Berkeley PhD Computer Science

Hi!

Based on last's year results, if I don't get an interview this week with Berkeley CS, it's probably like an unofficial rejection.

I'd be overjoyed for just an interview, but life goes on.  :-)

Are interviews mandatory for acceptance at Berkeley EECS's PhD program? I also have not received an interview request; I hope that does not mean a rejection

If you look at last year's results, interviews went out on Jan 18 and 19 (mostly), acceptances went out on Jan 27 and 28 (mostly), and rejections went out on Feb 18 and Feb 19 (mostly).

Could be different this year, so draw your own conclusions.  :-)

According to the number of interview reports last year, it is hard to deny that UCB does interview every strong candidate. It is also mentioned by most of the accepted applicants that they were interviewed by POI

However there is 1 (one) instance of acceptance by UCB CS theory group which claims that no interview was conducted. So it might be possible, the chance is really slim, though.

Anyone get an interview or hear back from Control, Intelligent Systems, and Robotics (CIR)?

I'm also wondering, did anyone get an interview in the Integrated Circuits area?

Does anyone have any idea when the results will be out?

When I interviewed, the professor said one or two months, nothing concrete

You are talking about Berkeley EECS, right? When was your interview?
