Downloadable Application Requirements Checklist HERE

*Note: An application will only be considered complete and reviewable if all application materials are submitted electronically by the deadline, and all letters of recommendation and official test scores have been received and verified by the deadline. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Status Check

After submitting your application, you may check the status of the materials received, processed, and/or verified (fee waivers, test scores, and letters of recommendation) and an admission decision within the university application system.

We ask that applicants do not contact the department to request a status check. Please review our Application Requirements for materials required for an application to be considered complete. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.

Decision Notification

If your application is successful, the IEOR department will notify you that you have been recommended for admission. Only the Dean of the Graduate Division can offer official admission. You have not been officially admitted until you have received the official admission letter from the Dean.

Admission decisions will be released by the beginning of April.

If you have received a Master of Analytics Scholarship, you will be receiving a separate email announcing your award details.

Denied Students

The admission committee conducts a holistic and thorough review of each application. We are unable to offer specific reasons for denial. While we do not want to deny applicants admission to Berkeley, our graduate program is competitive with generally more qualified applications received than allotted slots for new students.

Admitted Students

Applicants receiving an admission offer who would like to accept should review the Accepting Your Offer of Admission guide from the Graduate Division. This webpage details the steps necessary to complete the three required forms online: the Statement of Intention to Register Form, the Statement of Legal Residence Form, and the Non-Immigrant Information Form (for international students).

We encourage applicants who have received an offer of admission to submit the “Reply to Offer of Admission” form as soon as they have decided on a graduate program and no later than April 15th.

After a student accepts an offer of admission, the student will begin to receive information regarding registration, orientation, and the I-20 (for international students).

We kindly ask that all admitted students inform us of their intention to attend (accept or decline).

Deferring Admission

Admitted students who have accepted their admission offer may request for their application to be deferred to the following fall term by emailing the IEOR Graduate Student Services staff with the following information:

• Name
• Student ID
• Reason for deferral

If the department approves, a deferral recommendation will be forwarded to the Graduate Division. The Graduate Division will then review and issue a final decision on the deferral application.
