[size=13.333333969116211px]We have carefully reviewed your application to the PhD program in
[size=13.333333969116211px]Electrical Engineering:Systems at the University of Michigan. We are very impressed by your qualifications and achievements. Admission to the PhD program is very competitive and limited by the number of available openings with funding within each area of our program. Regretfully, we are unable to offer you admission to the PhD program. As an alternative, we would like to offer you admission to the Master's program in Electrical Engineering:Systems, should you be interested in this possibility. Our MS program offers a dynamic environment for graduate education with challenging opportunities, world-renowned faculty, and state-of-the-art facilities. Unfortunately, we do not offer financial aid to students enrolled in the MS program.
[size=13.333333969116211px]Please note that it is possible to seek admission to the PhD program once you are a Master's student here. This is not guaranteed however, and typically only a small number of students are admitted to the PhD each year in this manner. Further details about the transition from MS to PhD are given at:
