On Berkeley's site, it indicates between February and April. I'm not sure when UC Davis (or other UCs) begins reviewing.

I'm such a newbie to this site. I found out a new trick (that you may or may not already know). You can go to the "Results Survey" section and search for the school name/program to get an idea as to when decisions were made in previous years. That should help.

I applied to the same program. No, I haven't heard from them. Could you please post here when you hear from them? I will do the same.
I am incredibly nervous, as this is one of my top choices. Good luck us!

Good to know, Sapoverde! Decisions were made around early March last year. I wonder if they are making decisions earlier this year.

It seems Berkeley notifies earlier to the accepted applicants (Jan or Feb) and later to the rejected ones (March). Check the results from previous years.

According to their website, decisions are not made until late Feb...

I do hope they come sooner. I'm so tired of waiting.
