expected. no surprise at all.

Mass mail. The fates really want to keep me away from my home state!!! -) What is the stipend of those accepted?

Second rejection today following Duke in a typical email format. Kudos on those who made it.

Was expecting this after having seen the acceptances in mid-Feb and hearing that the people I indicated that I would want to work with are all rumoured to be leaving the dept. Still kinda sad, although it definitiely makes deciding a lot easier. Congrats on those of you who got accepted!

I was a UC Berkeley undergrad - graduated cum laude, 3 great recommendations, and As in Calculus and Econ in college to make up for my "eh-ish" GRE math score. I'm a bit disappointed here - I am a dual degree application to the MPP / JD programs...here's hoping on a yes from UC Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Law!

Postmarked March 4. Surprised, to be honest.

...and I presume ability to pass the preliminary exams is correlated with ability as a research mathematician.

A professor at Berkeley told me that a high score on the GRE Math subject test is correlated with passing their required Preliminary exam (on undergraduate material) with minimal tries. That is why they really like the high gre math score, and I am not surprised if they reject you if it's too low.

to below: 740. I think they prefer over 800. My score has not kept me out of places I like better that Berkeley though, so it's less of a factor most places.

I know gre subject is really important to them (lame)

No funding

Posted earlier about hearing unofficially. Now received official offer from dept and Berkeley grad division.
