Hello all! I wanted to set up this post to see if there’s anybody who has also applied to FLAS at Berkeley (or anywhere else in general) and create a space for us to chat about anything we’ve heard. For me, it’s definitely contingent on attending Berkeley, so just wondering if anybody else has applied at Berkeley or other places. Does anybody generally know how many people they award the fellowship to?

Just wanted to update: Berkeley is likely starting admitting people, I just got the call for recommendation for admission!

Just posting to say Berkeley is starting to call applicants on admissions, just got the call and was reccommended for approval!!

Super interesting (and takes pressure off lol) I also heard that we all could start hearing decisions possibly by early March, so close!!

Just updating here: had my interview today, 20 mins, and it went well! There was some technical difficulties and I only interviewed with one person after a little but they were nice! Crossing my fingers! I heard things are going out early March.

@doe123 Mine is tomorrow! And definitely doing the documentary track. Glad to hear it went well! I'll definitely let you know how mine goes tomorrow!

How did it go, @doe123?!

@doe123 Mine is Wednesday!

*Also wondering how long your interviews are, forgot to mention that*

Trying to keep up with all the different threads lol but I have an interview next week and didn't hear about a writing test! Wishing everybody good luck in their interviews. Also for people with Berkeley, how long is your interview supposed to be?

@xxjdv Just saw this! I also have an interview next week! Best of luck to you and everyone having an interview!

Just found this thread! @doe123 I have my interview next week for documentary too with two professors. Just wanted to see if there was anybody else who has found out more info. I would assume we would be interviewing with professors/faculty who will be our instructors/in our field?

@ladymjane Nice, would love to hear what to expect too! I've been told it may be informal and to get to know you! But am scouring old interview posts to see what to expect!

@doe123 @Zb17 I definitely think by this point next week at least interviews will definitely be going out! Have either of you heard anything yet? I heard the process is delayed so that definitely takes some stress off.
