I regret to inform you that you have not been accepted for graduate study in Social Welfare at UC Berkeley. All of the material submitted with your application has been reviewed by the Social Welfare admissions committee. Unfortunately, they were unable to recommend you for admission. The Berkeley campus has a strict enrollment ceiling and thus we are very limited in the number of students we may admit each year. The School of Social Welfare also experienced a record number of applications for fall 2012 resulting in the admissions committee having the difficult task of selecting a small number of students from a large pool of well-qualified applicants. Unfortunately, this results in not being able to accept many applicants who are capable of excellent academic work. I am sorry that we do not have a place for you in this year's entering class and hope that you will be able to make other arrangements to achieve your goals. Sincerely, Admissions Office School of Social Welfare UC Berkeley

It's my first choice, so I will stay on the waitlist until they let me in!

very nice email

The associate director of doctoral program said: They plan to send their decision letters by end of March.

Since we are committed to funding all entering students, the number of incoming students we accept is restricted by our financial resources.

Received the letter of death. Looks like all rejections have come through the mail. It's nice of them to send individual letters. Strike 2.

So excited!
