I think Cal and Columbia have approx same size of intake. (I think Columbia intake is even smaller. One of my friends who gets in this year said they take less than 10 ppl. Berkeley normal intake is about 10-12.) I got in Berkeley but rejected by Columbia as well... so is another of my friends....

Anyone heard from ESD PHD program?

mostly the same as what I heard. Even you got a chance to work with a professor, they MAY pay for your tuitions. And most GSI/Readers find their job AFTER they arrive at campus. (Strangely I know people from other departments receiving full support working as a TA. Maybe it is just IEOR....sigh....)

That is true, sadly. Hope the situation is getting better this year, but I don't think so:(

just received the campus vist invitation from Berkeley IEOR. The email said "The Department of IEOR is recommending you at the Graduate Division for admission to our program." no words on funding. I suppose I am admitted to MS/PHD program (the one I applied to). Anyone else got the same news?
