How are you coping with the Berkeley wait?

Congrats to those who got in!! Does anyone remember how long between UR and the decision? I completed 12/4, UR since 12/21

I'm still waiting, too (my dates are pretty much the same as yours) but from what I've seen on the spreadsheet it looks like most people so far have heard back just over a month after they went complete, with some as the cycle has gone on hearing back closer to a month after going UR.

I've been UR since 11/21, so, that's probably not a great sign.

Same here. Not getting outright dinged is the goal for me at this point.

I'm also UR in early November, but there's still plenty of time left in the cycle!

Yeah I mean it might not be a sign of outright acceptance, but it could definitely be a faculty review!

I submitted my application on Tuesday and have not yet received an email saying my application is complete. All the other schools have already responded within maximum two days of submission, so I'm wondering if I should contact the admissions office and ask whether they received it. Did anyone wait more than the usual day or two to hear back from Berkeley after submitting?

Some people have waited a week before going complete.

Oh, I'll hold off on contacting them then. Thank you!

Did you get any email from them at all? They're probably backlogged from the holiday, but for me at least, I submitted my app late at night on a Thursday, that Friday they sent me an email saying they received it with a link to the status checker (which said "we have received your application") and then on Monday I checked the status checker again and it had changed to "Your file is complete." They did not email me for going complete.

Oh strange, no I didn't get any email at all. Looks like I'm going to have to email them - thinking of waiting until Monday.

More or less the same situation as you, wellitsover (I didn't submit on the same day as you but close to it). I've received an "application received" email from literally every other school I'm applying to (and there are many).

I'm not too worried though - on their website it says they send out the emails containing status checker usernames and passwords in batches, and that it could take up to two weeks.

Yeah I would check my spam and wait.


On an unrelated note, has anyone who was admitted only received an email and no call, or has everyone received calls?

I received the call first then the email like 2 weeks later but I think it was because of the holiday

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
