<p>Just got a phone call from UCSD, looks like I'm in :D Just waiting on the official paperwork to come in.</p>
<p>Did anyone else get in, and if you did, are you planning on attending?</p>
<p>are you able to view this information online? or you only know through the phonecall?</p>
<p>Phone calls are not reliable sources… ?? Unless you have full access to tritonlink, that is.</p>
<p>I’ve only heard of UCSD calling you to inform you of acceptance for their graduate programs, yo.</p>
<p>It’s a new thing this year to call people to tell them they got accepted.</p>
<p>so sketch.</p>
<p>Right, I must have just had a dream where an admissions rep from UCSD called me and confirmed my acceptance. Silly me.</p>
<p>Relax, everyone. It isn’t “sketch”, colleges everywhere have been doing it for ages. Obviously, UCSD has just started the process.</p>
<p>I got the call about an hour ago and it definitely sounded legit and came from an area code in SD. </p>
<p>I probably won’t go if I get in to UCLA, Cal, or Stanford, but it’s great to know I have this as a back up now.</p>
<p>^ It’s definitely legit, I called the admissions office asking if they were accepting people by phone this year, and they said that they were accepting some people by phone.</p>
<p>By the sounds of it, not everyone will get a phone call, and just because you didn’t get a call doesn’t mean you didn’t get in. I bet they’re only calling people that applied to/got accepted to other UCs. Just a guess.</p>
<p>got a call two hours ago =). and YES I’m IN!!! <em>squeals</em></p>
<p>How do they determine who gets a phone call?</p>
<p>if you get in durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr lotusP</p>
<p>wow…</p>
<p>There is no way they will call everyone who gets accepted, whatwednesday. I meant if calls were determined by stats or geographic location.</p>
<p>All campus phone numbers come from area code 858, and start with either 534-XXXX or 822-XXXX but I wouldn’t even trust that – any campus phone will have those prefixes.</p>
<p>Better wait for the written version. And sometimes even that isn’t real, either: [UC</a> San Diego sends wrong e-mail to rejected students | L.A. NOW | Los Angeles Times](<a href=“Archive blogs”>Archive blogs)</p>
<p>@LotusP: I was skeptical too that they would call ALL admitted freshmen. I mean, that’s a lot of calls! But I was told that they are in fact trying to call ALL admits (students/volunteers are calling). Now whether they’re successful or not might be another story.</p>
<p>But the website should be updated soon enough, so we’ll all be in the know.</p>
<p>Are we allowed to call UCSD and see if they called us earlier or not?</p>
<p>^ I doubt it. Apparently my mom says someone called around 8 last night for me. My super old house phone doesn’t have caller id and the answer machine only sporadically works. Someone left a message but the answer machine didn’t save it. I REALLY WANNA KNOW MY DECISION NOW. :(</p>
<p>Maybe the personal calls are UCSD’s attempt to make amends for last year’s flawed "admitted’ email…</p>
<p>Yep, S just got a call. Yay!</p>
