Graduate School Admission Results

Strange timing to release decision but I'm in shock but I'm sooo happy.

Is Berkeley done choosing EECS PhD students?

@below Your friend got into the EECS PhD Program today?

TTPB: I applied to the 2-year Masters's program as well. Haven't heard back anything yet.

stipend 36.5k/year. GSR position. Have until August to decide on faculty advisor.

TTLPB: I agree with you. Applying to grad school, especially top ones, could be very frustrating. I am grateful to have such a place where we can see results in live-action as well as those from previous years. Certainly better than waiting for responses blindly. Grad Admission Committees sometimes hold rejection letters to the very last minute and it does not feel great from the perspective of applicants. The least we could do, as applicants, is to try to work together and provide accurate information for each other.

@below, because posting that you got rejected on a day when you haven't yet (and perhaps will be placed on a waitlist) defeats the purpose of posting in the first place. This website exists for anonymous posters to give information to future applicants (including the day that said rejections/acceptances/waitlists/interview requests actually come out!) not for individuals like yourself to show everyone that you have "given up hope" - no one even knows who you are... this site is anonymous! (I didn't apply to Berkeley and have no "false hope", it just sort of bugs me when people do this. I hope this does not come off as angry, just trying to voice my opinion)

@below If someone hasn't gotten an email the 3rd-5th they are rejected as noted by several others on here. Why hold false hope?

Posting rejected before officially finding out is rather silly @below, even if nearly certain

I agree with the last guy, if we haven't received anything we were rejected.

Chem and CompSci double major. Diverse research experience. Fellowship and GSR position in the offer letter.

Email from the committee. Area: AI / Theory. One informal interview.

TTPB: Most universities send acceptance in batches. Top universities like Berkeley, MIT, etc., in past, usually have only one batch. If you miss out on that batch, chances are pretty low to get an acceptance.

What's this about people saying if you haven't heard back you are rejected? Is this real, or just a bunch of people worrying? Same question regarding MIT and Stanford. First time on this website.
