Those are far out. January/February.

Edit: We also need some optimism here pal. You've got this.

Also, should I try to call back just to say thanks etc? or is that awkward?
I called back! Dean Tom was so nice and I probably just sounded so excited/weird on the phone but he was happy to hear from me haha.

that sounds great, I think I'll try calling back too, thanks!

Those that have heard back, how long ago did you go UR? Trying to figure out if I have any chance of hearing today/soon or if there's no chance that happens

In about an hour ago. UR since 10/12 I think. Whatever day they first started reviewing.

Same. I applied the first day and went UR 10/12.

'gratz to all the peeps who were accepted! So jelly I should change my name to smuckers.

Just out of curiosity: did your status checkers change at all?

hammocklv06 · Post by **hammocklv06** » Mon Nov 16, 2015 5:55 pm

I went UR on 10/19 and it seems like all today's admits were 10/12. That's a 7 day review difference. Therefore, the earliest I should expect to hear back is next week and I should not be disappointed or worried until then. Good logic, right??

Also, lucky admits, please be kind enough to fill in your stats in the spreadsheet - see the OP.

Just here to confirm that it seems that those of us that went UR on 10/12 are the ones receiving admissions decision. Although it's not reflected online, I received a pleasant phone call from Dean Tom around 12 pm CT.

You will get an email as part of being accepted. Some candidates are never called and only get an email.

Ah, that's assuring. Thanks!

No problem! We are all in this together. It will also show up on your status checker at some point. That is really up to Berkeley and when they want to update.

Congrats to all of the admits! For others, until next time:

Berkeley breaks from tradition (apparently...???)

Congrats, DCC!

For other admits, how long did it take to get the email after the call? I really want the email. Also, what about the acceptance packet?

No email. But Dean Tom did say something about official acceptance stuff coming out the week of Dec 7th.

I got an email but no call "Official email, information, and admission packet coming in mid-December" hopefully answers your questions!

Thanks
