Berkeley has also diluted their applicant pool with the extended deadline. No hard feelings to the later applicants but it's definitely not great news for earlier applicants in terms of scholarship and admission chances. Don't risk your scholarship applications! This whole mess has been hugely unprofessional on Berkeley's part I have been considering columbia too but as an international student the duration of the course and high tuition fees for a non stem course feels like a risky move Mackmack and pinki 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradSchool2222 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Anybody have some fun ideas of how to distract yourself from this? Feels like it was going so well until “early March” began and now it’s just like this omnipresent anxiety. Wondering how many spam calls this group has collectively answered over the course of the past two weeks. Anywhoooo plz feel free to share your fun and distracting activities! Here are a few of mine: being active in some way; listening to the Normal Gossip podcast; gathering with people to prevent myself from anxiously checking my email & this forum lol. Share your ideas!

GradKat Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Honestly just finding this forum and knowing I'm not alone has been really helpful. I've been trying to block out time to read to keep my eye off my phone. I've also tried to convince myself that being interviewed itself is a huge honor. Regardless of what happens today or next week, I really hope to see all of us doing great journalism. kate789, Tes12 and pinki 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinki Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Yeah, i think i just really need a win after the last couple of years. And i think we all pay too much attention to what institutions think of us anyway. In all likelihood, it's the not knowing that really makes it sting. But I haven't been doing a good job of distracting myself, scholarship deadlines are looming and i'm up at 2:00 am filling them up. Otherwise I tend to daydream, so i don't really have the best insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting extremely frustrating for me to, my anxiety has increased like ten folds lol. I had emailed them in the beginning of month and they had responded that they will be releasing the decisions mid march. I have been refraining from mailing them again but I am thinking if they don't release it tonight I might as well. Atleast they could have updated us on the possible dates..

GradSchool2222 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Anyone have any info on rejections? Or waitlists? I still haven’t heard a word and am wondering if they’re still calling people or if anyone has gotten rejected yet and what format those typically come in (mail, email?). Would rather just know! It’s been a long wait and it sucks for them to make us wait longer if we are just going to get rejected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham4hamm Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know when we will be getting the official letter? I heard it was sometime next week, so I'm assuming Monday, but perhaps they could be sending them out tomorrow because someone mentioned we'll be getting them at the end of this week?

Mackmack Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 In my voicemail, it said "within a week." I wouldn't be surprised if it was tomorrow or Monday. No updates to the portal yet. I'm so sorry to hear that they're still leaving some people in the dark, thats really frustrating and not ok ham4hamm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
