  1. I applied to the MS and called the office to receive an unofficial rejection. My status on the website still says submitted though. Oh well, I was lucky enough to be offered full funding at Stanford which I am taking.
  2. Does anyone else's status still say submitted?
  3. http://www.me.berkeley.edu/StudentAffairs/StudentServicesOffice/yawoakpawu.html
  4. I just talked to the admissions office. They said since I haven't heard by this point it is because I haven't been admitted and I will receive a formal rejection email by the end of the day.
  5. Sounds like just about every one here just applied to for the MS degree (myself included). Did anyone apply to the M.Eng, MS/PhD, or the PhD program?
  6. Does anyone know if schools like Berkeley ever make offers after April 15th? It wouldn't make much sense to me if they do, but then again maybe they assume if you really want to go there you'll wait that long to find out.
  7. Well my last name starts with an "M" so if that is true it looks like they still have a ways to go
  8. I'll be accepting my Stanford offer on Monday assuming I don't hear from Berkeley over the weekend. I think its fair to say we've waited as long as we can.
  9. Yep mine has said that since early dec. Also I know that Berkeley has a strictly enforced enrollment cap. My hunch is that they are at the point where they admit someone every time someone else declines an offer. I've had a really difficult time getting in touch with the office although I did speak with someone on the phone on Thu. I told him I had expressed interest in Energy Science and Technology and he seemed surprised that I hadn't heard anything yet. Then when I gave him my name he informed me my application is still under review.
  10. Hi all. I'm starting this topic so that those applicants who are still waiting to hear from Berkeley can discuss their experience thus far. Please feel free to post below stating which degree you applied for, if you have been in touch with the department at all and what you know (if anything) about when all final decisions will be made.
  11. Sorry to hear that, thanks for letting me know. Best of luck wherever you decide!
  12. Is anyone here still wait to hear from Berkeley. I called yesterday and give them my name and was told my application is still under review. I'm really surprised they still are making decisions this close to the April 15th deadline.
  13. I'm still waiting to hear from Berkeley, although I highly doubt I'll be accepted with funding at this point. Assuming I do get rejected from Berkeley, I'll accept my Stanford offer.
  14. Just to clarify, my funding offer from stanford was independent of GEM. Therefore being named an associate or university fellow would be more of like an honorary thing I guess.
  15. Well I didn't get GEM, but that's ok. This was a pretty confusing process all around but hopefully the people applying next fall for 2015 admission find this thread useful. Best of luck to everyone!
  16. Congrats! JerusalemG! BTW may I know which school you decided to attend?
  17. Me too. I did notice that I had after I selected a school I was planning on attending, within 2 days my status for that school went from "applied" to "willing to sponsor as GEM Fellow" to "Confirmed pending contract receipt". Does anyone know if there is a benefit to being a GEM associate fellow if you already have the funding, like is the reputation around the award noteworthy to employers or anything like that?
  18. Sorry but what exactly does it mean to be a GEM Associate / University Fellow? I guess I was only aware of the scenario where an employer sponsored you.
  19. I called this morning and received no answer. When I called later today, I spoke with a woman and asked about the Friday decision and was told to send a detailed email to info@gemfellowship.org. To 2Naqiy, thanks for the info about Draper - do you mind sharing what your GEM Employer Status says? Thanks!
  20. Just out of curiosity, would there be an opportunity to secure additional funding at Berkeley during the course of your PhD?
  21. Im going to call first thing on monday morning, i'll post if i learn anything new.
  22. Has anyone heard anything, I thought the new deadline to hear was supposed to be March 28th? Also I just clicked on the "planning to attend" link and selected a school even though I am still waiting to here back from UC Berkeley. Does anyone know if that is binding? I just figured maybe it was holding up my application or something. __________________________________________________________________ Accepted: MIT, Stanford, Michigan, UT Austin, Cornell Rejected: Princeton Waiting: UC Berkeley, Northwestern
  23. So just to be clear, the message was in addition to the "Planning to Attend:" line that appears under the list of schools you applied to on the application page?
