UC Berkeley "just says no"

Dear Mr. Fricke:

I regret to inform you that you have not been accepted for graduate study in Applied Science and Technology (AS&T) at UC Berkeley.

The Berkeley campus has a strict enrollment ceiling and, thus, each program is limited in the number of new students it may admit each year. The Admissions Committee has the difficult task of selecting students from a large pool of well-qualified applicants. This year, AS&T received a record number of applications, which made the decision-making process even more difficult. Unfortunately, the AS&T Admissions Committee was unable to recommend admission to many outstanding applicants.

I am sorry that we do not have a place for you this year and hope that you will be able to make other arrangements to achieve your goals.

Sincerely,

Nathan Cheung, Chair
Graduate Group in Applied Science and Technology

Yeah...I guess finding a city that is Lund-like is a little on the unrealistic side =(. But I am definately ready to leave Berkeley. I have no idea where I'll apply, I guess to places in the top 10 and I'll pray and cross my fingers and hope for the best. Also to places that are decent in CS and also feature a beach nearby like UCSD.

And let's meet up, do you ever go to math tea?
