Berkeley EECS 2014

[complexbongo]

According to last year's results, acceptances should be going out on Friday (tomorrow) this week. 

 

I'm starting this thread if anyone has any additional information they want to share about Berkeley's EECS admissions process. 

 

It looks like a few acceptances have been posted, but not too much information is out there. 

 

Good luck to everyone!

Last year's visit was March 10. Anyone know if no interview implies rejection?

I don't think so. I interviewed in early january and my POI said this year's extremely competitive. Whatever that means i'm anxiously waiting for an answer

I received an acceptance email on Tuesday evening. I had a couple of interviews in January but I haven't spoken to any faculty since.

Hey guys any more news regarding CS @ Berkeley. I have seen around 5~6 acceptances on 7 Feb. I was wondering if thats it or u guys are still hoping for the acceptance to arrive this week.

I believe most of those are for EE rather than CS. Hopefully more to come

Hey there.  I was recently accepted.  Electrical Engineering (Photonics).  Here's how it went:

 

1. Email January 14th from a faculty on the admissions board asking for a Skype interview

2. Accepted via email on February 5th

3. Email on February 6th with details / nomination for university fellowship

 

Here's info on visit days:

We invite you to meet with our faculty and students, as well as to explore our unique city on the San Francisco Bay during our visit days for prospective graduate students (Sunday, March 16, 9:30 am – Monday, March 17, 9 pm). Since we will be starting on Sunday morning, we invite you to arrive the evening of Saturday, March 15. More information about the visit days will be emailed soon.

 

I hope that helps!
