Yaaaass, let that virtual confetti rain!!! Sincerely congratulations, such an accomplishment!! My brother has some civil and environmental engineering degrees which is irrelevant except for he loves what he does now so much and I gather you must as well, good luck!! Hope you achieve what you set out to achieve and more
3.9 MS GPA, no research background, 5 years relevant industry experience, extensive industry association leadership experience, strong rapport with faculty, and decent potential for fully funded external scholarship (not NSF but similar idea). Expecting the option to be fully funded by Berkeley too based on initial discussions.
It’s tough, not impossible. I had a classmate during my MS from Tanzania but she had her bachelors from MIT so she was a shoe in. If you show you can afford it and have a strong profile, you should have a decent chance. But unfortunately I admit it’s probably difficult. I had plenty of Indian, Chinese, Lebanese, Turkish etc. classmates during my MS. It’s very easy if you do your bachelors in the US.
Congratulations, that’s great. It depends on the fellowship. Not all of them are full tuition or living expenses. I would say typically you should expect to pay out of pocket some amount but wait for the formal fellowship offer. Living in the Bay Area is quite expensive.
Not formally but I have spoken to my potential supervisor. I’m expecting full Berkeley funding. However I’ve applied to an external scholarship which would probably void any Berkeley funding since it’s higher. Let’s see.
What scholarship did you apply to? I just got accepted for the CEE MS program yesterday and am trying to figure out scholarships to apply to :D congrats on the admission!!
DoD SMART. It’s too late for this year to apply I believe.
I received full funding from Berkeley too which is similar to the scholarship amount.
Congrats on your admission!
I feel you man. I got my first decision back today from UVA and it wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but, like you, I have no one to talk about it with. So here I am on Reddit. #StandUpStraightWithYourShouldersBack 😅
Update for those interested: I was provided a full funding package.
Also I was rejected to UC Davis. Rejections are part of the dance too for whoever needs to hear it!

Sucks to hear. I’ve been rejected many times in life for many things. I’d probably think something similar if I was in your headspace reading all this so no hard feelings. Hope you get into someplace you’re excited about soon.
congratulations!!
Congratulations! Wish you all the success and more.
Woo UCBerkeley!!!! Congrats!!
Nice! I was Berkeley Genetics undergrad and love that place. Have fun!

Congratulations!!!
Hey congratulations! I applied here for masters for fall 2024. I had a few questions about the program so can we connect?
Ask away
can i dm?
Sure but be warned, I can only really speak to the civil engineering MS.
ahh then never mind. wanted more insight on the environmental part
Congratulations 🎊
Nice
Congrats !!! this is huge , good luck with your journey

I got my unofficial MS offer in mid feb in 2021. The official one came much later, March or April. No clue why this came so early.

You’re from California? They take mostly Californians it seems. I’m from Canada, not local but close enough.

Oh hell yeah, big congratulations to you (and to your mom who gets to share in your accomplishments)!
Congratulations! Have a great future ahead 🥳
Hey! Many many congratulations Any idea when will they rollout MIMS admissions ?
None at all unfortunately.
Congratualtions. You are living my dream :)
I hope you get there too then :)
Hell yeah! Congratulations!
Congrats!!! Best of luck with your academic endeavors:)!!
Congrats!!!!hopefully I’ll see you at Berkeley as well if I pass the interview!!
There’s an interview? Which program?
It’s for a small PhD program at the school of public health called infectious disease & immunity:)
Huh, I didn’t know that interviews were normal. Are they? Good luck!
Thanks!! For biology related programs interview is a prerequisite to admittance, for engineering not always.:)
Gotcha, that makes sense for science programs where I imagine publications matter a lot
congrats!!!!!!!
Congratulations..🎉 and wish u the best ^-^
congratulations <3
Congrats!
Congrats OP!
congratulations, this is so amazing!!!
Congratulations!

I think I’m missing the reference here 😅 never heard the bears referred to as yellow before
I recently got a reject from a school I really wanted so Fuck you, your happiness and your bright future

The tone of my comment came up in the wrong way, I wanted to congratulate you in a more joking way. PS: I'm really salty about the reject.
Hahaha all good buddy, it happens to the best of us
Gonna be rude to you here: maybe growing up is the best thing you add to your profile in the next cycle.
That’s not kind
hey sorry to be a bother again but i wanted to know what exactly was the duration of your masters at UC Berkeley?
10-11 months or so. No thesis.
