Did anyone else receive the UC Berkeley Merit Scholarship email?

<p>It's confusing b/c it says its due on Feb 24th but when I click the link to apply it says that all I need to do is apply to berkeley to become eligible for the scholarship.....and then it says it's only for freshman (?)</p>

<p>the link jsut takes us here
The</a> Leadership Award | CAA</p>

<p>I received it as well it says on the site that Junior transfer is also available for up to 2000 a year</p>

<p>that prob means you guys are going to get in, or else why would they send it
congrats!!! :)</p>

<p>OMG I got it too
holy ****
haha</p>

<p>OMG I got it too

haha</p>

<p>and i quote </p>

<p>“Your receipt of this scholarship invitation does not in any way reflect on your application for admission to UC Berkeley. You are no more or less likely to be admitted to UC Berkeley because you have received this invitation, and your decision to apply or not apply for Cal Alumni Association scholarships will not affect your application status.”</p>

<p>So no it doesn’t mean your getting in</p>

<p>yea i think they sent this to us by mistake too. only freshman have to submit by feb 24th. junior transfers apply in may</p>

<p>i received it too</p>

<p>it doesn’t mean anything.</p>

<p>I received it…is it due on the 24th for the transfer students too? I will definitely do it when it’s possible to actually apply and submit for the scholarship.</p>

<p>We’re only getting this email b/c we checked off some box on the UC app. I think I recall checking off a box that says something about leadership. lol</p>

<p>And this scholarship opens in may for junior transfer</p>

<p>I got it!!!</p>

<p>the 24th is for freshman, read everything carefully, ull see that transfers who were invied to this apply in may.</p>

<p>HOLY CRAP</p>

<p>i was reading this hoping i was one of you guys, and checked my email…and oh my gosh i got it too. I just called my friend and they said they didnt get it…but wow. i remember reading a frehsman thread and everyone who got it said that it meant you were either in or definitely most likely will be admitted…i am like freaking out. someone with definite info please speak up!</p>

<p>Am i missing something here? </p>

<p>So no it doesn’t mean your getting in</p>

<p>ahhaha it’s been quoted 3 times already.</p>

<p>I know they say that…but i can’t help but to believe they don’t seriously mean it. Cause they don’t send it to everyone…though unfortunately a friend of mine who i did not expect to get it, got it…so who knows :/</p>

<p>i’m just being super hopeful here lol</p>

<p>LOL there’s nothing wrong with being an optimist, leave them alone, if they want to think , it means they’re getting in, so be it</p>

<p>not necessarily “getting in” just a selected pool to send it too…</p>

<p>but don’t worry calbearguy-bubble has been bursted lol</p>
