Thank you! After 22 years of living here, I'm out hahaha. All jokes aside though, it is a great program with very cool research going on, I wish the best of luck to you. The email I received went as follows "Your application has been received and carefully reviewed. We regret to inform you that we are not able to extend an offer of admission. Please be aware that the applications for admission this year are particularly strong, and we have been unable to welcome all of our promising candidates for admission." Soo yea, very generic hahaha.

I was the one with the rejection, just got the email 30 minutes ago. I only applied in case I wanted to stay local, looks like I'm moving now .

Thank you so much!!

Just got my first invite from University of Colorado at Boulder! Soooo pumped.

I'm doing the same exact thing! Hahaha. My whole family is in New York so I applied to a bunch of schools across the country but I mostly want to go to Cali lol. It doesn't help that my girlfriend sees this as a relocation opportunity and wants to live in Cali so she's been in my ear a little about that lol.

Thank you for the encouragement, it is much appreciated in this time. I know a lot of my schools typically send invites out in January but it's still an anxiety provoking period of time. I'll try to stay positive .

Well it would certainly suck if they were done and I have noticed that schools follow the trends that they set in previous years but if you end up calling and hearing otherwise, definitely post it on here. I would love to know.

I'm right there with you and it sucks. I haven't heard a peep and I thought I would have gotten at least one by now. Definitely takes a shot at your self-esteem.

Just curious because Berkeley was one of my top schools, how do you know they sent out all of their invites? I'd be pretty bummed if this is true.

I too and waiting to hear from Irvine and I also had an unbelievably unpleasant interaction with the INP coordinator. After having an argument with him due to him being extremely rude I contacted the head of the department and informed her. She didn't seem surprised or frazzled but she did say that my application would be reviewed and my argument did not affect my status. I was informed that the committee would receive all application last Friday, 12/12.

Congrats on the interviews! That's awesome! I saw a bunch of Berkeley invites go out but historically they don't send them out this early, it was really worrying me. Oh well, hopefully they keep them coming or do another round.

I see that UC Berkeley sent out some invites, does anyone want to claim those interviews? Does anyone know if they are done with sending out invites?

Hahaha, it's so bad because I check at around 9 a.m. even though I am aware that even east coast schools won't have done anything yet, and then I just say to myself, "they're probably still sleeping.....they should get up and e-mail me." hahaha

Good Luck M.! Since I need to hear back from a lot of Cali schools and I'm on the east coast I keep looking at the clock and subtracting three hours and trying to figure out what time during the day they'll send out e-mails lol.

I've been wondering the same thing but after going through the past interview invite dates, they historically send out invites this week. Hopefully we'll start hearing from them soon.
