I've been wondering the same thing. Last year, it looks like Berkeley notified from Feb. 13-26, so I'm thinking (*hoping*) we haven't heard the last from them. And Stanford didn't email people until Feb. 29, so I don't know what is going on with the interviews. Anybody have any brilliant theories they care to share? Enlighten me, PLEASE!

I concur on the UPenn statement. From a close friend, I know they are top-notch, and regularly send their grads to the top Ph.D. programs (Penn, Stanford, Berkeley -- and those are just the past two years). For the SOP, I would suggest emphasizing that you know you lack the language skills (otherwise why else would you apply to the post-bac), but that you are hoping the post-bac will remedy that problem. I don't know about UCLA or Columbia (I think Georgetown and UNC also do post-bacs), but you can't go wrong with Penn.
