<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was wondering if anybody else received an invitation to do a UC Berkeley survey? and if you did, what did you think about it?
There was also a mention about College Confidential in the survey on Question #9, it asked if CC was influential in your decision on choosing UC Berkeley. The scale went from not influential to extremely influential or not pertinent.
Was CC influential in your decision process? </p>

<p>The invitation email looked like this:</p>

<p>"Dear (insert name here),</p>

<p>Welcome to Cal! I am delighted that you will be attending UC Berkeley, and I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey about your college choice process.</p>

<p>I sincerely hope that you will take the time to participate. The survey will only take about 10 minutes, and your input will help Berkeley improve services to applicants for undergraduate admissions. Your responses will be kept strictly confidential, and neither your name nor other identifying information will be released.</p>

<p>In appreciation of your submission of survey responses, you will be automatically entered into a drawing for your choice of one of ten (10) $20 iTunes gift cards or $20 Amazon.com gift certificates. You may start the survey at <a href="https://inquisite.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/qwebcorporate.dll?idx=767GSK%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://inquisite.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/qwebcorporate.dll?idx=767GSK&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Your password is </p>

<p>This request is not spam. If you would like to opt-out of this survey, or if we have sent you the incorrect version of the survey, or if you have any other questions or concerns about the survey, please feel free to contact my office at <a href="mailto:aecss@berkeley.edu">aecss@berkeley.edu</a>. Best of luck with your undergraduate career and good luck on winning a prize when you complete the survey.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Walter Robinson</p>

<p>Assistant Vice Chancellor/Director of Admissions</p>

<p>University of California, Berkeley</p>

<p>cool, i see from your location that it says UCLA 12, so that means that even if you did not accept admission you may still have been invited to do the survey?</p>

<p>“I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey about your college choice process. I am sorry that you will not be attending UC Berkeley this coming academic year, and I would like to find out some of the reasons why you chose another college.”</p>

<p>That’s what it says for myself and probably other people that turned down Berkeley.</p>

<p>Interesting, did you get the option to chose the $20 iTunes/amazon gift card?
I am wondering because I do not want to get my hopes high for winning the prize.</p>

<p>ahahaha, I chose the iTunes gift card.</p>

7

<p>I got it. I chose a $20 amazon gift card should I win</p>

<p>Ya I told them the most influential thing was the Bridges Transfer Weekend, without doubt. But I also said that online sites (and they had Collegeconfidential in parentheses) were as well :D</p>
