<p>My friend applied to Cal and said that several days ago she received an email that said her decision will be up on April Fool's Day, but that it wouldn't be an April Fool's prank. I haven't got an email like that yet, has anyone else received one?</p>
<p>yes, many people here received the email. it is in reference to the alumni scholarships.</p>
<p>Yeah, I received it.</p>
<p>Did you apply for the alumni scholarship? That's what it was for. </p>
<p>Copy/pasted directly from my e-mail:</p>
<p>"If you are offered admission to UC Berkeley, you will receive an email from our office no later than Saturday, April 1 with an update about your UC Berkeley Alumni Scholarship Leadership Award status. But it will not be an April Fools Day joke. It will be serious."</p>
