<p>@uneoao… In this link - [Admission</a> and Application Instructions](<a href=“http://bioeng.berkeley.edu/prospectives/admissions.php]Admission”>http://bioeng.berkeley.edu/prospectives/admissions.php) … Under the section of Recruitment/interview visits, they have mentioned tat the finalists would be told by Jan 2010 end… So I guess, @Shaolin was told right…</p>
<p>@uneoao i called the same person (rebecca pauling).</p>
<p>I emailed SEASGRAD of columbia asking if a decision has been made as the last email update from them said it would take only 3-5 weeks… and it has already been 7 weeks… Got the following reply - “The decision process can take around 4-6 weeks or more. You will be notified as soon as a decision is made. Please be patient.”</p>
<p>I called Rebecca Pauling of Berkeley today… and she said “We are hoping to send out all the results early next week”… So we still have time… Fingers crossed !!</p>

Did anyone here get anything from UCB ?</p>

<p>postal, cuz they told him he’ll get the letter in 2 days…</p>
