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.

*March 46th; you're welcome, ;-)

Who else is still waiting for a decision? Is the "April 15 resolution" a real thing? If so, I think we should all receive our results by March 45th. (Yeah, by "the end" of March...)

TTPB : I also heard some ppl finished interviews and got an unofficial mail from UMich. Just wait until they will decline or make a decision for other grad school.

Got a decision email with RA offer. Had interviews in Jan and Feb.

Ignore the waitlist. Has anyone heard back? Radio silence for me.

TTPB. I think UW is really trying to push the limit of their admission process in a sense that they don't want to accept a single more student if he/she is not absolute indispensable. I guess the reason why the admission process took so long is because they're waiting response from some other students that they've sent offer to. We, who are on the waitlist, are basically waiting for those students' rejection response, or otherwise, it's gonna be a "rejection" for us. Fortunately, since there is the "April 15 resolution", I guess all students should make their decisions before that, which means we'll also get our results by that date.

Anyone heard from UW? Its March 31st already. Is it just going to be rejection at this point? :(

Was interviewed by a PI last week, as he was mentioned in my PS. He cannot determine whether to accept me until around the end of April. If the result comes late, I may consider other offers instead.

Was interviewed on the day of acceptance by a very nice female PI. I was told that this year fundings are extremely limited and ME department only plans to get 8+/- 2 PhDs for fall 2021. Profs consider students seriously before sending offers.
