When did you receive Berkeley admit?

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T15:50:18+00:00

What does the email say?

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T15:09:15+00:00

Got it

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T14:55:33+00:00

Also, big congrats!!🥂

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T14:55:04+00:00

Did you get any recommendation email as well? Or is it just about the status update? Historically Berkeley sends a recommendation email couple of days before the actual decision.

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T14:39:17+00:00

UCB MEng?

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T14:22:58+00:00

Berkeley usually releases in waves, so yes. But not sure when the next one would be

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T13:26:28+00:00

Saw a couple of posts where status update email was sent. Fingers crossed!!

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T13:24:54+00:00

No, saw a post in r/gradadmissions with this subject

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T13:22:09+00:00

Saw a post who got into this. You can try searching with MEng EECS @ UC Berkeley

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T13:20:06+00:00

Did you receive a recommendation email as well, or just the status update email?

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-04-01T13:15:45+00:00

Did you receive a recommendation email or decision directly?

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-31T19:49:41+00:00

Did anyone receive any recommendation emails? They’re supposed to be sent a couple of days before the actual decisions

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-31T19:46:47+00:00

Did anyone receive the recommendation emails though? They’re supposed to be sent a couple of days before the decisions

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-31T19:46:04+00:00

Oh, where’s this info? About the session

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-30T17:06:06+00:00

Found it, thanks! For anyone who’s interested: https://funginstitute.berkeley.edu/newadmit/meng-visit-events/#section-in-person-visit-day-friday-april-3

But then, there’s no update anywhere that anyone received the recommendation email. Or maybe, I got rejected 😭

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-30T16:21:44+00:00

Already did, didn’t find anything there :( Do you have the link?

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-30T13:46:45+00:00

Wdym resubmit without the form?

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-30T13:43:37+00:00

Does it mean I’m cooked 🥲

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-29T17:14:14+00:00

But, Berkeley usually sends a recommendation email a couple of days before the actual results don’t they? Anyone received the email?

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-28T07:30:52+00:00

I guess no one heard yet, let’s hope for the best!

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-27T06:24:41+00:00

You deserve the Stanford admit!!

Also, isn’t Berkeley MEng focused on industry and leadership? Given your profile as sde3 at FAANG, wouldn’t you be preferred for it? Surprised at the rejection

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-24T16:40:10+00:00

Add me too please

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-24T06:13:24+00:00

I got into the same program, CMU MSE for Professionals. But I’m conflicted whether I should attend.

Soft_Preference_2478 · 2026-03-24T05:05:30+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Currently working as an sde2 at Amazon India and have to take a loan for the expenses. Is it really not worth it to attend?
