ERG MA or MS @ Berkeley - Decisions

Re: Energy & Resources Group at UC Berkeley

 

On the ERG website it says that admissions decisions will be sent March 1, 2015.

 

I have not heard a thing! WOMP.

 

Have others heard? Is this because I applied to the dual Goldman School MPP & the ERG MA and Goldman still has not released its decisions?

Same here, dual MPP/MA, and heard nothing yet. I guess decisions will be released really soon, best of luck!

Hi! 

 

I can only speak for the PhDs (although I'm pretty sure it applies to MA/MS candidates as well): short-listed candidates were contacted at the end of January. Unofficial decisions went out two weeks later, and official admissions came out last week. I'm not sure what it means if you haven't heard back.. it might be that you're waitlisted for the dual MPP/MA, or that the decisions really haven't been put out yet. I'm not sure. The prospective students' weekend for the entire UCB graduate school is coming up really soon, though.

 Thanks @blendercoffee for the information! Not suprised at all as I'm only a college senior applicant with limited working experierence, it‘s a long shot for me anyway. Congrats to those who get in!

So I heard - I got in to Goldman's MPP but not the ERG MA. No surprise, ERG is tough and I was definitely more a fit for the MPP. 

 

Still, there is always next year! I heard that ERG accepted two current Goldman students among the admit class this year

 

Thanks for the feedback!

@anthropocentaur - congratulations!! Berkeley's MPP program is fantastic! 

 

Maybe I'll see you around. Good luck re: ERG next year if you find yourself applying

Congrats! Mind sharing time and date of email? Funding? No funding?
