Fuwing2007, Yes the results for Penn are out. I talked to Prof. Block on Monday, and they voted on admissions last week. No one has received emails yet, including the admits. Details to come later this week or next.
Concerning Berkeley, I get the impression that they general aim for an entering class of ~40, so they admit maybe a few dozen more than that, anticipating a certain yield. I had a friend who is a math PhD student at Berkeley go ask Michael Christ about admissions for this year. They apparently over-matriculated last year and are handing out far fewer spots this year. I'm not sure what the actual numbers are, but I've heard of programs (MIT Physics to be specific), where the number of admits for one year was cut in half, or two-thirds, because of an over-matriculated year.
Best of luck to everyone!
