AD CS(MS)@UCI + 弱问

hexuanrainUID: 3026430

3.8日晚上收到EECS [email=AD@UCI]AD@UCI[/email]，major是（MS)computer systems and software。打算accept this admission.

背景如下：
211，计算机本科
GPA 3.26
TOEFL 96
GRE 1270+3.0
软件公司3年工作经验。

弱问如下：
这个学校的MS是几年？学校网站上写了最多4年内要完成至少36个学分。学费 $29,939上也没写一年完成的学分数，和一个学分多少钱，所以不能估算出这个是几年能完成的学位。问这个问题只是担心钱的问题。非常感谢。

若是9个月，那么tuition fee = 29,939 / 36 credit(at least) = 831.6（per credit）... 是不是有点便宜。。。

AD email 部分原文如下：
In order to obtain visa and I-20 documents to come to the United States, you will be required to show proof of financial support in the amount of $45,939 for the nine-month academic year beginning mid-September 2011. This number could be higher if you are being accompanied by family members. More details can be found at the UC Irvine International Center website linked below.

This estimate includes non-resident Tuition/Fees (3 quarters) of $29,939; and Room/Board, Books, Supplies, Transportation of $16,000. The financial verification documents you submit for this purpose should be recent, and must be valid for at least 6 months from the day they are received.

如果只是9个月的学习，太短了。。。

cong楼主，沾喜气

3个学期(9个月)猜想：
1.可以自己随意分配在4年以内完成规定学分，一般人2年？
2.1年完成3个学期所有学分，然后接下来1年paper or thesis?
3.第一年是3个学期9个月，还有第二年。。。

一会发邮件问学校，等待官方回答...

请耐心等待。
按照官方email的说法：with over 1400 applicants this year, and less than 15% will be admitted.
估计EECS department MS 2011 Fall 的人数至少在210人以上。。。。

刚看了课程设置，发现专业申请错了。。。。EECS下面的computer systems and software更偏向电子电路的软件设计，可以说更倾向于嵌入式软件方向吧。。。

UCI下面还有一个ICS学院，里面是真正的CS和software方向。。。。
两个学院的排名也不一样，EECS属于工程学院排名36，ICS属于计算机理科学院，是单独的一个学院，排名28。
这个AD好拿的原因可能正在这里，因为工程院不仅有EECS还有其他土木工程什么的。。。。

哎，不想碰电路。。。我以前做的都是ERP和WEB，对software engineering和database更感兴趣。嵌入式的东西更偏向于底层，和汇编或者C语言接触较多，做不出太多新鲜的东西来。
