Congrats

I wonder whether the ADs are all sent at once? If I did not get any updating from school, do I still have the chance to get the AD in the near future?

No, and Yes. Be patient. You will do fine.

Thank you, Zhaofeng. Hope we all can have good news!

I guess they are sending out offers in ethnic group order

 

[zzz]

If the deposit date is still 03/23/2018, the remaining decisions will be released soon.

 

[kbelkhayat]

deposit date is 03/26/2018 for me

 

[Matt A]

one week to make a deposit :/

 

[Tsunami]

Folks! How much is the deposit amount?

 

[Cody Cao]

Folks! How much is the deposit amount?

$4000

 

[Aadithya Narayanan]

Anyone from India other than debajyoti who received an admit ?

 

[Trilok Kumar Yadav]

only one week to make the deposit and that too $4000, doesn't give people much of chance, UCB and maybe other universities haven't even released the decisions. Its like take it or leave it.

 

[kbelkhayat]

would you take UCB over Columbia?

 

[shaq]

would you take UCB over Columbia?

Anyday

 

[kbelkhayat]

Anyday

Can you please explain why?

 

[Trilok Kumar Yadav]

would you take UCB over Columbia?

yup, shorter course duration, amazing career service and smaller class strength. Also given the fact that it starts around 7-8 months later than columbia's course and ends only couple of months later give us more time to save money in the current job.

 

[shaq]

Can you please explain why?

Mainly due to:
1. Smaller batch size
2. Better career services
3. No competing courses like MSOR

But hey! That’s just my opinion....

 

[Karld]

For those who're in, if you asked for institutional funding/aid on the online application, did the offers come with it ?

 

[DiamondLemon]

Do we really have chance to be in? It's another day without any information.

I think the pattern of sending out the results this year is similar to 2015’s pattern. I guess we should wait to receive the final decision until end of March or early April
