VivaldisCat Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 No one yet has heard from either UPenn or Berkeley? I see some UPenn results posted, as well as BU, but I haven't got any word yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schroedingersmeerkat Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Alright, I've made some calls recently and here's what I've found out about various programs: Berkeley: The person I talked to today said the department has just given her the go-ahead to start sending out emails. There are hundreds so they will be going out in the next couple days. Side note: this is 2012...shouldn't this process be automated by now? Boston University: The person I got ahold of last week said that, due to a family emergency, the head of their admissions committe had to leave the country for an unspecified amount of time. The admissions decisions must wait for their return. Colorado Mines: Their deadline for notifying accepted students is April 15. So, expect a decision by then. mak93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomahok Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 i kinda dont believe what berkeley said cause she told me the same thing 2 weeks ago and still nothing... though dont care anymore, made my choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaldisCat Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks schroedingersmeerkat, that was heaps useful. I heard from BU about admission, but they said financial aid decisions are yet to be made. A bit late for a school like Berkeley don't you think? I wish we had something to go on UPenn as well, they just send the same response everytime that they are still waiting on their first round admits to respond...

lkh5650 Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) So you got BU? congrats if thats the case! yeah i am not sure what is happening. I will take Berkeley or upenn over UCSD in a heartbeat did you guys see the survey posted about upenn? I hope that's not true Edited April 10, 2012 by lkh5650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaldisCat Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks! It all depends on funding though.. and it was my safety... I hope UPenn is not true too :-( my dream school. But if Berkeley is mailing out enmasse, those are mostly rejects, sorry to be a raincloud :'( But hey! UCSD is up there, I wouldn't worry if I were you!

Pauli Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 This thread is so depressing. Why do people sound like it's such a big deal to get rejected from applying to highly competitive universities? There's nothing wrong with apply to less "name" schools whose programs are just as strong but aren't as well known to laypersons. mak93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkh5650 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Share Posted April 15, 2012 I still haven't received any results from UPenn or Georgia Tech... I will have to accept my offer at UCSD!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mak93 Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Congrats lkh5650! I still haven't heard from Colorado School of Mines, but someone said their decision deadline was the 15th lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mak93 Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I already have a job offer, but I followed up with Colorado School of Mines and they said that all pending applications were forwarded to the review committee members to inquire about decisions. They graduate admissions coordinator has not heard back, and couldn't provide a decision date for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VivaldisCat Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Boston U has a similar explanation for delayed response... Not a good year all-in-all, I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mak93 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 It appears CSM has just left all of their unaccepted applications open. I'm not waiting on it, I'd just like some closure haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
