I received an email from an admissions person at Berkeley a little over 2 weeks ago letting me know that I was accepted to their joint PhD in Special Education with SFSU. They said official letters with funding offers are delayed and I still haven’t gotten mine.

Got my rejection from UCSD at midnight last night.

Congrats!!
 

Today I received email to check portal, I was admitted to UC Riverside's Education Studies Ph.D so I'm stoked.
I went to the UCSB Admit Day on Tuesday to visit campus and meet advisor, etc. 
I'm hoping to see if UCR will have a similar event. 
Still have not heard from UCI, UCSD, or UCD.

For UCI, my interview was informal and the professor I spoke to basically said she had to decide how much my research interests could help her in her research (that is what I took from the conversation). That was early January and there was no follow up after, so I am not really holding out hope for that one anymore.
I was admitted to UCSB and Berkeley, and those fit my interests better than UCI anyway.

Congratulations!! And tysm for sharing your other updates!

I found out today I was admitted to UCSB!! I interviewed about three weeks ago and heard directly from the POI today.
Here is what I have so far:
UC Berkeley: I have spoken with 2 faculty members, the director of the program I applied to, and 2 students (all informally). This is for the joint program in Special Education with SFSU.
Stanford: Nothing (I applied for CTE Math and the Leadership for Systemwide Inclusive Education Training Program)
UCLA: An email in January saying that candidates chosen to interview would hear back by end of January. I did not get an invite, so I am assuming that's a "no." This is for the HDP concentration.
UC Irvine: I had an informal interview with a POI nearly a month ago.
UCSD: Nothing

I think February 10 but I might be wrong! 
 
I wonder if people who have not had any interviews would still have a chance. I also applied for CTE and haven't heard back.

Congrats!!
would you mind sharing which concentration?
I applied to many of the same places and have also heard nothing. I did have an informal interview with my POI at UCSB over two weeks ago.

I'm stoked - this morning I received an email from POI saying I secured admission to the PhD program at UCSB. Mentioned full details and official admit letter to be coming soon. They wanted to also let me know there is an Admit Day for Feb 21st. Planning to go to that of course, but since this is my like, first time experiencing any of this I have no idea what to expect or ask about lol
Any of you have an idea of what one should do next? I'm super excited!
I still haven't heard from any of the other universities I applied to (UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Riverside, and UC San Diego). Should I be emailing them too just to be like, "Hey.... I've gotten acceptance from UCSB, are you all doing anything?" or if I should just wait it out or what. 
I don't even know how to reply to the POI yet without coming off hysterically excited with a million "!!"'s lol 

Really hoping for the best outcome for everyone else as well! ❤️ 

Most definitely! Please keep us updated. I applied to a few of the same Ph.D. programs that you did. I'm unsure if we applied to the same concentrations, but it's nice to have some common schools and departments with other people so you don't feel like you're swimming out at sea on your own without a floatie. 

I applied to UCSB, UC Irvine, UCLA (HDP), UCSD, Berkeley (Joint program in SpEd with SFSU) and Stanford (CTE Math).
I had informal discussions with UCSB, UC Irvine and Berkeley in the past few weeks but heard nothing since. No contact from other programs, still waiting it out

I hear you, but I do know that Stanford GSE has been known to make decisions without interviews. Hopefully a good thing for you, but anxiety is understandable. Good luck
