<p>Why? why 5 pm? we get it the next day morning.. technicallly they should release according to time zones.. or why cant they give the decision at 8am or smthing coz m 12 hours ahead.. n it kinda sucks to wait till morn 5am to get the decision!</p>

<p>Since releasing the decisions by time zone would be completely within reason.</p>

3

13

<p>The decisions will go out sometime on Thursday, March 27th, 2008. There's no time set in case we run into any issues (i.e. the failed email job that was supposed to send a general email to all applicants on Friday, which caused this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/477450-email-ucb-admissions-about-mar-27-decions-5.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-berkeley/477450-email-ucb-admissions-about-mar-27-decions-5.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p>

<p>are you an officer at berkeley?</p>

<p>mybarkeleyapp, now ucb as nickname - if they are legit UCB adm. people, shouldn't they be talking to each other and come out with one explanation on the official UCB adm. website - or at least setup an official blog (like UCLA, MIT did)</p>

<p>At least next year, hope they mimic UCLA, MIT etc. in creating an official UCB admission blog, so no one wonders the authenticity...</p>

18

<p>yeah seriously....</p>

19

<p>If the email was intended to be a general reminder of when UCB decisions would be released, the wording probably should have been kept simple and general. ;)</p>

<p>On a humorous note... Can you imagine the admissions committee's horrified reaction if tables were turned and UCB applicants, en masse, had proclaimed, 'Don't admit any other applicant until you receive my reply, I'm worth the admit!'. :eek: :D :D :D</p>

<p>If the logic makes sense then you probably can deduce the authenticity of my statement.</p>
