been taking part time classes on VLSI design while working full time. My plan to is apply for Fall 2007. What can I do now to increase my chance? Thanks!
