In continuing correspondence with my POI (whom I've met/interviewed/etc), he said that the admissions committee was still discussing applications, fit and funding, but that he had expressed interest in my candidacy. An hour later, one of the people cc:ed on his email to me sent me a formal acceptance email and .pdf on Berkeley letterhead. **Don't worry- acceptances haven't been sent out yet (will start next week). Admissions committee still isn't done, funding hasn't been decided.** FYI - this was the only school to which I applied, since my new advisor is the best in his field and a perfect fit in terms of research interests. So, so happy. Good luck, everyone! Berkeley's visiting weekend is March 6-8th; hope to meet you all there!

(Interviewed in January) Full funding+health insurance, a moving stipend, and lots of forms!

Per web site, letter is in the mail. Radically changing fields after several years out of undergrad; solid scores, well-written SOP are what pulled me through I think. Good luck all!

4 of my classmates also been interview in this week!

You will be receiving an email from us with a scanned copy of your admissions letter. In addition, your academic advisor will be contacting you by email early next week to welcome you and answer any questions that you may have. (MPH degree)

Email first, then a letter showed up later that week.

Clicked on a link on website application notifying of decision. Was not emailed about decision.

Emailed to check status. Found out no longer reviewing applications for Fall 2010, am now being considered for 2011. SOPHAS took too long to process application even though I submitted it well before deadline.

Interviewed 2 days after invited
