Cal Housing - "Can you see the Application" list

<p>Who is the 19 who saw it and did they previously apply or attend UCB? I think it may mean something if you applied before and can't see it but there are way to many people that have never applied to or attended UCB that don't see it for that to mean anything.</p>

<p>I did not apply to UCB in hs.</p>

That's incorrect, lostincode, we did have an example of a 19 who could see it.

who?</p>

<p>my new theory: those who can see the "EOP" message on housing = accepted</p>

<p>im sorry, i must have missed something...what's the "EOP" message?</p>

<p>I swear there was a guy who was a 19 and could see it. He did apply in HS. But I could be mistaken.</p>

<p>Also, does anyone's CalNet ID work yet? I know we don't have the passphrases, but mine still says "No CalNet ID at 18XXXXXX".</p>

<p>The guy who was a 19 & could see it went to summer school, again.</p>

<p>Ah OK. Well, like I said with the 19s, we don't have enough information to decide either way. The housing app=admissions theory was for CalNet ID < 18 ONLY.</p>

<p>But I am more interested in hearing about this EOP message. I probably won't be able to see it, though, because I've already submitted the damn application!</p>

<p>How about this: for some reason, if you have been entered into the system before, and you can access the housing app, it means you're in. If you've never been entered into the system at all (ie, no HS, no summer session), it doesn't mean anything either way. They probably have the housing application "locked" for those students new to the database, but for some reason "unlocked" for the second-timers.</p>

<p>Ideas?</p>

<p>lane, your theory sounds good to me. well find out for sure on monday.</p>

<p>I'm still sticking with my EOP theory</p>

<p>guys. why would they ever archive application id's from previous years (high schools? that doesnt make any sense at all. if they didnt admit the students, even if they HAD at one point a profile for them, it doesnt make any sense. i really think we're pulling straws out of a scarecrow here. i mean, saying that you can see an application-when the administration has repeatedly been surprised that applicants can access them- and when confronted about it, no action has been taken...this whole thing is on REALLY shaky grounds to me.</p>

<p>^That's the crazy thing. How are our OLD profiles linked with our CURRENT application ID's?</p>

<p>I agree zemook. I think that the only reason our HS information is coming up is because of the old e-mail addresses. I would guess that it links e-mail addresses to social security numbers, and then just uses the first one it has saved (the old one).</p>

<p>^It's not just e-mail addresses. A few posters have said that they're old home address shows up on the form.</p>

<p>whats the eop theory?</p>

<p>^Someone posted saying that at the bottom of the app it said, "You don't have to pay the $20 because you were either accepted as an EOP applicant or qualified for a fee waiver."</p>

<p>oh, i thought there was a new theory kinda like the FA thing for UCLA... </p>

<p>too bad uc berk doesnt have an URSA thing.</p>

<p>What I said above applies to home addresses as well.</p>

yeah that.
the people who sees that message COULD NOT SEE IT BEFORE
so it's a CHANGE which probably means something</p>

<p>laguna first discovered this but I guess he didn't post it here</p>

<p>I did quite few pages back</p>

<p>Our records indicate that you have been accepted as an Educational Opportunity Program student, and/or you qualified for the University of California admissions application fee waiver, and accordingly the Housing Application fee will be waived for this application.</p>
