Email from UCB admissions about Mar 27 decions?

<p>Hahaha well you know what, I'm kind of disappointed in Berkeley now because they were the ones who started this whole mess. Their wording in the email was awful and cruel, and it certainly does give false hope. I'm still not expecting to get in, but it certainly would've been nice if they just left out that "we're worth the wait!" part. They certainly should have had second thoughts on that paragraph before they receive even more emails expressing confusion from applicants and parents alike. I don't know about the rest of you, but this is sort of ridiculous.</p>

<p>That doesn't match up with learnmestuff's post</p>

<p>Well, I know that, kevioke. I just felt like expressing my disappointment in the Berkeley admissions staff about this stupid email, that's all. Geeeeeeeeez. Oh well, at least it was kinda fun trying to figure this all out. I'll just see what happens on Thurs.</p>

<p>i didnt get ANYTHING.</p>

<p>Haa I totally predicted that people would doubt UCB's email....again. What do you want people? Straight from the admissions office. They re-sent it bc people kept asking if it was a likely letter, so they changed the wording. Only those who had already received it were sent additional copies.</p>

<p>You're all obsessed. WAY obsessed.</p>

<p>honestly, i think we're overanalyzing it. ucb sent out a reminder, and after sending it, they discovered they had risen the hopes of many applicants, and then sent out another version. i don't know WHY people got one version and not the others, but mass emails always have glitches. </p>

<p>i emailed a link of this discussion to UCB. just thought i'd let them know what havoc they're wreaking. hahahaha.</p>

<p>i only received it once.</p>

<p>@vc08 - if people misunderstood the first version and they sent out another to clarify it, don't you think their addition to clarify it would be "this is not a likely email, let us clarify that". They wouldn't be re-wording it to "don't send your reply to other UCs yet, worth the wait"</p>

<p>I personally think that someone wrote the email without thinking how it will be interpreted. It could be a "likely" or just a "reminder", but surely not thought through well on their part.</p>

<p>99% of the applicants would have not viewed it as a "likely" if they had skipped that one line and just said "decisions will be out on 27th and this is just a reminder"</p>

<p>Well, I'm not freaking out because whatever happens happens. I understand that.
I'm just perplexed because some people like me didn't even get an e-mail (I'm OOS...I thought I had a good shot...the only UC I applied to was this one). I'm pretty sure it's not in my bulk. What do you guys make of that?
That would mean that this isn't a mass e-mail, as the people at UC-Berk suggested. They're deceiving us all. </p>

<p>DUN DUN DUNNNNNN.....</p>

<p>So, Cal completely forgot about me if the email was supposed to be sent to everyone... I didn't get a thing.</p>

<p>Guess they just hate us then, Senluck</p>

<p>hahaha, wow. </p>

<p>i emailed a link of this discussion to UCB and i'm wondering what the response will be, if any. :/</p>

<p>You guys, the e-mail's not a big deal. Everyone just needs to relaaaaaax.</p>

<p>^lol I bet admission officers would die laughing if they actually see this thread.</p>

<p>Did anyone who did not apply to UCLA recieve this email?</p>

<p>I didn't apply to UCLA. I got #3 ONLY.</p>

<p>So that basically eliminates the UCLA conspiracy.</p>

<p>everyone just needs to chill out. even if it is a "likely letter," Cal has already formally denied it in one of the emails so there is no way we'll be able to confirm what it is... just wait a couple of days!</p>

<p>But wouldn't they do that just to make sure the decisions really are secret until 3/27?</p>

<p>Just wondering, were there any RCS Candidates who DIDN'T receive OUA-#00000003-APPS<em>FR</em>WAIT?</p>

<p>could that mean if we only received #3, we're rejects?</p>
