<p>Did any of you get this email? I know it says that it was sent to a small number of applicants.. but it just doesn't make sense why they would send it to people they would possibly reject...</p>
<p>BTW, this is the full email</p>
<p>"YOU’RE INVITED!</p>
<p>We invite you to a Transfer Student Mixer at the College of Natural Resources, UC Berkeley. You will be able to meet current CNR transfer students, advisor’s, and visit during the Campus Open House Day- Cal Day. Join us for a great networking opportunity and a chance to learn more about the college!</p>
<p>Cal Day Prospective Transfer Student Mixer

<p>Please rsvp to <a href=“mailto:cnrteaching@nature.berkeley.edu”>cnrteaching@nature.berkeley.edu</a> if you are able to attend</p>
<p>To learn more about Cal Day and our Cal Day programs go to

[Cal</a> Day April 18, 2009!](<a href=“http://nature.berkeley.edu/blogs/newsline/2009/02/cal_day_2009.php]Cal”>http://nature.berkeley.edu/blogs/newsline/2009/02/cal_day_2009.php)</p>
<p>For all Cal Day Programs go to
[Cal</a> Day 2009, UC Berkeley](<a href=“http://calday.berkeley.edu/]Cal”>http://calday.berkeley.edu/)</p>
<p>We only released this invite to a small portion of applicants because of space in our Resource Center. If you have friends or other people interested in CNR please feel free to have them join us. </p>
<p>As you know admissions decisions will be released May 1 so applications are still in the review process."</p>
<p>No, but the releasing it to a small number of students is pretty odd. How do they choose who gets the invite?</p>
<p>let’s hope it’s good news. =D
and after all, this is specifically for the college of natural resources.
and i’m assuming most people applied to letters & science.</p>
<p>Oh, the message just said it was at the college of natural resources, I didn’t read thoroughly enough to see it also said CNR transfer students. Well, now I don’t care about not being invited.</p>
<p>^
LOL.</p>
<p>Congrats waiting! That must be exciting! I wish L&S would do something similar…grr. Hahaha.</p>
<p>I also received one from NR! soooo what does that meannnn?</p>
<p>It means you’re in!!!</p>
<p>where are you from? i wanna go :p</p>
<p>if any of you decide to go to Cal Day…stop by the fountain in upper sproul plaza at 12 noon, a few hundred students have arranged a flash mob where everyone is going to freeze for 5 min…i really want to do it but i will be at UCD picnic day and i want to know how it turned out…</p>
<p>I got this email as well!!! I am sooo glad I found this post. I think it mayyyybe it means that we’re AT LEAST past the first step of admission, but definitely no guarantees :/</p>
<p>But who knows?? I think that a lot of CNR majors might be receiving their decisions soon because if you read the daily activities for Cal Day, one section says:</p>
<p>“Reception for New CNR Students
3 to 4 p.m., Morgan Hall Patio
All newly admitted College of Natural Resources (CNR) students and their families are invited to attend a special Cal Day reception at the CNR Student Resource Center to meet and socialize with other admitted students, current students, faculty, and staff.”</p>
<p>But I was thinking, this may be applicable to all of the freshman admits…soooo who knows when we will be hearing. Until then, we will just have to “wait in agony” haha</p>
<p>Is anyone attending the event?? I really want to go, but not sure if I can because of the 7 hour drive, and the fact that I will be working on a research project for my Biology class :/</p>
<p>woh… I wanna go!
waitinginagony, if you don’t mind, what is your stat? major?</p>
<p>Do they do this for international students?</p>
<p>but yeah, it just doesn’t make sense why they would invite us to reject us, you know?</p>
<p>to 4759693:</p>
<p>Transferring from UCSD
3.76, Microbial Biology @ CNR</p>
<p>I think it’s a very good sign. Hahaha. Yeah, why would they invite only these select few to reject them? You should consider yourself very lucky!!! [:</p>
<p>wow that’s cool i didnt get an email like that</p>
<p>I’m a mentor at Berkeley and received a similar email with directions to send it to all of my mentees. </p>
<p>Not sure the invitation actually means a whole lot for you guys, but hopefully it at least helps in the long wait. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thanks Edward,</p>
<p>It definitely helps during the wait because it may be a flicker of hope for us who received it. I really wish I could attend the event, but my biology research project must come first! :)</p>
<p>I think attending the event might make me ultimately depressed if I end up with a rejection letter anyway. That would be suuuuch a big blow…I already know how perfect CNR is for me, so I will just have to wait this one out…</p>
<p>waitinginagony, since you are in Biology major… why you want to transfer to UCB? Is UCSD stronger at biology than UCB?</p>
<p>we are out of the states… do you think the chance to get in is very low??</p>
