University of California, Berkeley Graduate School Admission Results

offered multi-year funding, was told the dept planned to admit ~10 students this year. had phone interview 1/28.

form letter in response to inquiry

Never say never!

(Duplicate Post from yesterday) Email said they had just completed a first round review of applicants, and I was selected for an interview. Seems like more will be coming.

To the poster below: I emailed my POI (to confirm that I hadn't gotten an interview after the 1/24 deadline) and he responded that he had no 'real information' for me. So...hope?

Didn't contact any POI before applying but have received an informal notification from POI (10:58 pacific time). The e-mail said the funding/financial support decision will take more time.

E-mail from POI gauging my interest in the program, the likelihood that I would attend if admitted, etc.

no word on funding yet.

Got an email offering (perhaps suggesting?) to switch my application from the MS to an M.Eng, an unfunded, more expensive degree. I think this is a really bad sign.

Applied in theory. General discussion about future plans, interests, etc;

was contacted by my professor of interest to tell me that the IB program cannot support a project like mine because UCB is not giving them enough space to perform molecular biology as well. i am soooooo sad. :(

recommended for multi-year fellowship but won't find out for a few weeks.
