<p>in poetry, theres something called overanalysis. Its when you look for themes and symbols etc etc when it is not intended to be seen as such or not even present at all.</p>
<p>THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE!!!
got one...no big whoop</p>
<p>It's okay. I freaked out when I didn't get it, but I got the email at 2 this morning. They're probably going down some list or something. :-) It looks like a mass email.</p>
<p>It would be a very mean email if those getting it are rejected.</p>
<p>I'm freaking out now. Probably for no reason; but Cal is numero uno on my list of 18 schools.</p>
<p>I, as others, have not gotten it, and I got into ucsb... and ucla, with regents at ucla.</p>
<p>OOS (Michigan); last name begins with R; think I'll be rejected (I don't think my essays were that good, and there's nothing else amazing to rescue me); haven't gotten an email yet</p>
<p>It isn't like the email says anything really new though, so I'm not too worried; more perplexed.</p>
<p>Got the email. Rejected at my 'dream school' UCLA, expecting rejection here as well.</p>
<p>=( i didnt get one either</p>
<p>I got one, but it doesn't mean a thing, expecting a rejection.</p>
<p>I got it. It seems kind of weird that they'd send this to all applicants though. I mean, why tell people "Don't reply to other schools yet; Berkeley is worth the wait" if they're going to be rejected?</p>
<p>I didn't think I'd get in...OOS. (Got into UCLA though, so I dunno.)</p>
<p>It would be misleading to send this to people who are going to be rejected, I think.</p>
<p>I'm either going to be very happy or pretty pis sed off come Thursday...</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>I think it'd be odd if they sent this and they're going to reject you. Sure some people with low stats (perhaps including myself) are getting it, but people got into UCLA with 1700 SATs, so you never know. Has anyone called/emailed them? I'm becoming curious...</p>
<p>i called a number i saw on thier website but it was a wrong numbner...</p>
<p>i think everyone who got it are accepted. because they specifically mentioned your name at the beginning of the email, and they also allude to the fact that "berkeley is worth the wait"
i already got into ucla and ucsd. So I think this is a "likely email"</p>
<p>^ Agree... A rejection isn't really "worth the wait".</p>
<p>Yes, the specific name mentioned at the beginning is interesting. I think UCSC and UCSB also sent something out a week before decisions.</p>
<p>yeah, concretejungle is right.
a rejection isn't really worth the wait.
i mean, they are trying to be being succinct and lowkey about this but it's totally a "we're accepting you" kinda thang.</p>
<p>@jabbawockeez: LONG LIVE KABA MODERN!</p>
<p>It would be really low and mean to tell worried seniors that CAL is worth the wait only to open the myadmission page and say Dear____ Thank you, but no thank you</p>
<p>I could be wrong, but I don't think it means certain acceptance. My stats aren't that great for Berkeley (4.08 UCGPA, 2180 SATs, OOS), so I'm anticipating rejection, and I still got the e-mail. As much as I'd like it to mean "we're accepting you," I really think it's just a bulk e-mail they send to everyone (or try to).</p>
<p>I logged into the app status page and it was posted there (as someone previously stated).</p>

<p>No idea what that means, but perhaps getting it in e-mail form is a likely and for the rest of us they simply place it on the site. Who knows at this point?</p>
