Graduate School Admission Results

Got rejected first, then accepted; I can't believe the 180 I pulled they really had me in the first half

(Ignore waitlist) To the poster below, the ME PhD offer, could you share your track?

(ignore interview) Any one who knows when the final decision will be released at the latest? or when the second round of rejection would come out? I didn't have any updates from now on. What is happening?

Really excited!! Non data science undergrad from Oxbridge with 1.5 yrs working experience in related field

Ignore waitlist, I emailed admissions but haven't heard back. Does anyone know when to expect results?

If anyone has an offer from Berkeley that they're no longer interested in, please, please decline it as soon as you can -- this is my only chance! I would really appreciate a quick declination since they plan to make decisions on waitlisted people soon in the coming week.

Track: Data Science and Systems

MEng program in Mechanical Engineering, Product Design. Originally applied for the MS but it looks like they aren't accepting terminal MS candidates this year, so I switched consideration to MEng

Hey y'all! I made a forum for us to connect, probably easier than here! It's called "UC Berkeley MS/PhD or PhD Mechanical Engineering Program 2021." Hope to see you there! :)

(Ignore the waitlist) Did anyone apply to the MS/PhD program? There is no update on my application page. I believe that's a rejection.

Got email telling me to check account for decision, saw rejection letter on account page.

TTPB: (I think we'd better move our discussion to the forum) My guess is: works in universities are just not that well managed as we thought. The director of admission might have told the person to "send those rejection next week plz", and he/she might just decided to take another 2 days off and pretend haven't seen that. Or, a professor who was asked to make a decision was just busy writing papers and keeps forgetting about it. In short conclusion, it's really the least important thing for them to send a rejection letter to a already rejected student...

TTPB: I agree with you, we are competing for a small number of spots. However I'm a bit confused because I was neither rejected nor waitlisted yet, whereas some people were already rejected or informed of waitlist. Why do you think some students weren't put on a waitlist even though it's likely we are competing for the spots that other students deny?

TTPB: Still waiting here. Well I think we need to have a reasonable expectation. At this point the thing is pretty obvious: we are basically waiting for admitted students' rejection to get into. Who will reject a PhD offer from Berkeley? Most likely it's someone who has better offer at schools like MIT or Caltech. Since those schools are more selective than Berkeley, it's natural that only a very small portion of the admitted students will do that decision - plus, there are tons of people like you and I are competing for this small opening. Anyway... good luck to all people out there still waiting!
