MechE Waiting on Berkeley

[JerusalemG]

I just talked to the admissions office. They said since I haven't heard by this point it is because I haven't been admitted and I will receive a formal rejection email by the end of the day.

Can I ask which phone number you were calling? I tried the mechanical dept. as well as the grad admission office but both were answering machines.

No it still says submitted

[JerusalemG]

Does anyone else's status still say submitted?

[Sangin Park]

My status says still submitted, but I don't expect that Berkeley give me an accept offer. Just I'm waiting reject notification.

Dear group,

 

Please post your reponses for the benefit of future aspirants..

 

Today I received "Reject" by email.  The email suggested me to check the website for decision citing privacy concerns.  It is true that if you did not hear this long.. the decision is clearly embossed on the wall --- "Rejected !".

Has anyone who applied to MS program got notified today?

[yangq3]

Is there anyone who is applying for the MS only degree? I am applying the MS only (plan II) program. And I noticed that some of the rejections are received today by those who applied MS/phd program. 

 

PS: To date, I haven't heard anything regarding my decision yet. Am I ignored? 

[JerusalemG]

I applied to the MS and called the office to receive an unofficial rejection. My status on the website still says submitted though. Oh well, I was lucky enough to be offered full funding at Stanford which I am taking.

Good for you. If I were you, I would not care about UCB at all.

[mahesh227]

I applied for the ms program. Yangq3 call the graduate office, they will ask your full name and tell you the decision instantly.

I called the general graduate admission office and the secretary told me since my status is still 'submitted', my app is still under review. Then I called the guy named Yawo Dagbevi Akpawu, and he told me to wait for the email at the end of the day and then hung up.

[mahesh227]

oh ok. I called Yawo twice and it went to voice mail. Finally I called a woman named Isabel, she asked me my name and last name and gave me the decision right away.

Hi everyone waiting for Berkeley MechE for Fall 2015. Please post any info that you may have gotten about admission results/decisions.

[Grad_Ibrahim]

I doubt they sent all rejections, only few posts at TGC, I expect the rejection hammer to continue later today.

[berk1]

I applied for the MS/PHD program. Still haven't heard back. I called a couple weeks ago and they said I should hear back "soon", early April at the latest. Not sure what it means that I haven't heard back yet but its probably not good news?

[crossing]

I too applied for MS/PhD and haven't heard back yet.
