Part of me wants to appeal, but I don’t want to seem like a baby about their decision. I just feel like seeing my application date go from October 20, 2016 to denied with no checking in between wasn’t fair. It was as if they didn’t even look at my Supplemental Application. Thoughts?

So they are going to wait till the end to deny me!!! What is this?! Still pending …
I heard some interesting things when talking to a friend of mine after being denied with a 3.91 GPA.
My friends father works at an impacted CSU and was explaining to my friend that the admission decision processes is ridiculous. Her father said that a school has to comply with their resident application deal, meaning is you are local and have a certain GPA your in.
HOWEVER, this leaves very limited spots for those who are not local. After the locals have been pushed aside as accepted, everyone else enters a sort of “APPLICATION LOTTERY” where a certain number of applications are drawn out and reviewed for admissions. Those not drawn out are immediately denied. Because they have such a small number they can except after the locals, they choose out of the lottery hat rather than going over each of the thousands of other applicants.
My friends father said its very unfair because if you’re not a local, acceptance is more on luck than skill.
I’m local and haven’t heard anything … so obviously I didn’t make the cut for the local admission … which is understandable but still can’t they let me know?
I’m also a local with an adt and still pending. I think we have Hope since March 15 is the deadline to submit the adt for verification. My last status update was October 6

CCC Attended: Berkeley City College
GPA: 3.5
Pre-reqs/ADT/Required major prep classes done
Still says pending. I am curious as to why my ADT verification still says required when I had the preliminary verification done a month ago.
on the portal it explains why. They dont start checking them until march 15th
For those accepted, do you know if you are going for sure yet? I’m about 80% sure on going. I just have to figure out housing costs and if the cost is doable. I don’t want too much debt. Is anyone funding this entirely on their own? No parental support financially? I plan to go to the event on the 18th to tour housing and the film dept. From what I saw online though I wasn’t too impressed with transfer housing. It seemed like for the same price you could get a luxury apartment “off-campus” within walking distance. However, both campus and off-campus housing have horrible reviews. I’m also not down to lease for a year. I just want to go back home in between semesters. So it would seem like I don’t have too many options for that unless I take a risk and hope another student will take over my lease. Anyone else have their plans for housing if you don’t live in the area?
Thanks! I just took a look at it. Does this mean decisions for ADT students would not be sent out until after the 15th?
i dont know about the decisions but if thats what they are waiting for to make their decisions for us then yes the 15th and onward so us not getting our decions is a good thing the closer it gets to the 15th the more i believe they are waiting to confirm it and then make their decision from there
Have any locals with AA-Ts been denied?

Got an e-mail this evening telling me to check the portal, and it said that I was denied admission. Pretty disappointing because this was the school I wanted to go to the most. I’m planning on appealing though.
