there is a limited number of pages that can even be viewed directly from ur application that can have any potential indicators. it is not likely that the records “glitched” to where it is this obvious that u got in or didn’t. even if the acceptances r indicative — the default and unauthorized pages don’t mean rejection for sure.
it is likely that they double check records and manually finalize applications in the system- theres a reason the decisions are not already out, it’s Bcs backend updates r happening through the day and ur actual decision is the only way to truly know.
if the default option for the past few months was “further consideration” then it makes no sense that waitlisted individuals would have the same thing if the pages are being updated
“unauthorized” simply indicates that changes are being made to the page or that it is not accessible because updates are happening (could easily mean a later acceptance or waitlist)
the only indicator that is potentially valid is the “not coming to Berkeley” option Bcs that is a clear change with a visible update
so basically …
all those who think they have been accepted- yay:)!
the rest of us- let’s stay positive and not assume the worst Bcs anything can still happen
I agree with everything in your message except for the above. In a portal like UCLA’s, the withdraw application button isn’t available for rejected students. If Berkeley releases in the same way this page would remain inaccessible for rejected students
for rejected and waitlisted students…the ucla portal has no withdraw button at all once decisions are released. that is different from the button linking to a page that says unauthorized.
You never know how life turns. Sure, it feels sour. But one should not treat oneself as a victim no matter what happens. Your hard work in HS is yours to build your future. No rejection letter can take that away. Chin up, embracing every adventure with smiles. That’s what I told my son.
That’s my son as well, and with direct admit to his major, and just found out yesterday he got Regents! Not sure he would take Cal even if he got in, and based on “the indicators” he is not going to get in anyway.
If you were to copy the withdraw button link on UCLA’s portal before release and put it back in following rejection, I’d bet the page would look very similar
Thanks, thats what my dad told me to. He told me that its necessary to face rejections to become successful. He also told me that I could still end up at a phenomenal school and that one rejection at one school does not correlate to the other.
Fine. Let’s go with a more generalized approach: you copy UVA’s withdraw link before being rejected and paste it in later. Page would probably look the same as UCB’s does now (they use the same system)
