<p>I agree its fun and probably meaningless</p>
<p>"Wilderr, I will believe what you say when you can prove it. But so far I think, we, the Housing App Believers, have the empirical advantage."</p>
<p>What? Any scientist would laugh at what you're saying here, I'm afraid, because it goes against the fundamentals of every good (objective) experiment. You're seeing what you want to see out of a mass of data, which isn't surprising. I assure you that if the situation was flipped, you'd have plenty of doubts. Everyone who could see the application could see it before admissions made decisions. This is enough to completely and utterly discount any shred of predictive power the housing application had.</p>
<p>And yeah, it was fun.</p>
<p>Like I said, I'm not claiming to prove anything. It's a distinct possibility that it could be meaningless. But I at least offer a theory to support WHY I think so (I won't repeat it here), whereas you have merely stated without any evidence whatsoever the opposite. As far as scientific theories go, your isn't a theory, because it lacks "falsifiability": using what we know now, no one can disprove that it means nothing.</p>
<p>I have merely offered a theory using numerous examples of why I think it is meaningful. For every opposing theory of who can see the application, there is another person who disqualifies that, and you only need one person to invalidate a theory. So far my theory is the only one that can explain every single person who can and can't see it.</p>
<p>Although I don't like the personal-attack tone of your last post, I'm not going to say anything more until we have knew information. Everyone is going to draw their own conclusions regardless.</p>
<p>Actually your theory that it means "nothing" is totally ridiculous. </p>
<p>Of course it means something. But again, it doen't mean acceptance. </p>
<p>We know some possible reasons why some can see it, but we don't know why say one person who applied out of HS can see it, and another cannot. </p>
<p>To say it means nothing is wrong. To say it means acceptance is wrong. </p>
<p>But there is a reason that some can see it, and some cannot. And as of now, no-one has been able to disprove or prove that it means acceptance.</p>
<p>I wish we could get more people to indicate their situation and rather they can see it or not. We need a bigger sample.</p>
<p>everyone just post results on 4/30 and what they saw while trying to login, then we can have some evidence, until then this thread is pointless.</p>
<p>Yep you are probably right West Nile, but the 9 more days are brutal.</p>
<p>Oh and thank you for being the spokesman for everyone.</p>
<p>I think the homestretch is the hardest... I can't think of anything else anymore.</p>
<p>I'm an unfortunate 19,that cannot see it? I don't even know if that is bad or good with all the back and forth on the thread. I applied out of high school, so I was surprised that I didn't even get an older number. I don't know why that may be. </p>
<p>Hopefully this amounts to nothing (since I am in the worse position to be in, but good luck to all the others that can see it!)</p>
<p>Niggit = No one knows, but you are the one situation that makes things strange. </p>
<p>I wouldn't worry, I don't think it means anything.</p>
<p>Niggit is now the FOURTH person who applied in HS and can't see the application. The others are okaybear, insamniac, and cheesepizza.</p>
<p>So let me ask those in the "meaningless" camp this: Why can those people NOT see the application? Saying, "I don't know, but this is meaningless" is not a sufficient answer. I'm not saying it proves that anyone has been accepted, but I think that that's pretty much the only other criterion we have. </p>
<p>Thus I think that the "access=admission" theory (revision: for people who applied previously, perhaps not for first-time applicants) is the only one that actually attempts to provide an explanation of the situation. Until someone gives me a better answer than "Sorry, you're just wrong." I'll stand convinced.</p>
<p>perhaps the housing information was updated for those that previously applied, so they are admits. While the 19s, whom are all new, have to have their stuff in the system before one can see the application.</p>
<p>Right, but I know of at least one 18 (cheesepizza) who applied in HS and can't see it. And we have at least one example of 19s who CAN see it.</p>
<p>yeah, the 19 was the person who went there for the summer and had an id # already.</p>
<p>9 days</p>
<p>damnit</p>
<p>I just don't understand why I would recieve a newer number (19) even though I applied out of HS. I have a feeling I'm rejected though (because of pre-requisite coursework), so I somewhat believe in the theory.</p>
<p>it's okay just niggit</p>
<p>you'll be fine</p>
<p>Another thing though that goes against the theory is inter-campus transfers. I know there are at least 5 people from this board who can see the app that are at a UC now and even more friends of friends who are inter-campus who can see it. Why are all of the people who applied out of HS who can't see it CC students? Wouldn't one inter-campus transfer not be able to see it w/ admission rates not so favorable?</p>
<p>EDIT: I scrolled a few pages and found a person who applied inter-campus and can't see the app.</p>
<p>I almost want to know the answer to this more than I do the decision.</p>
<p>Anyone's status for this change i.e. couldn't see it, now I can? Old e-mail is new now?</p>
<p>the forums wouldn't be this quiet if that had been the case</p>
