after three rejections....

You know, someday I'm going to make jokes about this ;)

Never, ever give up.

Subject: Congratulations from UC Berkeley
Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2004 14:33:48 -0800
From: Mary Kelleher-Jones <marykj-aFE07iDfcCIb0cFwG/[email protected]>

It is my pleasure to inform you that you have been recommended for 
admission to graduate study in Computer Science at Berkeley. 
Congratulations!  You should watch for two letters in the U.S. mail. 
Shortly you should receive the details of your financial award from our 
Department.  Official notification from the University that you have 
been admitted for graduate study in Fall 2004 may not arrive for a few 
weeks.

The CS Division held its visit day for prospective graduate students 
earlier this month. A visit day for prospective EE graduate students 
will be held on March 29th.  As a prospective Berkeley CS graduate 
student, we would like you to feel free  to attend---it is the best way 
to get to know our Department.

The visit day activities start at 7:00pm on Sunday the 28th and run 
through (and include) dinner on Monday the 29th.  You can see the 
current agenda-in-progress at 
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/ee.agenda.html.  You should make your own 
travel arrangements.  We will contribute $300 toward your travel 
expenses, if you are traveling from states within the Pacific Time Zone 
(except the Bay Area), and up to $500 if you are traveling from another 
location in North America. (An important detail for Canadian visitors: 
you need a valid visa to be eligible for travel reimbursement. Visas we 
can use are: J1, B1, WB, H1, F1 and B2.)  Save those receipts.

The closest and most convenient airport to Berkeley is Oakland.

Berkeley CS has a very active graduate student body.  The Computer 
Science Graduate Student Association (the CSGSA) maintains web pages 
with useful information for incoming graduate students.  The CSGSA home 
page is at http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~csgsa.

If you have questions about the Department, the visit day, or anything 
else there are several people you should feel free to contact:

     Mary Kelleher-Jones    marykj-aFE07iDfcCIb0cFwG/[email protected]
     Prof. Michael Franklin    [email protected]

Mary handles the administrative logistics of admissions; she knows about 
the visit day and who to contact if you have any kind of administrative 
problem.

Mike is the faculty member in charge of CS graduate students and can 
answer questions about the graduate program and help you find the right 
other faculty to talk to in your areas of interest.


Congratulations again!

Sincerely yours,

Tsu Jae King, Vice Chair for Graduate Matters
Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
University of California, Berkeley
