Dr._Robotnik's_Shadow Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Has anyone applied for the rhetoric program at UC Berkeley? I am from China and has submitted my application for the 10fall semester. So far, no feedback or information. Anyone, would like to share? Many thanks! I applied for a PhD in Rhetoric (film track). I've heard nothing yet. I think something will come in the mail around mid-late February according to last years results posted right here on the gradcafe.

smilingface Posted January 23, 2010 Author Posted January 23, 2010 It seems that the results would be released in a week. Keeping my fingers crossed for all of us!
downtownchick Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Have just seen somebody post acceptance on result page. I think I'm off. Oh well.
sometimesiexist Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 Have just seen somebody post acceptance on result page. I think I'm off. Oh well. Out of curiosity Jan 20 seems kind of early, can anyone verify it?
kfed2020 Posted January 29, 2010 Posted January 29, 2010 A friend in the program says the faculty called their admits last week. Good luck everyone!
vertige Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Yes, I'll vouch for that - a friend of mine in Rhetoric at Berkeley told me yesterday afternoon that they had called their admits last week, quite early this year. Best of luck with everything guys - I haven't gotten any word either way yet for my apps (Brown and Yale German)!
cleisthenes Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 so should we extrapolate from the fact that some people have been called that this concludes their first round of admits?
vertige Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) There's certainly the possibility of a short list of alternates, but I'd assume rejection at this point if you haven't heard anything. Applicants were notified last Thursday by phone. Edited January 30, 2010 by bnibs
Bardolater Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 There's certainly the possibility of a short list of alternates, but I'd assume rejection at this point if you haven't heard anything. Applicants were notified last Thursday by phone. Is this just for Rhetoric? What about English?
vertige Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Is this just for Rhetoric? What about English? Rhetoric
cleisthenes Posted January 31, 2010 Posted January 31, 2010 bnips - did your friend have anything to add about statistics? how many admits vs how many applicants? this is sad.
greenpointgrad Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I'm assuming this is for the Film track too. ughh.
Cinemaaa Posted February 5, 2010 Posted February 5, 2010 Just got an email of admission to the Film Track in Rhetoric. They're going to be flying admits out the beginning of March. Wishing everyone good luck with this one...a tough dept.
EcceQuamBonum Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I didn't really feel like starting a whole new topic just to ask this question, so I thought I would just post it in a Berkeley thread, even though it pertains to the English program. It may be in bad form to ask this, but I've noticed a whole helluva lot of people who have been rejected at Berkeley mentioning in the results thread that the rejection letter they received was particularly tactless. I'm just terribly curious to know how bad it can be to prompt that many people to note in their results posting how bad the Berkeley rejection letter was. Anyone who's not too sore about the whole thing want to enlighten me?
