Confirmed info or just a guess?

 

[curltron]

Thank you! I'm excited! Francesca told me official emails would be going out soon over the phone today. The deadline is May 15th (tuesday) according to their website so I guess this isn't super secret.

 

[Chashu]

Application review deadline is June 15 for round 2 http://mfe.berkeley.edu/admissions/index.html

So official emails for 2nd round, rite?

 

[Chashu]

On second thoughts I guess u r talkn about ucla again.. I din apply there so I ws unaware of their dates n got confused.. Ah!thts my desperation for ucb !:P

 

[curltron]

Nono official emails for UCLA, not Berkeley. I don't know about Berkeley.

 

[Chashu]

Put on hold. WTF this is no different than rejected.. Do they reject anyone or not?Or just place people on hold with a list of to-dos and still no guarantee?
