<p>Live 20 min from campus, nada.</p>
<p>Even if this does mean something (I wouldn’t get my hopes up), don’t worry if nothing came in. They probably haven’t even finished looking at all the applications yet.</p>
<p>I don’t think proximity is an issue… I live three and a half hours north and I got one. I want to believe that this is really positive but its hard to since I looked online and it still says, “In Review.”</p>
<p>I live 40 minutes away and I didn’t get anything</p>
<p>I called the student store and they said that the list they received was from the admitted freshman list, somehow my name and address got on that list. So… I guess its a mistake? They told me to call the admission center so I did and I’m waiting to hear back from them.</p>
<p>^ glad you called. it would be really bad juju if they were sending out ads to students before the official decisions were released. but anyway, i hope that is what happened in your case and you get admitted! but generally, that would be very lame.</p>
<p>All I have to say is that the UC’s have been very trigger happy lately sending congratulations to the wrong pools of applicants. UCI sent me and quite a few others an email reminding us to check out collegeweeklive to help us submit our positive SIR, and apply for housing. Then a few hours later they sent another email saying, JK you’re not an admitted freshman. UCSD sent me an email awhile back about freshman housing, then sent out and email saying JK LOL sorry. UCLA told a bunch of freshman on the waitlist they were in and again sent everyone a sorry LOL letter. </p>
<p>I really hope you guys are in and they messed up and put you guys on frosh admit list, not transfer, but I’m just saying don’t take it with too much worth. I, personally, would just prefer to be rejected then this YOU’RE IN! JK no your not LOL, actually YOU’RE IN! No, jk, rejected crap.</p>
<p>^ last year harvard deleted my online account before sending me a rejection letter. and when i called to ask them why i could no longer access my account and whether or not that meant i had been rejected, they told me it was “normal” and they were just updating the site. in other words, they lied to me. so i was not sad that a school that blatently lies to people did not admit me. i received my rejection email four days later. seriously. haha</p>
<p>I got the same mail this morning and I live 2 hrs from the campus :)</p>
<p>can someone take a picture of what the flier looks like? please</p>
<p>No flier today. I’m actually a little upset about it.</p>
<p>It’s hard for me to imagine that they “accidentally” threw in some random transfer student applicants into the mailing list.</p>
<p>They either accidentally added the ADMITTED TRANSFER students to the ADMITTED FRESHMEN list, or they added the ENTIRE TRANSFER APPLICANT list to the ADMITTED FRESHMAN list. However, if the latter was true, then why wouldn’t all of transfers receive a mailer, even some of us who live only a half hour away? </p>
<p>Or perhaps they added the entire TRANSFER APPLICANT list to the mailing list and are only mailing out the fliers in batches.</p>
<p>I’m mentally preparing myself to now see myself at UCSC or UCD. I don’t really want to go anywhere but UCB so it will be quite the emotional path to embark on.</p>
<p>How is it hard to believe that they may have legitimately sent out the fliers on accident? You do know about the recent incident involving UCLA accidentally “admitting” nearly 1,000 waitlisted freshmen, right? Or did that just ruin your belief that the UCs are special entities that can do no wrong…</p>

<p>I didn’t know about the UCLA mixup, but that also doesn’t make me feel better.</p>
<p>The 1000 waitlisted freshmen is a “batch”, they all shared the same status (waitlisted) and their list was accidentally mixed in with a mailer of acceptance students. This could be the same case. What groups could they have possibly created out of the transfer applicant pool? Spring admits, fall admits, and not accepted. It’s plausible to me that ADMITS could be accidentally added to FRESHMAN admits.</p>
<p>I’m also losing my sanity, by the way, from waiting so damn long. Paranoia and fear have taken over.</p>
<p>re post #31 – reminds me there really is something to that notion of “glass half full” and “glass half empty” approaches to life.</p>
<p>okay, i love this thread. very cool and entertaining and interesting. but we are talking about a discount flyer! not UCB acceptance letters. just wanted to remind everyone. anyway, did someone take a picture of it and post it? thanks!</p>
<p>@tredelta</p>
<p>You edited your post after I replied to add “Or did that just ruin your belief that the UCs are special entities that can do no wrong…”</p>
<p>I clearly wrote that I believe they made a mistake either way in identifying their mailer batches, so I don’t really understand your added comment.</p>
<p>Are people receiving these through email or postal service?</p>
<p>@fluxrad: It was a revision meant to be made before you responded. I apologize.</p>
<p>Hello, everyone, I am representing UC Berkeley’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and I wanted to clear up this issue. OUA was made aware of this mailer from the Cal Student Store. This communication, intended for newly-admitted freshmen, does not affect nor have any relation to transfer admission decisions, which will be released on April 27, 2012.</p>
<p>Official admission decision notifications are only available through the myBerkeleyApplication student portal at: [myBerkeleyApplication</a> : Berkeley](<a href=“http://students.berkeley.edu/myberkeley/home.asp]myBerkeleyApplication”>http://students.berkeley.edu/myberkeley/home.asp)</p>
<p>Good luck to all of our transfer applicants and Go Bears!</p>
<p>thanks @myberkeleyapp</p>
<p>Still feeling a little stressed out over it. Clarifying how the mailer mistake occurred would help me sleep better for the next 9 nights. But I will try to take this reply as a confirmation that the flier had nothing to do with admission decisions. </p>
<p>… :(</p>
