I received an email with interview invitation written in the subject line. The online status also said something like "interview and review". So, on the online account there was clear indication that invitation was sent. Berkeley is known for sending interviews slowly so hang in there! All the best to you! Posted from my mobile device

Thanks ProleFeed13 and cognizant2001! Eternally optimistic about Berkeley!

No invite here yet, giving it another week or two before bracing myself for a ding and just hoping for a waitlist spot. Still optimistic

do you have any other schools where you have an accept?

Not at the moment but I'll be hearing back from 2 schools I've interviewed at soon. Also on a few waitlists right now.

Anyone who has interviewed in India?

Invited to interview! Well... I have waited for two months

Got an invite on March 5th:) Im travelling for work so can interview only on the 22th March. Is it too late considering the final decision will be out by the 26th!!

If you're anxious, I would recommend a Skype interview earlier (is that an option?). Though they say they are interviewing until decision day, so I would not worry about it. Good luck!
