I hadn't heard anything and decided to send an e-mail last night about my app status. I just found out today that I have been wait-listed (for quite some time?) Initial offers have already been made and those accepted were to reply by April 1st. The admissions committee has 300 applications to review. : ( Waiting for a response about whether the wait-list is ranked yet.

Dreaming rejection!Will go to another dreaming school instead.

Generic letter which stated "many high quality applicants like yourself were turned down due to lack of department external funding" etc...etc...

phone call asking me of detail explanation of my application followed by notice of the accept.

Is there anyone heard from the school?

I am sorry to inform you that the Genetics admissions committee did not recommend you for admission to the program this year. Due to limitations on the number of new students each year, they must deny more applicants than they accept. You will receive formal notification from the Office of Graduate Studies. We appreciate your interest in our program at UC Davis and wish you success in your academic pursuits.

I really thought I was going to get in after interviewing. : (

Has anyone heard decision from this dept? It is already late March.

academic-year stipend of $24,800, full tuition, and student health insurance. package also includes 2 summer stipends of $4,400 each.

100% sure nobody looked at my applicaion. i sent all material on time but at early feb, i received an email they are missing my gre and toefl. i double- checked with ets and made sure everything was there. i tried to email & call several times with no response. Finally, i managed to call at end of february and the grad secretary told me that if my file had been completed, i would have received an email, otherwise it is not complete & wasn't forwarded to the grad committee. Then i got the grad school rejection mail dated march 5th. Of course i didn't receive any completed status email in that 5 day period. The grad secretay literally told me when i politely asked her on the phone to check what is still missing " do u know how many international applications we receive every year? i can't check anything more than once" i really wish i hadn't paid those 50$.

Got an offer letter after I called to ask

Letter dated Feb 27, 2009

Randomly checked the website. I would have appreciated a decent rejection email from the DGS or at least an email directing to the website from the graduate school.
