<p>Did anyone get an email about decisions coming on March 27th. My D just got one.</p>

<p>Freshman decisions for fall 2008 will be announced on March 27!</p>

<p>We know you're hearing from other University of California campuses, but before you give them your reply, please wait to hear from UC Berkeley: we're worth the wait!</p>

<p>Berkeley decisions will be posted online via the student portal, myBerkeleyApplication,</p>

<p>Is it a good sign or did everyone get it???</p>

<p>My S got the same one today also.</p>

3

<p>obviously everyone gets that email...</p>

4

<p>My S got the same email seniormom. Don't know what it means or if they sent it to everyone who applied--but it seems kinda mean if Cal sent this "wait to hear" email out to kids who have been getting excited about acceptances at other UCs if Cal only intends to deny them next week anyway.</p>

5

<p>And bigreddawgie, my S has one friend who also got the email and one friend who did not.</p>

6

<p>Didnt get one.</p>

7

<p>"worth the wait"</p>

<p>Sounds promising, hopefully? Hmm. Or maybe it was by random.</p>

8

<p>Got it. (10 char)</p>

9

<p>I got one today. I think it is for those who applied to more than one UC?</p>

10

<p>i got it too...</p>

11

<p>Got it. </p>

<p>I agree with madbean that they should have skipped the line "We know you're hearing from other University of California campuses, but before you give them your reply, please wait to hear from UC Berkeley: we're worth the wait!" If they are not sure why add that line... why not just say "decisions are coming Mar 27th".</p>

<p>P.S. More analysis of the email shows that it was sent only to those who applied to multiple UCs and got accepted by at least one!</p>

12

<p>I think it is for those who applied to more than one UC?</p>

<p>Nope</p>

13

<p>don't worry guys thursday's gonna come soon enough! best not to psych ourselves out and start drawing conclusions.</p>

<p>they posted the same letter on their website. I guess if you didn't check your account recently they emailed you?</p>

15

<p>"I guess if you didn't check your account recently they emailed you?"</p>

<p>Nope</p>

16

<p>my friend got this last week so I don't know why they send it to people at different times.</p>

17

<p>My D checked her account 2 weeks ago</p>

18

<p>must send it 2 everyone...cauz my stats (3.75/2000 SAT) is too low for average berkley person who applied...im expecting rejection</p>

19

<p>I didn't get it. I am feeling this is a sign of rejection.</p>

20

<p>Nope, no e-mail here, and I got accepted to more than one UC. Depressing. Ahh, rejection is such a crappy, crappy, word.</p>
