no interview, no gre

Waitlisted since mid Feb, #1 on the waitlist for a spot in this lab according to PI (Tsutsui lab). Update from PI Mar 31st that the candidate ahead of me is still waiting on details from other offers. If you see this and you have an offer that is a better fit, please decline Berkeley and save a fellow entomologist; this is truly my dream program and additionally getting off this waitlist is my only possible acceptance this cycle. #antsaremylife lol :’ )

if you have another offer that is a better fit, pleaseeeeee decline the offer from Berk soon. i’m on a very short waitlist but the federal deadline is coming fast, so please be considerate with your timeline for decisions and give waitlist people a chance. this is my only hope :(

I interviewed back at the end of January. In early March, I received an email from the admin assistant/head of grad admissions that I would hear soon. Received a rejection via email today.

Don’t know why past records are all deleted but has anyone received any update on waitlist status?

Program: Master of Development Engineering (MDevEng)University: UC Berkeley Status: Accepted Notes: Received admission offer for the Master of Development Engineering program at UC Berkeley. I'm extremely excited about the opportunity, as UC Berkeley is my top choice due to its exceptional faculty, community, and research initiatives. Currently seeking financial assistance options due to personal financial constraints—coming from Kazakhstan, a single-parent family with annual income below $25,000. Previously secured a full-ride financial aid package from Georgetown University for undergraduate studies, significantly easing family financial pressures. Other competing offers included generous financial assistance from Columbia University, London School of Economics (LSE), Georgetown, and Copenhagen Business School. Despite these, I strongly prefer UC Berkeley and am willing to make significant commitments and sacrifices to attend. Actively pursuing internal opportunities for Teaching or Research Assistantships at UC Berkeley, specifically interested in engaging with professors such as Dr. David Zilberman, Dr. Marco Gonzalez-Navarro, and Dr. Shankar Sastry, as well as research initiatives associated with Blum Center for Developing Economies, Big Ideas Contest, Engineers Without Borders, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Also exploring external funding (Fulbright), and considering educational loans (MPOWER) with a responsible repayment plan in place. Intending to pursue the PhD track in Development Engineering at UC Berkeley following the master's degree completion.
