Applied to the PhD program. Accepted to the M.S.

Professional MS in Mechanical Engineering (non-thesis), submitted app a few days before deadline of 2/15/21.

Did any master applicant hear anything from them yet..? And is it true that they admit a very small no. of master students? Kindly share any relevant info, can't bear the wait, they are not even replying to queries anymore

Recommended for admission.

Received mail stating that I was recommended for admission.

TTPB: (Ignore waitlist) Guys, at what time did u guys receive the mail/notification? And what research area did u apply? Thank you

Got an email to check application portal. The dreaded generic rejection letter was uploaded there.

TTPB: Same here, I haven't received any update on my application either. According to their website, all results will be out by April 1st, so let's just wait for one day more. Good luck!

Not surprise

TTPB: Thank you so much for your words of encouragement, it really means a lot :) It has been a really tough application cycle and it is reassuring to know others are in the same boat! Maybe something in the education system / academia should change if so many students go through such a terrible time hahaha. It's comforting knowing that grad school will always be there in the future too! :D Good luck everyone, we will all get through this soon, almost at the finish line!!!

It's the last day of march and still not a single peep... am i the only one? This is getting kind of ridiculous

Don't worry ;-) I've neither applied to Berkeley, nor have I applied to any Mechanical Engineering program (I'm a Physics major transitioning to Materials). Anyway, it never hurts to lighten the mood given the immense anxiety, flaring tempers and despair everywhere; There already seems to be an angry mob gathering among Economics PhD applicants (rightful and necessary; to knock some sense into the nincompoop who tried to act smart where and when they shouldn't); even I've been refreshing my inbox and this forum repeatedly for updates. I'm trying my best to cope up with anxiety and desperation, like all of you, but don't worry; this too shall pass.

yeah I've been refreshing my email and this page nonstop since Monday . . . since they said an admissions update would be sent no later than Monday :'( just put me out of my misery right now lol this is just messed up leading us on with no real date

TTPB: What is your specialization?

GPA 4/4 - GRE: 170/165/5.5 - Interview with my POI in late Feb. - get an unofficial admission in mid march - No official letter yet

Did not receive funding for MS thesis option.
