TTPB: Same here. I've been waiting for the results too. Actually, I inquired Viterbi about my application last week, and haven't heard back from them. I need to know very soon, since I'm going back my country if not admitted. Wouldn't expect this takes that much:(

I was told that the HBR program sends out offers in waves, as they wait to hear from those who were offered fellowships first, then they start sending out TA/RA offers. I received a TA/RA offer with full funding for 5 years. However, I declined today. Excellent program, but it just wasn't going to work with my career goals and family situation. Good luck to those of you who do decide to attend!

Is anyone still waiting for notification? I haven't heard anything from the department. They said they are trying to make the decisions before April 15th.
