This is what it says: “
You may have recently received a message from our office directing you to financial aid information on CalCentral. This notification was inadvertently sent to a small group of applicants prior to the release of admission decisions and should not be considered final.

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will release final admissions decisions in MAP@Berkeley on Thursday, March 29th. Financial aid information will also be available in CalCentral at that time.

Please know there is no action you need to take at this time. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or additional concern this may have caused for you and your family at an important time during the college admissions process.”

Yup just got it

1083

The financial office just releases a statement stating that “this notification was inadvertently sent to a small group of applicants prior to the release of admission decisions and should not be considered final”. The official admission decisions will be Thursday.

So was this a leak or a prank?? I don’t even know if I should cry or laugh.

1084

Does not directly address the admission offer, seems more so directed about financial aid.

1085

Yup just checked my email. Back to the question: should I be happy or not? :-/

1086

I swear this school is going to give me an anurism :frowning:

1087

It says it should not be considered final but that sounds like damage control. We can see if 100% of the people who got the email get in.

1088

It’s total damage control. Why would you have a financial aid offer with your name on it congratulating you on your admission sitting in the portal waiting to be released if you didn’t get in. I think the second email will create more stress and anxiety. Oh well 3/29 it will be Go Bears

1089

Do people that didn’t get it still have a chance though?

1090

From what I’m seeing, “should not be considered final” means that not all decisions have gone out, so those who have not received it still have a chance, and those who have received are admitted.

1091

Did your portals get updated too? I already got in early but I’m just wondering because I’m waiting on Regents.

1092

UCB playing with my nerve. But good news for ones who didn’t receive the email! Anyway, good luck to everyone!

1093

i swear the college admissions process is going to give me an ulcer.

did anyone who doesn’t qualify for aid (but applied anyways) get the email??

1094

Did just the people who got the 3am email receive the one that was sent just now? Or did everyone who applied for financial aid receive the email they just sent?

1095

but they also said “The notification related to financial aid does not reflect final freshman admission decisions.” so are THOSE WHO GOT IT IN OR NOOOO

1096

So I applied for aid but I know that I don’t qualify for anything, and I didn’t get the email. Is there a chance that I wasn’t rejected even tho I didn’t get it bc I don’t qualify for aid, even tho I sent in the fafsa?

1097

Did you guys apply to Stanford and Caltech?

1098

@Yaboical where does it say that?

1099

@njnjnj UC Berkeley Admissions tweeted it. I believe it says that in the email they just sent out too.
