Berkeley applicants — @alliecask @anxiousplanner — results are coming out now (my friend just got theirs), and I really can’t handle this anticipation!!! Wish you all the best!
My heart is RACING!!!!! It feels like it could happen at any minute..

This thread is a great idea -- how are my fellow Berkeley applicants doing? It's my dream school but also a long shot, at this point I just want a decision (good or bad) so I can move on. Anyone else refreshing this thread every 10 minutes? Especially as more results are being posted from other schools.

This was my rough expectation as well, that most schools would release at least the bulk of their decisions by 3/5 (Berkeley for instance said we could reach out to the department if we hadn't heard by then). However, anecdotally, it looks like schools are about a week behind timelines from previous years, so I'm bracing myself to not get more results until the week after that.
It also seems like schools might be releasing acceptances in smaller batches than previous years, which could account for the delay. We saw 3-4 Berkeley acceptances a few weeks ago but it seems like lots of people haven't heard anything from them, and UIC seems to be releasing in small batches as well.
Are you going to contact Berkeley by 3/5 or wait in case they are behind? I'm so anxious because they've released so few decisions but maybe it's just COVID?

if we didn't get any sort of notification by berkeley can we assume waitlist/rejection?
i know they rarely take straight from undergrad but i applied to a concurrent degree program in CED. it was my top choice, so i'm just trying to figure out how to manage my emotions/be able to compartmentalize and move onto the next notification.
Hi! I'm in the same boat for Berkeley admissions & being an undergrad. I read somewhere that this year Berkeley is doing rolling admissions instead of batch admissions (so the "the longer you wait the less likely your chances" idea might not be as accurate this time?) I'm hoping that's the case as well.

I saw three posters receive decisions from Berkeley yesterday, 2/10. If anyone else got a decision, what time were you notified? I know a lot of posters applied to Berkeley and I can barely stand to wait another minute.

The Berkeley rejection hurt but wasn't surprising and I'm just glad the wait is over! What other programs are you all legitimately considering?
