To whomever it may concern: I know a visiting scholar at Columbia and he notified me last week that the admissions committee hadn't starting looking at applications yet. I'm assuming they started sometime last week after we talked. I personally didn't apply there but thought I'd pass along the info!
Berkeley admits need to speak up! I've heard back and gotten into my other two schools, I just want to get a rejection so I can start thinking about my decision. It looks like today might be a big red day...
I was conversing with my POI until late December, when I thought I should lay off on the questions in time for adcomms to start looking at applications. It's been pretty silent in the results page, already heard back from Davis; to get a result from Berkeley would be great!
