After submitting an application, the wait time to receive an admission decision depends on the program you applied for.
Please note that in order to receive a decision, your application must be complete and successfully submitted before the final deadline, including payment of the $100 application fee.
Admission decisions are released on a rolling basis, typically within 2-4 weeks from the date the application was submitted. When application volumes are high, which often happens around deadlines, it can take up to 6 weeks to receive a decision. Please email us at visiting-student@berkeley.edu if you do not receive a decision within 6 weeks.
All admissions decisions are sent via email to the address you entered on your application.
