<p>That’s what I’m really hoping. I’m obviously kicking myself (hindsight is 20/20) but I guess I’ll never know if I get denied. I really think (and HOPE) that they’ll look and just ignore. (Especially since aren’t a lot of the departments partially student run? Like answering emails and stuff?) And thanks for the answer (:</p>
<p>So we could be getting decisions this Friday?? Oh my goodness. I’m nervous.</p>
<p>from what happened last year, they sent out email on the afternoon (after 5 pm so we will not cause any disruption to our classes) of the second Friday of March, so it would be around 36 hours from now, I am putting my seat belt on, so I will not fall off my chair when I get rejected …</p>
<p>juicey, take a deep breath, everything will be okay even if we get rejected …
look at it this way, we will have less decision to make …</p>
<p>I know that someone states their daughter was told by the professor of the decision date. Now are professors normally told of the decision date? I would assume they are sought of as separate from admissions. And can anyone confirm tomorrow?</p>
<p>im so glad this thread has started. i’m glad to see i’m not the only one on the brink these last few weeks!</p>
<p>majors everyone? </p>
<p><-architecture.</p>
<p>DYING here! Applied undeclared I believe because I didn’t want it to affect the admission outcome… But I intend to take Cognitive Science</p>
<p>ms suns uc admission blog is where that info comes from</p>
<p>I am dying too, and when the decision comes out in 24 hours, I will be dead - rejected !!!</p>
<p>Neuroscience
@Athenisa-applying undeclared in the college of letters and science doesn’t impact your admission decision. They don’t take it into consideration (like the other colleges)</p>
<p>So they send u an email to like Ur yahoo or watever account right? Whether u get accept led or declined</p>
<p>Mhm. Saying an admission decision has been made and that you should check the link they provide</p>
<p>You should ALWAYS listen to your mom (LOL- can you tell I am one??) DONT stress, they have THOUSANDS of students, apps etc to deal with and they are not paying attention to one overanxious applicant. It is NOT an issue. (and I am sure they understand that applicants will try anything to get the answer asap. Relax.</p>
<p>I like your explanation (:
Thank you!</p>
