The only thing I got from them is app complete notification.

Same here. At this point I'm quite pessimistic because their "app complete" email said they notify people as they are admitted.

when did they confirm? and just curious are you theory or experimental people? me - strings oriented/international

It was like early Feb. I'm a theorist - phenomenology.

I've seen a few rejections and a few accetptances on the results, but I think that many of us will have to wait in limbo until March 15th. They have said that this is when they will let everyone know by. :? 8 more days. Sigh.

I checked my status on the phone yesterday. You can, i think, check out your own

I got a notification as well. They said they will let out all the results by March 15th.

"Called department to ask status. She told me that I was rejected. Apparently rejections are going out this weekend (approx 3/18)."

So... we're all screwed?

If they're just going to reject us all, why not send them out today??? They're evil.

Weekends/Fridays are better for rejections. Employers often fire people on Friday afternoons so that the employees have a weekend to cool down so that there's less risk they "go postal".

I am rejected undoubtfully. However, there are some people's applications to be discussed tommorrow in the final meeting according to Donna. So, there are sill chances. For those fellows who don't prefer to check status over the phone, cross your fingers and pray that you are in the list of final discussion. Good luck to all!

Does anyone receive the email from Cal Basketball?

Got nothing but the advertisement. :(

Did any international students (i.e. no US degree) get in? I've seen some rejections in the survey, but no acceptances for internationals...

I was told that it is basically impossible for internationals to get in HEP-TH in UCB nowdays. Frankly, I am rather angry about the whole thing - I see no differene between doing so and making easy money by playing 'find the ace' on the street: in both you engage people into bets they have no chance of winning to start with [though the later is ilicit while the former is state-run].

Just got rejection by e-mail. Expected, but still sad.

It's strange that they only accepted 40/770 this year. Last year, according to http://www.gradschoolshopper.com , Berkeley accepted 102/704 which is a rate almost three times higher.

Still, I haven't got any answer from Berkeley.

To JustAnotherGuest,

How did you get the email?

did you ask them your status by email?

I still got nothing from them....

Guest JustAnotherGuest

I sent an e-mail about two weeks ago, but they didn't reply until yesterday.

Has everybody got his status from Berkeley physics by e-mail or

postal service already? Since Berkeley guys had made the decisions

more than one week ago, I guess maybe it's time to receive my

notification from them (probably rejection). Have they sent out the

postal notifications yet? :?: Otherwise, I wonder why it takes that

long for the snail mail from California to be sent to Illinois.

Just feel tired of calling them or e-mailing them to find out. It has

been a frustrating experience for me to recieve many rejections

recently.

Has anyone recieved anything yet? Why don't they just tell people that they're rejected?
