Note: As of January 2nd we are no longer able to change letter of recommender data. If your recommender is having trouble submitting a letter, please have them send it as a pdf attachment to gradadmissions@eecs.berkeley.edu. We will upload it to your application.

The campus system is experiencing problems matching GRE, TOEFL, and IELTS test scores with applications. We believe that this problem will be fixed soon. Please try not to worry, as the review does not begin until after January 5. Make sure your unofficial scores are entered in if you haven't submitted your application. Self-reported scores are acceptable for the review process. However, we will need official scores if you are admitted. Official scores will continue to be uploaded to your application as we receive them even past the January 5 deadline.

Late applications are not accepted. We do not have admissions to the Spring semester for any of our degree programs.
