Fall 2024 Design Engineering programs

So basically if we haven’t received an interview call, it is safe to assume we are not getting admitted? 

[janna]

I guess, only people who got interview requests will get admitted! 

[Meg33]

Thank you for your message.

Interviews are ongoing and do not reflect an admissions decision. We will be in touch if the committee requests an interview. Otherwise, admissions decisions are expected to be released in early March.

Let me know if you have any additional questions!

@Meg33 that's a vague response tbh – interviews don't reflect the decision, but do they only admit from the pool of interviewees is the question..

From what I know, last year was one year in which they admitted only from the interview pool. But the rest of the years that wasn’t the case and i know a lot of people who got in without an interview. 

Everything is vague at this point. Fingers crossed and hope we find out some good news next week!

From the GSD: A decision has been posted to the application portal!

[Member0823]

I have been waitlisted.

[budamzy]

I don't see a decision on the portal. I submitted the application slightly late too, I'm worried. 

[skkip]

I have a portal update, and I got in!!!

Anyone who hasn’t received an update - does it mean rejection?

feel like that's the case... sad

@Member0823 I know you're on the waitlist, and I wanted to let you know that I'll most likely decline my offer at Harvard and go to Berkeley. I am also from a CS background, so they should give you the offer logically. I'll reject the offer almost near the deadline, so you should follow up after mid-April if you still want to go to Harvard.

@skkip Thanks for letting me know! It somewhat eases my anxiety as this program is my top choice. Good Luck to you!
