"Please provide a valid email address on your application form. You will be notified when your application is complete and being reviewed by the admissions committee. We will begin mailing offers of admission mid-February. Our last offers of admission will be mailed March 15. "
So has anyone been notified that their app is complete yet? I sure haven't.

Update: Poking around the web page, I found this in the graduate FAQ
"We will begin reviewing complete graduate applications after January 7, 2008. We intend to email applicants whether further materials are necessary or that their applications are complete by January 31st. We will make initial offers of admission mid February and continue until final offers of admission are made March 15th."
So that's why we haven't heard anything. My bad.

I think this is because the online application is provided by the university, and the undergrad program form is only required by the physics dept. If you remember, the application only asks some common basic thing.
UCSB is worse, they force u to print out 2 copies of personal statement, history, and resume and mail in. Even recommendation is paper only.

You can get the berkeley form here,
http://physics.berkeley.edu/academics/grad/UGProg.pdf
you should also call them to make sure they know what happened.

gradQ, do you expect us to tell you every school in the nation that has a physics department requiring additional mail-in materials? Go to the department webpages of the schools you are applying to. Click their links for admissions information and procedures, read what they have to say. That is how we found the Berkeley undergraduate form--it is stated plain as day in their admissions section.

Undergrad Prog. Form
Does anyone have any idea why they want you to list courses from only the past 2 years?
I just noticed this now and am sending it in, should I even bother? Am I screwed?

My guess is they're trying to make sure you were taking advanced courses.
If you have a 4.0 GPA but you've been taking courses like "Introduction to Studying" or "P.E." or "Advanced Fun" then they know you don't compare to the people who had a 4.0 and were taking "Advanced Developments in Synchrotron Radiation" or "Charged Particle Accelerator Instrumentation III"

My email was from <ucb_physics@yahoo.com>. I didn't notice before you said something. That is strange, you think they would use their .edu domain.
I got the email from <ucb_physics@yahoo.com> too...

Yeah, I got an email about my first name and last name are switched on my application from the berkeley.edu assistance. I emailed her back, and then she replied within 30mins.
I think the person who wants to inform you that your application is completed just don't want to get any email to ask about the status.
