Got sent a fairly lengthy email basically saying that they know the deadline is coming up, and that they are still sifting through the waitlist. It seems everyone on the waitlist received this email.

1 publication, 1 internship. After talking with Berkeley students, it seems if you’re not accepted by April it’s probably a rejection

very sad. anyone who got accepted in April?

Computer Systems

No interview

Thank you for applying for graduate study at the University of California, Berkeley. After a holistic and comprehensive review of all your application materials, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission at this time. The UC Berkeley campus has a strict enrollment ceiling, and we are thus very limited in the number of new students we may admit each year. The admissions committee in the program you applied to had the difficult task of selecting students with the strongest overall records from a large pool of well-qualified applicants. Unfortunately, this may result in not being able to accept many applicants who are capable or have the potential for excellent academic work. We are sorry we do not have a place for you in this year’s class.

w/o interview

BSc (3.97/4.00) and MSc (3.94/4.00) in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Second MSc in Computer Science and Engineering, partially completed. Strong research experiences, worked on multiple projects, a total of 13 publications spanning the areas of computational design and analysis, modeling and simulation etc. Yet, I did not make it this time. Received no interviews either. I guess international applicants are having terrible luck (plus funding constraints, perhaps) this year. On a side note, I was accepted into the MEng program two years earlier (back in fall of 2024), which I could not attend due to insufficient funding. I was VERY hopeful this time, but it is what it is.

4 interviews but no invite to in person visit.
