hmm If you want to do power in grad school i don’t think the embedded systems experience will hold you back! that experience is still super valuable, a bunch of those skills transfer over to power systems, so you can definitely make that work for the applications. also if i were you i wouldn’t worry about finding a program that’s super power-focused. you can definitely tailor your app to support a transition to power, but even so most grad programs are flexible, and you can specialize once you’re in. many profs will let you do your own thing as long as it fits somewhat within their work. for example i wanted to do VR/hci/haptics work from the moment i started MIT, and i currently do that but in a drones lab because it can be applied there. the sucky part is that im often left to figure things out by myself rather than following up on existing research in our lab, so there are always pros and cons!

awww haha well maybe some other fun places? thank you!!

thank you 😊

Don’t panic you’ve got this 🤧❤️ Congratulations 🎉🎊 this is just the beginning

ahhh thank you 😩😂

thank you! i really hope so 😩😂❤️

thank you, and it’s always great to hear there are more of us 😊 i haven’t really talked a lot about my start up but i definitely can!

i’m sorry i don’t take personal questions anymore because i just get so many and they are often the same question but specific to each persons own situation and it ends up requiring a deeper review. but if it’s something i really haven’t touched on in my videos or in comments and you feel comfortable anonymizing/generalizing your questions and asking publicly i can answer so that everyone can benefit!

right 😂 i think it was lol

thanks tom 😊

so i did my masters during undergrad (stanford’s coterm program) but it took me 6 years, the 9 years will just be the phd

i guess i just use them as an example to say that we who struggle in this research world sometimes fail to get the recognition that people who didn’t have to go through it do. we definitely shouldn’t idolize them

thank you! i appreciate the support especially given my inconsistency 😊

thank you 😊 i’m doing pretty good, hope you’re doing well too in the real world lol

The interdisciplinary fields are a little bit tougher for beginners because they mainly focus on the applications and may assume you know the machine learning. I would recommend exploring some Kaggle competitions (if you search "kaggle competitions healthcare" or "kaggle competitons medicine" it should take you to the search page) and see how other people have solved the problem, then maybe try to make your own solution (referring to basic ML tutorials as you go) I also think its really useful to read survey papers, for you specifically on AI in healthcare and medicine, and that would also give you an idea of where the field is and what kinds of methods people are using

Yup except it’s pass/no pass. The no pass didn’t have an effect on my GPA. I didn’t have any interviews for grad school and nobody mentioned it or seemed to care to be honest. although i highly doubt they looked at my transcript in detail, probably just at my overall GPA

I don’t think so. There are master’s programs at the med school, but I dont think nursing is included

it depends on the class, a lot of CS classes would weigh the homework higher than tests so you can make up for it, but also there were huge curves in the grading of many classes when I was in undergrad that i imagine still exist today!

Hey! From my past experience I think that the reviewers are very aware of this and are instructed to take it into account. When people review your app they are basically told that GPAs vary from institution to institution (especially at international schools) so GPA is usually not the deciding factor when moving an applicant forward to the next stage of review. For many applicants the GPA just has to be “good enough,” especially if the institution has a reputation for being rigorous, as in that situation a lower GPA isn’t a huge indicator that someone wouldn’t be successful at MIT. While the GRE can somewhat help, I don’t think it is considered super heavily, so in my opinion your experiences (research/internships) will be considered more heavily than any test scores. That being said a high GRE score is never a bad thing 🙂

i did two internships during MIT, one was google and one was for a fellowship. many people do them, just not every summer, i wouldn’t have done the second one if not for the fellowship, and your advisor will probably suggest that once is enough lol

that’s a long story i suppose, but I really do enjoy the research!

sure! do you mean databases outside of notion?

omg thank you!! i mean the databases created in notion!@@fancyfueko

thank you 🥹🫶🏾

honestly i rarely understand the concepts fully when the professor explains it unless i know it beforehand. i feel like most people i meet are also like this and i spend a lot of time in office hours and reading and looking for videos/other online resources that explain it better, and sometimes the course material explains the concepts better. i do feel like you can teach yourself to be better at real time comprehension but i haven’t mastered that, especially not in the sciences

@@fancyfueko i really feel stupid before your comment and i think i just need to accept my nature and have to work enough than over.

@diasposangare1154 you’re definitely not stupid, i know it sucks to have to work harder than it seems others do but it will get easier!

thank you so much 🙏🏾🥹 and congrats to you and your daughter! sounds like she has a bright future ahead, especially with such a supportive mom like you 😊

@@fancyfueko thanks so much It isnt to review my application honestly, I just wanted to have a general insight on how this program is going for you at the moment and then if I do get in bt Gods grace , I do get to meet you and say you were part of the people who inspired me to get into this school :)

it’s definitely possible but difficult to do, you would need to plan ahead!

@@fancyfueko thank you

@fancyfueko

there’s actually no standard way in EECS, we don’t have rotations in this department like others do. but usually if you’re accepted you’ll have meetings with different professors during visit days, and one of them may offer you a funded position in their lab. however sometimes you are just given a fellowship for one or more years, but no funding offer from any of the advisors you meet with. however you will likely not be accepted without some sort of interest from at least one professor!

ooh great suggestion, stay tuned 🙂

thank you! my name is Ifueko, thanks for subscribing 😊

Nope but I wish! I didn’t make the submission deadline back in february 😢 but hopefully next year I’ll be at both ICRA and IROS!

not everyone has to be, but many people here are math experts!

thanks doctor 😊
