更新：Gatech open house邀请，交通食宿全包 phd offer

We have received your application for admission to our graduate school here at the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering.  You deserve our sincere congratulations on your academic performance at your school, and I’m glad you are considering study in our Ph.D. program.  

We invite you to visit the H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering during our Open House for Fall 2011 doctoral applicants on April 2-3. Details are provided in the attachment.  Because of our size and the diversity of backgrounds of our applicants, we are having two visits, including one specifically for you and the other select Ph.D.-OR applicants and the other for ones seeking the Ph.D.-IE.  I hope you will give serious consideration to taking us up on this offer.  We look forward to hearing from you.

电话问了，是个offer，因为所有phd学生都有补助的，只是多少还没定，看今年funding情况。 还有各位Getach生活环境季节怎么样？ 喜欢OR 喜欢 FE 是个书呆子，但也爱玩，phd毕竟也是5年的生活，手里捏了个UCSB保底但是突然发现舍不得放开。。（google pic 搜 UCSB就知道原因拉）

附件主要内如如下，贴出来让其他同学也有个参考：
Session 1:  Ph.D. in IndustrialEngineering (IE), Computational Science Engineering (CSE), or Bioinformatics(BIO)Thursday - Friday, March 15-16, 2012Session 2:  Ph.D. in OperationsResearch (OR) or Algorithms, Combinatorics, andOptimization (ACO)Monday - Tuesday, April 2-3, 2012.During your visit, you will learn about the Stewart Schooland its substantial breadth and depthof Ph.D.-focused, teaching, and research activities.  More importantly, we give you the opportunityto interact directly with numerous School faculty members, many of whom areamong the most renowned figures in their respective fields of study.  And naturally, you will meet and interact withcurrent doctoral students.  Should youchoose to do so, you will also have an opportunity to view our campus as wellas the city of Atlanta.  Your travel, meals and lodging will be coveredby the School.

呃  楼主这个是WL?

I hope you will give serious consideration to taking us up on this offer

这个Offer应该是说PhD offer不是说invitation to open house吧...

    phd offer/ad 没提到，信里的offer是说open house的，因为开销都帮你包掉拉

打电话过去问。。。。

这个虽然看起来不是phd的offer，但楼主太强悍了，gatech想早日一睹风采。

亚特兰大去过一次，反正玩得挺多的，城市地铁也挺方便的，环境很好的。

谢谢回复 Heinrich
记得你关于Stanford的帖子，为你感觉很可惜的
不过别人说的什么“借钱也要去啊“等等这种想法完全因人而异的，根据自己情况好好做个选择加油努力怎么样都不会后悔的，祝你顺利。

有个信息你不知到有没有考虑到，funding在申硕士的时候没有批下来的话 on campus可能有各种机会自己可以来relieve家里的financial burden的，问问学校或者那里的同学这样的机会多不多。
比如我现在的master 除了开始的fellowship 30％，后来第2学期开始我开始拿research 得stipend extra 20％ tuition waive＋4000多刀一学期，加上平时自己争取的ra机会和学校其他地方岗位打工的一个月大概900刀，开销比我计划的要小很多的

祝你成功拉，我最近和自己一直说的话是得之吾幸，失之吾命，看到你的签名也很感慨呀哈哈

(∩_∩)O ~是个好消息！祝offer多多！

话说有个学姐去年去gatech参观之后又被拒了

牛人太多喽~恭喜！！
