<p>Got mine today and I'm in SoCal...unlike the other UC's, the Cal packet is more than a single piece of paper in a huge envelope. It has an admissions letter, a certificate, and its in a really pretty laminated folder that has all these pictures on it. It was definitely impressive. Good luck 2 all you guys who are still waiting for packets!!</p>
<p>did any spring admits get the letter yet?</p>
<p>I just got one packet. Anyone wanna reveal what last year's packet contained?</p>
<p>Of the four UC's that I have seen, Cal is the best (cardstock folder w/ congratulating "certificate" and letter, full size envelope)... then UCSD (cardstock sheet and letter, full size envelope)... then UCI (glossy sheet w/ color and letter, full size envelope)... and finally UCLA (two standard sheets of paper, no. 10 envelopes).</p>
<p>UCLA's letter was pathetic.</p>
<p>i second eiffelguy</p>
<p>i still havent received mine..i live in orange county but still, its not that far</p>
<p>i only got a card saying :congradulations on ur acceptance to UC Berkeley, im a spring admit...</p>
<p>Nice envelope. The certificate was written so dramatically. "This is your chance. Your chance. Take it." I like it, though.</p>
<p>ugh my certificate does not say that</p>
<p>maybe the certicates were personalized???</p>
<p>If personalized, you mean your name is on them. </p>
<p>There catchphrase is interesting: "There's no where like Berkeley. Anywhere."</p>
<p>Now I'm really crazed for Berkeley.</p>
<p>They took the time to do that...which is amazing.</p>
<p>Yeah, uh, I wasn't quoting it word for word. I was kind of exaggerating in that quote. But it is overdramatic, and kind of cool.</p>
<p>I agree with eiffelguy, I am sooo excited about Berkeley!</p>
<p>i got an alumni card saying congrats and telling me when the receptions are...but no acceptance letter yet</p>
<p>ah. so if some of you people in cali still didn't get your admittance packages, out of staters are neverr going to get them! =(</p>
<p>the velcro was pretty cool.</p>
<p>I'm in Beverly Hills and I still haven't gotten mine.</p>
<p>I agree- the letters LA and SD sent out were very pathetic last year (sounds like it stayed static this year). I'm curious to see if the Cal acceptance letter was the same as last year- did it say something along the lines of: this is the sound of the world opening before you? (velcro certificate holder was the sound and then some eloquent speal inside about this cal being a place of opportunity or something about it being one of the best colleges)? EG's quote sounds vaguely familiar...</p>
<p>Exactly like that.</p>
<p>I got the letter! It's is AWESOME. GO BEARS!</p>
