cab120 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Posted February 26, 2016 I applied to LLC and when I contacted admissions 2 days ago, they said they were still making decisions and that I could expect to hear in the coming weeks. Does this mean im actually rejected?
aebh615 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Judging from the past years on the results board, this looks like the Berkeley MO -- anyone who's rejected will likely see "submitted" until March/April, when it's updated to a rejection. It could be a sort of waitlist for second round picks if admitted students decline, but I could also see them just not wanting to put resources into updating rejections until they've taken care of the admitted students. Kind of crappy to be in limbo as a likely rejected applicant, but not surprising based on the volume of applications they receive. 7 hours ago, cab120 said: I applied to LLC and when I contacted admissions 2 days ago, they said they were still making decisions and that I could expect to hear in the coming weeks. Does this mean im actually rejected? I wouldn't be surprised if this is the standard response from the admissions office. You'd likely get better information contacting a POI directly.

Some of the programs I applied to made it very clear that all PhD candidates are completely funded for a specific amount of years, but I'm having trouble finding that on Berkeley's website. @CIShopeful - I wouldn't count on it: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/02/11/berkeley-announces-major-strategic-planning-process-address-long-term-budget-issues I was really hoping for an acceptance here to use as leverage for funding at a slightly lower ranked program; it would take a miracle fellowship to make Berkeley a feasible choice for me financially.

I emailed admissions after seeing all of the results postings about POME offers already having been extended Their response: "the review process is currently underway and decisions have not been sent out to HDE applicants. We're fortunate to have so many qualified applications so we appreciate your patience at this time. Decisions are expected between March and April. "

I wished they'd just tell me ALREADY

The open house for doctoral students is actually next week, March 6th and 7th. Did you attend the open house? Was it for all of the programs combined?
Songbird222 Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 I'll be attending UC Berkeley in the GSE this Fall, in the SESAME program. Would love to connect with those of you who've decided to attend!
