Hey friends,
I wanted to share the predicament I am going through right now.
On 5 th December 2016 the Graduate School at UNCC sent me a rejection letter citing that they receive applications from many qualified candidates and have no place for me. I had applied to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science with a broad field of interest being Power Systems and Power Electronics.
This is my profile:
Undergraduate college: National Institute of Technology, Warangal
GPA: 7.6/10
Major: Electrical and Electronics Engineering
GRE: 327
TOEFL: 117
Job Ex: 8 months at Larsen & Toubro Power Transmission Company
Industrial Internship at Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited
Research Internship at IISc B'lore
No Research Papers
UNCC was one of my safety schools that I was absolutely sure of getting into with my profile. What is more baffling is that the application portal informed me on 3rd December that they have started reviewing my applications and they reached their decision by 5th. That includes a Sunday in between. Its almost like they looked at my application and rejected me.
Does anyone have any idea about what the graduate committee was thinking or have faced anything like this before? I am beginning to wonder if this has been a case of Tufts Syndrome displayed by a not so high ranked school. Any thoughts?
