TTPB: Didn't you attend the first session? It said the offer letters will be sent out on 26th Feb. Btw, what's your research area?

Was in touch with a prof but I knew I wasn't gonna get in. Competition is just too high, can only apply again or go to another place.

no interview yet. POI said he will make the final decision in a few days.

have a good time on the virtual campus visit. Nice interviews with POI and one other professor. Wonder when they will send the official letter

Saw it coming when I wasn't called for interviews... I should have applied to Mech. Made a serious mistake going for EECS. As a matter of fact, I don't think Berkeley was my place after all. Of all the schools I had applied to, Berkeley and SF as a whole were the most radical university locations. Being a center-rightist, I wouldn't have fit in at Berkeley. I should have thought of this before wasting $140 on this school. Also, to anyone who's applying in the future, Berkeley doesn't care about your research or crap! They just want you to be a freakin' topper at your university. They've got a mindset that toppers can do wonders. Well, let them have the toppers! The smart universities (MIT, Stanford) who also consider research experience will have the intelligent researchers!

Please post here if anyone gets an update on their application. I have not heard anything until now.

Got admitted to Rice University with full scholarship. Rice it is :)

it be like that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Had an interview in Jan and it went well. 2 good research experience. 1 good SoP. 3 great LoRs. Still not enough :(

Rejected from 2 Year MS program

Got an Email notifying me to check the portal.

PI I mentioned in my SoP/Application reached out for an interview and asking if I would like to join their group.

TTPB: Thanks ! I don't actually have a POI assigned at admission, instead I have a one year department fellowship which will allow me to finalize an advisor by end of the first year. I had 4 interviews with faculty from circuits, all went pretty smoothly, only 2 technical questions were asked.

Received an email saying "A decision has been made regarding your admission to the University of California, Berkeley." No interview.

Failure fails everyday

No interviews

I was notified by the Graduate Recruiting and Admissions Coordinator with a TA position offer. I am very excited about that !
