supertazon Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Me too (applying for BioE). However, I know someone from my university who already got admitted on Friday two weeks ago. He was also offered a funding of 20,000 $. I am guessing rejections are coming... I also sent them an e-mail (no response) and tried to call the graduate admissions office but never got an answer (voicemail). Sorry for the bad news...
symptl Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I am not giving up hope just yet. Their email address has been unresponsive since before the application deadline, and it seems like the merit fellowship recipients have been admitted first. It may be possible that although the fellowships have been awarded, some seats (without merit grants) are still under review. Though considering it is Berkeley, statistically it's much more likely than not that an applicant will be rejected. Does anyone have backups they're happy about? I'll be accepting UCSD's M.Eng in BioE offer if this doesn't go through.
Huntsman Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 I also think it is likely rejection at this point, but there is still a chance! I have been accepted at, and will likely attend, Duke for an MS in Bioengineering, and UT-Austin for an MS in EE with a biomedical focus. I have always imagined myself getting an MS rather than a M.Eng, the fact that this program was at Berkeley was the only reason I even considered the M.Eng option. I am still hopeful for an admit, but I have to say it would have to be a pretty sweet offer at this point for me to say no to Duke or Texas...
symptl Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 @ Hunstman: Congrats on the admits. It seems like you'll be in a great position regardless of what happens here. I was actually going to apply to Duke for an M.S. but I decided against it.
Huntsman Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I got my official notice of rejection just a minute ago. Now I just need to hear from three last schools so that I can likely make my decision on Duke or UT. I feel like these decisions are all very late in coming. Duke and Texas were my top two choices and I am pretty sure I will attend one of them, but I still need to have heard back from all applications so I know that I am making a fully informed decision. Good luck to those who still haven't heard! I hope it turns out better for you guys!
