I don't know if this sounds horrid, but I've heard that you guys hardly accept any international students I'd just like to know if this is true also I'd like to know if waitlisters are often taken in? and when they email us if we are on the waitlist, will they tell us our position? sorry if this is asking too much. am just really eager to get in

ok. I owe you my life. I can't express how grateful I am for this information -- and how much I want to get in. I really want to get into Berkeley, but if I can't then....... but I am very, very, very grateful for the info *hug*

thanks so much -- but all students are now funded? so you can confirm that not all acceptances have been sent out yet???

lisajay: I just must say that I teach and I think you're fucking awesome to be managing this all at the same time. I can't imagine doing the same. You are incredibly capable.

you think they have a larger cohort? because one thing I am only too conscious of is that GC doesn't house ALL acceptances and rejections -- and I just think that probably they've sent all if not all of the acceptances already -- for every 1 acceptance posted here I assume 5 others sent out that have not been posted on the results page berkeley has made me lose control of grammar. way to go.

ok I'm so calling them tomorrow the least they can do for me is to confirm the rejection for me so my POI and I know for sure

I already have an MA.................................

my commiserations. I'm suffering for all of us -- and even worse -- for my POI there -- who actually sounds like he's as nervous and miserable as any of us which kinda makes me feel worse. he shouldn't be feeling bad on my behalf

I just wailed to my Berkeley POI and he said it's ok, we can work together even if I go to another school. He'll still help with my work. He's so sweet

thanks. I'm afraid I'm not too optimistic myself though, and have opted for wine. I have to work tomorrow but I'm actually wishing to just pass out and not return. I can't imagine myself carrying on like this for an extended period of time. It's entirely possible however that I'm not built (or destined) for scholarship. how am I going to celebrate chinese new year? I want to run into a corner and hide and never come back.

can one drop below 0% confidence? I'm now 100% confident of rejection. The worst thing is, I don't even get to feel 'why did I feel they'd accept me and why did I apply'. I know why I applied and I know what I really want to work on. Just I won't get to work on it.

I'm totally zero confidence on acceptances now and I am trynig not to cry at work

does this mean I'm screwed for berkeley too??

here. I am assuming the other schools don't want me after 1 rejection too.

rejection from alberta. whee.

annnddd the Berkeley POI tells me Berkeley has made its decisions, but refuse to tell him. We should hear from them in a week.

I just sent a pleading email to the Berkeley POI asking him to end the agony, more or less and tell me all my rejections at once

well, now for the rest to just reject me [i am the new alberta rejection btw]

WHEE! rejection from alberta! now just waiting for everyone else

8am in Berkeley. I am waiting for a possible rejection just make it quick guys

ugh. I am sitting here trying to calm down listening to Paranoid Android >_<

'red wine and sleeping pills... ' :unsure: :unsure:

omg there's an alberta acceptance on the board. Who's gonna claim it??
