junels Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 So many admission posts of UCB, but I got nothing....... sad...... Same here... I am expecting a rejection letter at this moment... You applied to the Ph.D program or Masters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diasong Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 I got the email as well and I am an international living 6 thousand miles away. I think it is just spam so I would not read to much into this, be it only so that nothing but a good surprise can come of this. Otherwise, as you said, you are facing a rollercoaster of emotions. Lol, sounds like you were interviewed and became worried all of a suuden with this comment (by the way, I was interviewed. 6 of us were, I know that because they uploaded a spreadsheet for us to sign up so I could see all the names. Still no news...) Are you international applicant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolani Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 Are you international applicant? I know that it's not spam. It's what they did 2 years ago with my friend...not that getting the email = getting in, but did you see that someone posted rejection today from michigan? It seems to be their standard(my friend warned me of this email...said I might get one of these...about two weeks ago)...let people know to save that date if they haven't been rejected yet.

Still no news...) I emailed the H professor today. He told me that they made initial offers to international students. I am not sure, by "made", he means already notify the applicants or just purely made. He is also quite honest, telling me I am VERY unlikely to be admitted. Story closed. Move on to the next one.

I haven't received any news after I submitted my application. Definitely I'm not a top candidate thus I think I am out too.  Sadddddd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlingguoguo Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 To those who hasn't heard from NU, including myself, be ready for either good or bad news. They interviewed some international applicants and also told some shortlisted. So, if you didn't hear from them again, like myself, you are either their top candidates or at the end of their shortlist. But I guess I am in the second situation. Good Luck to others. Really~~ I heard nothing from NU and it's already two weeks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolmicky Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Same here... I am expecting a rejection letter at this moment... You applied to the Ph.D program or Masters? I applied to Ph.D program. I've already got the rejection. They sent me an email asked me to check the status online, I kind of knew it was bad news, and yes, it was rejection. I was not too surprised of this result, since I realized that I failed a requirement after I paid the application fee, I called them but they refused to refund me. Today, my friend asked "why didn't you call your credit card company and just cancel the transaction?" I didn't figure out this way......too silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
