Well I have been following this thread for a long time and it's time to say something. One of my friends had got an email from admission officer saying all ads were out by last week. And rejection letters will be sent by the end of March. They also clarified that interviews are no indications of admission at all. I have known people with interview but without admission and vice versa.
I am really depressed that I did not hear anything from them yet since Berkeley is my first choice school and I really like the bay area. I applied to EECS robotics and embedded software concentration which is a 100% match to my undergrad research, my interest and my career goal. I guess there are two reasons for me to be rejected. First I am from the east coast and my undergrad institute is not a large one so that Berkeley officers may not have heard of it. But it's a really good one with high reputation among the industries. Secondly, I am probably just not good enough for the program. I am sure they have got thousands of applications for the M.Eng program and openings are limited to 100 or so. So probably 150-200 admission offers are sent to all applicants.
Congratulations to all those being admitted to Berkeley M.Eng program and you should all be proud of yourselves. I am so sad
