Hello, I just spoke with the UC Davis admissions office lady on the phone (she was v nice). She said the papers are being forward to the department dean/director (sorry I don't remember the exact name of the position) - the person who makes the final review and decisions right now. We should be expecting to hear back if not by the end of this week, then next week. I know, sorry, this was not very helpful - as the end result is that we still need to wait... But hey! At least it's not like the office has completely forgotten our application already and are actually trying to make decisions :)) (note: she said the date on their site is a rough reference of what normal expectations are…it's taking a bit long then usual this year - I figured this can also be helpful post for future applicants to reference)
