Usually the admissions coordinator of department of interest. Phone numbers and emails of those are usually posted online on university's (or department's) website.

I called them two days ago and last week too, the guy said applications are still in review and not all acceptances were sent out and they hope to send out all decisions by the end of next week.

I have it too! Apparently it doesn't mean anything :-| Here is what I found in results section on Stanford (though different program): "OFFICIAL DOcu*ENT REQUESTs" To the Mechanical Engineering post below, RELAX. It's really just a CollegeNET glitch to allow FUTURE applicants (2018?) to order official foreigh transcripts and have them authenticated in one shot. Here's a confirmation Email I got from the Admission office: "Dear Applicant, You may have noticed that CollegeNET recently updated the application system to allow an applicant to order official electronic transcripts and/or certification letters through their application system. At this time, no action is required of you. All applications are reviewed regardless of checklist status. We will contact you if any final credentials have not yet been received." So, RELAX and forget about this fake Official Docu*ent issue. Hope this closes this discussion. Good Luck in your application.

And also one more question, does anyone know what is that "Initiate Document Request" is at Stanford Activity page for admissions? Does everyone (accepted or no decision yet) see it? Are we supposed to request the document service (it also costs around 167 USD :-/) As for my background, I am applying for Chemistry (Materials) PhD and I am an international student. My GPA is 3.69 for undergraduate (US) and I am currently pursuing Master's (US). My GRE scores are 158, 161, 4.0. Applied to: UCSB - accepted UCLA - accepted UC Davis - waiting UC Berkeley - waiting Stanford - waiting UC Irvine - waiting

For UC Berkeley, I emailed the coordinator yesterday asking if all decisions were sent out and what my application status is, here is his reply (today, Feb 2): Indeed, applications continue to be in progress. As the selection committee continues to review applications, we anticipate that selections should be finalized by or before the end of February. Not sure if he is saying so that I don't email him again until the end of Feb! End of Feb I feel is a bit too late to notify considering that visitation weekends are a week or so after end of Feb. Does UC Berkeley do waitlists?

UCSB - January 27

Does anyone know if Stanford and Berkeley are still sending out acceptances? Those who got accepted, could you guys share what the deadline is to respond about the visitation weekend?
