UCSB Housing clarification email...

<p>HA! I knew it! Did everyone get the email from UCSB saying the other email they sent of FRIDAY did NOT guarantee acceptance? I did, which either means I'm not in, which I kept on saying, or they're just sending another mass email....grr....</p>

<p>Well, I guess we have to fret after all....dammit...</p>

<p>edit: here's the letter...lemme know if you got and whether you're accepted/pending/rejected....thanks...</p>

<p>"Dear UCSB Applicant, </p>

<p>We sent an email on Friday regarding the UCSB housing guarantee for new transfer students. We sent the message to all active applicants, regardless of current status. The message regarding housing bears no reflection or update regarding your current status. If you would like to check your admission status with UCSB, you can access this site: <a href="https://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/applicant/index.asp?context=applicant_transfer%5B/url%5D"&gt;https://www.admissions.ucsb.edu/applicant/index.asp?context=applicant_transfer&lt;/a> </p>

<p>We apologize for any confusion that this email may have caused and wish you continued success in all of your academic endeavors. "</p>

<p>yeah then they sent this email to us, the admitted, to further clarify.
or did you guys get it too?</p>

<p>Dear janethedoe,</p>

<p>UC Santa Barbara is a campus rich in tradition and academic excellence. Faculty at UCSB enjoy working with undergraduate students, who make up the majority of our student population. To help students understand what UCSB has to offer, we want to take a moment to share information on academic advising and support services geared at undergraduates.</p>

<p>Academic advising is offered in multiple locations: Academic Departments; in one of the 3 colleges: College of Letters and Science, College of Engineering, or College of Creative Studies; and through our mentor program (mentors are professional staff on campus assigned to students by grade level). Students are encouraged to use all their resources to help them succeed academically.</p>

<p>To help students transition into UCSB’s quarter system we offer tutorial assistance through the Campus Learning Assistance Services ( CLAS). Drop in session for math and writing are available or students can sign up for smaller classes in most courses. All CLAS services are free to students!</p>

<p>Advising starts with summer Orientation. All newly admitted students will be invited to register for Orientation in mid-May. Academic advising, information about campus resources, and instructions on the UCSB registration process are all topics covered during Orientation. </p>

<p>For additional resources we hope you will take a moment to review your selected major or college at UCSB. </p>

<p>Sincerely,
Office of Admissions, UCSB</p>

<p>apparently UCSB does check CC!!!</p>

<p>Nope…I didn’t get it…and I’m still pending…:(</p>

<p>I got the one nicolles gets, but didn’t get the one jane gets… and Im still pending…</p>

<p>crap…oh and btw, congrats on UCLA jane! At least someone’s had good luck :)</p>

<p>i got both, the email OP posted and right after they sent me the one i posted.</p>

<p>Yep, congrats Jane! Happy to see that you got into UCLA! I got rejected by UCLA this morning…</p>

<p>aww thank you nicolles and shinnnn so much! :heart:
sorry shinnn about the bad news :frowning:
dont worry, you will do great where ever you choose to go.
good luck :heart:</p>

<p>sorry for threadjacking :(</p>

<p>HEy you know WHAT nicolle… it’s not over till it’s over</p>

<p>And Jane, threadjack all you want, you just got into UC effing LA!! :slight_smile: congratulations</p>

<p>i received both, and yes i think they saw a ton of hits on this site and they had to clarify :)</p>

<p>i know they made a mistake with the email, but anyone else but me find it a bit humbling (not an English major, so if a word is better feel free to add) for them to actually send a follow up email,…its pretty cool of them to do that instead of the rejected just being notified after a transfer-housing email</p>

<p>Thanks to who ever is reading this :)</p>

<p>yeah. i guess you’re right, but that kind of HAD to do that after sending out that email lol. And I heard that people on admissions committees read these forums…don’t you feel bad if there is some poor guy that has to sift through all our neurotic obsessive conversations every day haha</p>

<p>It was humble and professional of them to send out a clarification message – mistakes are fine so long as you admit fault (and don’t make the same mistake six hundred trillion times, haha)</p>
