It's not good news I'm afraid. When I saw a mail from Berkeley in my inbox... my heart skipped a few beats... n in the lil time it took for the mail to download on my computer I almost passed out in anxiety ...
I regret to inform you that you have not been accepted for graduate
study in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of
California, Berkeley.
The Berkeley campus has a strict enrollment ceiling and thus each
department is limited in the number of new students it may admit each year.
Our department has the difficult task of selecting students with the
strongest overall records from a large pool of well-qualified applicants.
Unfortunately, this means we are not able to offer admission to many
applicants who are capable of excellent academic work.
I am sorry that we do not have a place for you and hope that you will
be able to make other arrangements to achieve your academic goals.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Franklin, Vice Chair
EECS Graduate Matters
I hope starting off with a reject isn't a bad omen. It's an early reject... Too bad... but there's still time n I'm trying to reassure myself !
All the other Berkeley hopefuls, if you haven't received a reject... I think u're on track
