"We have sent out many of the PhD decisions. Applicants who have not yet received a decision are still being considered for admission by the faculty." what does it mean? Have there been any admits this week? Not much action.

Not the best fit so it's expected. Strong research exp. Good luck to those got accepted. The grind has just begun.

Did anyone from WTO (Work, Technology, Organizations) get a decision? Any decisions out for other focus areas? Still waiting. Saw on the website that decisions will be out this week. No updates yet.

TTPB: My areas are quantitative finance and stochastics. I didn't need to send any transcripts.

Congrats for the MS&E PhD offer!! Which research area?

To the person who received an offer for the MS&E PhD program, what concentration did you get into? Were you also asked to submit a transcript before/after the interview? Thanks.

Interviewed about a week ago. Was informally informed about my acceptance yesterday and got the official letter in the portal today.

Did anyone hear the MS&E Adcom for Fall 2021 asking for Official Transcripts? At this time last year, the emails were sent out asking for Internationals FINALIST to send official transcripts.

So thrilled! Accepted for Winter quarter start from early review. No full-time work experience, graduated this past year from a top UC after transferring from community college, slightly nontraditional background. Had several internships, VP student council, three research projects, exec at a startup for 2 years while still in school, and a lot of extracurricular leadership experience. Strong LORs, GPA and GRE just slightly below last year's admit stats. good luck to everyone waiting to hear back in march!

TPB: WL until next season? 2022 Fall?

Did anyone get admission to MS through early admission? High GRE Score, high GPA, 5 publications, reference from ACM fellow, graduate from top 4 CS university in US with working experiences from Google. They put me on the WL and reevaluate me next season? WTF! I can easily get admission to any top MBA programs (Harvard, Wharton, Columbia, MIT) except GSB. I'm sick of MSE admission committee and going to withdraw my application. The only thing makes them look better is to WL/reject top talent.

Was told I was going to be put in the larger pool of application decisions, to be announced in March 2020. Bummer, I thought I had a really good shot for early admit. Ivy league undergrad, top tier work experience (tech/VC), have taken 4 SCPD classes with all A's, good recs, etc. Guess we will see what happens in March.

so damn late....

Anyone else still waiting?? I have heard absolutely nothing and I emailed them asking if they had an update... wondering if I'm rejected or waitlisted and if I should give up hope

Will decline the offer since I have decided to do a PhD directly in another school. I am a final year undergrad from a business school (accounting and business double degree), specializing in Actuarial Science. No work experience, no publication. Some research experience in risk and insurance. Strong LoRs. Hope it helps!

Posting accepted profile to help others. BS EE (3.36) from Pakistan. 1yr teaching at school. 5+yrs as startup founder. Deep interest in social entrepreneurship & policy. LORs from profs with top-tier int. research collabs & papers, but zero research experience. Near-perfect GRE.

US citizen, BS degree from LUMS (Pakistan). Received email to check status after requesting official transcript.

Kind of heart broken :(

Thought I would get in with HCP. Isn't it supposed to be easier for HCP applicants?
