<p>@pandabearexpress No one can. :/</p>
<p>a UCSD admissions rep should get on here and explain the situation -.-</p>
<p>@l2equiem I would like think to that, but I wouldn’t want to mislead myself. I wasn’t sure if I got this message because UCSD is having a system crisis.</p>
<p>@oushin @collegesplz @korean101</p>
<p>Before getting my decision, all I ever saw was the “you can’t proceed” message. I only got the “come back later” message after my decision was posted (noon). Sooo not seeing this before your actual decision says nothing. Relax, y’all.</p>
<p>Im still hoping the trick is legitimate haha</p>
<p>@lilliana330 did you get in?</p>
<p>I honestly think Housing Trick doesn’t matter anymore. Now everything is crammed.</p>
<p>I think everyone should just stop worrying over the housing debacle; there is no way of us knowing what it means. JUST GO TO SLEEP!!! When you wake up in the morning, everything should be fixed (I hope). The decisions will come out in the next few days, so don’t sweat it. Knowing right now or in a few days is not going to make a difference. STOP STRESSING!</p>
<p>Oh I’d also like to note that people have been trying to predict acceptances via the housing message for years and it’s never been accurate. This is not a new “trick” and it has never worked so stop presuming and worrying yourselves. Do not be disappointed or overly excited if you have one message or the other. Again, it means nothing. </p>
<p>@d0k1ing Yup</p>
<p>was checking twitter and apparently portal is working again for select few ppl??? what?!</p>
<p>@jkimzo well, technically the portal IS working since we can log in, we just can’t see our admission status.</p>
<p>Does UCSD send an email notification that the decision is ready?</p>
<p>I just see my application is still under review </p>
<p>What does this mean? I’m probably not even looking at the right thing lol
“No Housing Application Fee required. You may apply today before you decide what university to attend. You will have completed the housing application process when you arrive at the Confirmation Page.”</p>
<p>@ucanthrograd - We have made a mountain out of a mole hill on this thread about the housing myth. At times the page refresh could just be pulling the cached pages. </p>
<p>Software glitches are ways of life. There is a certain group of people that have jobs because large software companies do not have perfect software 
And believe me those are the people that are now working to get us the results we need. So let’s leave these out of the equation.</p>
<p>The person responsible for the rollout of the results - I can agree. That person should have had the technical competence to understand the server load that a place like UCSD could experience and taken appropriate measures (hey keep in mind one of the foremost Institutes in the world in Supercomputing exists on Campus - San Diego Supercomputer Center). This is not the first time UCSD is releasing admission results for 70,000+ students. People learn from their experiences but here we have someone obviously without a clue leading this project and causing all this grief for our kids.</p>
<p>This is not rocket science in these days when during the Black Friday Online Sale, sites like Amazon etc. get millions of access requests and they do handle them gracefully based on some of the algorithms possibly developed or researched at SDC. </p>
<p>See this announcement from 2011 (these are the reasons we recruit students from such places):</p>

<p>UCSD has some of the best brains, but the people in-charge of ACT (Admission systems) do not appear to be from the pool of students that are so sought after by companies. UCSD, just get some of your fabulous students participate in this exercise, they will learn a whole lot from these experiences and we will get designers that know how the real world works.</p>
<p>@ucuwned15: That’s the housing message that everyone gets. Keep refreshing the page until you get either “please check back in late March” (accepted) or “your application status does not allow you to” (rejected)</p>
<p>I’ve logged onto the portal so many times today that I now have my user ID memorized… :-< :-< </p>
<p>So do we have to login 8345458668654 times or do they send an email notification? </p>
<p>Okay I’m rejected lmao. Oh well :-B </p>
