I mean, if it's exactly what you want, go ahead. They might tell you up front that they don't believe you can get into a top X school (with their letters), at which point neither of you will be wasting your time going forward. They might also tell you that it is wise/stupid to think so. I don't think that changes either of your incentives, the profs are not going to write a better or worse letter because you revealed that, and it will improve both of your information.

People on GC have already gotten rejected by Booth, so it might be a waitlist (I'm in the same boat).

I know it's a formality but their phrasing "those of you who are likely to be admitted" is not comforting to me.

I was told Berkeley visit day this year is Apr 11 for anyone planning ahead. Probably should have someone else to confirm it before you make travel plans though.

Berkeley has not come out. I know someone who was reached out to by faculty earlier in the cycle to ask if they still wanted an offer and they said yes. That person did not get an offer today.

Good luck everyone. They say funding information will come with the formal offers one to two weeks from now. In the past, funding was 20k (Canadian).

I really wonder if visit days actually matter since everyone's strong advice is to go to the highest-ranked program anyway, even if you perceive the cohort to be unbearable and faculty to be inattentive.
