Ignore the status, any updates about this program?

No GRE. Triple Majored CS/Psych/Education at Berkeley. Non-Traditional background Transfer student. 2 Good LOR. No Idea how good my 3rd was (1 research/1 very close prof/1 work). I had Half a Year UG research experience(CC transfer) that was very applicable to learning. Scattered education related experience(college tutor, museum learning, k-12 fieldwork) but none of my experience was 1+ years long nor full time. Looking at LDT alumni I knew I didn't have the full time experience applying straight from Undergrad, and my 3.7 GPA could've been better. Yet even if I wasn't very competitive I still poured my heart out in my SOP and hoped for at least being waitlisted. Hurts a lot.
