<p>I said it</p>
<p>others have said it</p>
<p>the admissions officer on the phone said it first</p>
<p>huh?
Who told you that?
I know many ppl who were accepted by both UCB and UCLA.</p>
<p>I heard it from some random post on this site, don't even remember who said it when.</p>
<h2>Just as an experiment, those of you who couldn't see the application should try now to see if you can see it now.</h2>
<p>hmm
Mine begins with a 19, and I could not see it.</p>

and I cannot see it now</p>
<p>lol
I am such a nerd.</p>
<p>Whoever said you only get into cal or UCLA is completly insane. ALmost everyone I knew last year who applied to both got into both. Don't believe the insanity! </p>
<p>As far as the application thing goes. I can still see it, but it still has my old e-mail address. </p>
<p>If the site ever populates my new e-mail address, I will get excited. Until then, I think we have proven why some can see it and some can't. </p>
<p>Reasons You Can See it:
1) Applied to cal out of high school
2) Attend a UC now
3) Attended summer school at cal or another UC. </p>
<p>If you don't fit the above criteria, and can't see it....STOP WORRYING.</p>
<p>...And it begins again. What about (oh what's his name again) who applied out of HS, has a number of 18, LS major, and CAN'T see it?</p>
<p>That's like perfect control group, no? So when you can explain why he can't see it, I'll stop feeling so content to believe I got in.</p>
<p>Yeah that does break the scenerio but maybe there is a certain time lapse from when one applied in HS. Also, my question is "Who is whats his name" and is he credible? Because you are right, that breaks the mold. </p>
<p>I Still firmly believe it means nothing. I wish it did, but until we can find some other people who break the mold, I don't think it means squat.</p>
<p>I think we have at least 2~3 people like that....</p>
<p>Maybe this doesn't mean anything, but I e-mailed the housing people telling them that I was a recently admitted student and wanted to confirm that my application was received successfully. They e-mailed back and said they got it, no problems whatsoever, and would announce dorm assignments around mid-June. But like I said, it's probably not helpful information.</p>
<p>Oh! And the two people I know of who can't see the application who applied out of HS and weren't 19s were 'cheesepizza' and 'okaybear'.</p>
<p>laneb, are u gonna go to berk? even if they give you like mostly loans since your OOS? (not trying to intimidate you into not going, but i am just curious, since berk isnt really that good with oos finaid)</p>
<p>This housing stuff is meaningless. I don't understand how people aren't getting it!</p>
<p>mojo, I am fortunate to have parents who will pay for wherever I want to go.</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>oh, thats good then :) i couldnt go to an out of state school cuz they arent generous :(</p>
<p>Wilderr = I am not advocating 100% that it means anything, nor do I think you have ANY evidence to state 100% that it means nothing. </p>
<p>Right now I think it is only interesting. </p>
<p>If we keep finding people who break the mold then I would say, it means something. </p>
<p>I am certainly glad I can see the darn thing right now. Even if it turns out it means nothing. It gives me HOPE.</p>
<p>I agree, verdet. However, how many people does it take before we can discount a hypothesis? Two? Three? Ten? </p>
<p>Imagine if a physicist said that the Earth's gravity attracts all matter. Then he found an example of a massed, matter-consistent object that was REPELLED by the Earth's gravity. He couldn't simply say "The Earth's gravity attracts all things, except that one." He would have to come up with a new hypothesis about gravity entirely. So in our case, obviously SOMETHING differentiates people who can see it and who can't. I think the most likely explanation (the basis for all scientific theories) in our case is that students have been admitted.</p>
<p>I'm not saying this to start further controversy, but rather to keep giving everyone a reason, as you said verdet, to HOPE. And also, it is a bit like unraveling a mystery using deductive logic and the clues given, so in a way, it's quite entertaining.</p>
<p>Acutaly what is making this interesting again is that the reasons for being able to see the application (or not) have changed which leaves open the possibility of acceptance as being a reason to "see it". </p>
<p>We know that:</p>
<p>You can see the app if:</p>
<p>1) You are a UC student
2) You attended summer school at a UC
3) You applied to Berk out of HS</p>
<p>These were the criteria that explained why you "could see the application" </p>
<p>NOW</p>
<p>The problem is that there are people now who applied out of hs who cannot see the application.... The question why can some, and others not. They break the pattern. It may mean nothing, and it may be a time issue. </p>
<p>If we could ever find someone who didnt fit all of the three criteria above, and COULD see the application, I would get excited. For now, just interesting.</p>
<p>Haha..do you guys do all of this to know about the decision, or just because it's fun trying to dig out the true meaning of these numbers? </p>
<p>There's only 10 days left...can't be that bad. Decisions will be the same regardless of time. 10 days from now, 1 month from now, 1 year from now, they'll be the same. </p>
<p>Know who said this? Sauronvoldemort should know...:D
"What has been is what will be, and what as been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun."</p>
<p>Like I said, it's both.</p>
