The Achievement Award Program Email Update

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>Did anyone who applied for the The Achievement Award Program get an email today saying:</p>

<p>Dear Applicant,</p>

<p>Thank you again for submitting an application for The Achievement Award Program. This email serves as confirmation that your application is still under consideration. You will be notified as to whether or not you are moving on to the finalist round by April 2. </p>

<p>Best,
The CAA Alumni Scholarships Team</p>

<p>I'm curious as to whether or not this is any indication of admittance. Unlike all the Leadership Award emails, this one DOES NOT say, "Your receipt of this scholarship invitation does not in any way reflect on your application for admission to UC Berkeley. You are no more or less likely to be admitted to UC Berkeley because you have received this invitation, and your decision to apply or not apply for Cal Alumni Association scholarships will not affect your application status."</p>

<p>I do not think it is, it’s a pretty general message.</p>

<p>D applied for The Achievement Award Program & received the same email as you on 3/24. Seems pretty general & just a confirmation that you are being reviewed & when finalists will be notified, which is by April 2. I was surprised that there were invites to a open house for Leadership applicants, but nothing for the Achievement applicants.</p>

<p>Didn’t the association already send a confirmation about 2 days after sending in the application? I wonder why we got another email?</p>

<p>delete</p>

<p>I got it too, but you have to remember that UCB and Cal Alumni are completely different organizations. So they probably are still considering your application because it is still unknown to them whether or not you have been accepted. It’s maybe like, you had a good application for the award, but we’ll have to wait till your decision comes out?</p>

<p>I got a similar one for the equity scholarship on Feb 28</p>

<p>Dear Applicant,</p>

<p>Thank you again for submitting an application for The Equity Scholarship. This email serves as confirmation that your application is still under consideration. You will be notified as to whether or not you are moving on to the finalist round by March 30. </p>

<p>I hope this is a good sign!</p>

<p>does anyone know whether its a good sign or not towards admission decisions? Because why would they still consider us if UCB has rejected us. UCB already finished their decisions along time ago wouldn’t they know, so why would they just couple of days before decisions are out, they email you and tell u they are considering you? lol just wondering…</p>

<p>It might be that they’re waiting for decisions to come out. If UCB made decisions a while ago, the scholarship notifications already said it had nothing to do with our admissions decision.So maybe they liked your application, but they cannot go on and notify you as a finalist unless they know your admission decision.</p>
