<p>i want to live off campus w/ friends next year at my current school, but i can't sign any contracts unless i know for sure berkeley won't be taking me. have you guys heard of berkeley releasing decisions early in cases like this? will asking for an admissions decision early guarantee my rejection, lol?</p>
<p>i realize im probably going to have to wait... there are thousands of applicants and surely, many are dealing with the same thing. still, it would suck to have to live in the dorms for 3 years :/</p>
