Did any master applicant hear anything from them yet..? And is it true that they admit a very small no. of master students? Kindly share any relevant info, can't bear the wait, they are not even replying to queries anymore

Recommended for admission.

Received mail stating that I was recommended for admission.

Contacted the grad coordinator about my application status. She replied ''I spoke with our Director of Programs who does admissions, and she explained that we have made the first round of offers to prospective PhD students. We are waiting on the responses to these initial offers to see if we will make additional offers in the near future. Please keep monitoring your email and application portal for updates. ''

TTPB: (Ignore waitlist) Guys, at what time did u guys receive the mail/notification? And what research area did u apply? Thank you

Got an email to check application portal. The dreaded generic rejection letter was uploaded there.

TTPB: Same here, I haven't received any update on my application either. According to their website, all results will be out by April 1st, so let's just wait for one day more. Good luck!

Not surprise

I had applied for S21, got accepted at that time but did not get funding. Deferred the admit to F21. Interviewed with a couple of professors. Got an GRA offer from one professor in March 3rd week.

Anyone got a decision from any of the engineering programs yet?

TTPB: Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, it really means a lot :) It has been a really tough application cycle and it is reassuring to know others are in the same boat! Maybe something in the education system / academia should change if so many students go through such a terrible time hahaha. It's comforting knowing that grad school will always be there in the future too! :D Good luck everyone, we will all get through this soon, almost at the finish line!!!

It's the last day of march and still not a single peep... am i the only one? This is getting kind of ridiculous

Don't worry ;-) I've neither applied to Berkeley, nor have I applied to any Mechanical Engineering program (I'm a Physics major transitioning to Materials). Anyway, it never hurts to lighten the mood given the immense anxiety, flaring tempers and despair everywhere; There already seems to be an angry mob gathering among Economics PhD applicants (rightful and necessary; to knock some sense into the nincompoop who tried to act smart where and when they shouldn't); even I've been refreshing my inbox and this forum repeatedly for updates. I'm trying my best to cope up with anxiety and desperation, like all of you, but don't worry; this too shall pass.

yeah I've been refreshing my email and this page nonstop since Monday . . . since they said an admissions update would be sent no later than Monday :'( just put me out of my misery right now lol this is just messed up leading us on with no real date

TTPB: What is your specialization?

Did not receive funding.
