Thank you for applying for graduate study at the University of California, Berkeley. After a holistic and comprehensive review of all your application materials, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer you admission at this time. The UC Berkeley campus has a strict enrollment ceiling, and we are thus very limited in the number of new students we may admit each year. The admissions committee in the program you applied to had the difficult task of selecting students with the strongest overall records from a large pool of well-qualified applicants. Unfortunately, this may result in not being able to accept many applicants who are capable or have the potential for excellent academic work. We are sorry we do not have a place for you in this year’s class. We appreciate the interest you have shown in UC Berkeley and wish you every success in your future endeavors.

Email to check portal. 3a/10r/4p

No email - saw results on gradcafe for the last few days so I kept checking

No email, just checked the portal and saw a status update and a brief rejection letter. Disappointing but expected. Good luck to everyone else! 1a/2r/1w/2p

No email, just randomly checked the portal. I knew my chance was minimal since there are only 0-2 spots for international students each year, but it still hurts. Berkeley is really my dream school. Time to move on. 5a/3r/5p
