I have applied to CMU, MIT, Stanford and Princeton as well, for a statistical machine learning PhD. I have already been admitted to CMU with a full fellowship, but Berkeley is my top choice and that's why I'm worried. Thanks for giving me hope! I hope I will hear good news from UCB on Monday as you suggest I might!
Thanks Nick. It is strange because in the phone the professor sounded very positive and he also said he believed Berkeley would be a good fit for me...and I guess he wouldn't have said that I would hear back in about two weeks if it was for a rejection since those are sent out much later...what do you think?
I had an interview on the 13th of January and the professor told me that I would hear back in about two weeks or a little more. I haven't heard back anything yet...Should I email him? Thanks!
