<p>i applied chemical engineering.... i got nothing........... did anyone applied under college of chemistry get that email???</p>
<p>ya..i applied to the college of chemistry too under chem and havent received anything also</p>
<p>i applied as a history major and i also got this email today. I don't think it means anything</p>
<p>i just got this email today and i applied for chemical biology</p>
<p>I got this email today--applied for EECS. </p>
<p>This is obviously spam mail folks, I can feel it. The only real merit this thing has is that it doesn't say "this doesn't reflect your admission status" disclamer on the bottom.</p>
<p>But I dont think they send "spam" mail to those who wont get in. I mean from what I gather, not everyone received this email.</p>
<p>"The Coalition works hard to create diverse and
supportive communities of academically talented
students at UC Berkeley who are interested in science,
engineering, or mathematics."</p>
<p>I am pretty sure it is sent to all minorities (african american, asians, native americans, etc.) who applied to a major in science, engineering, or math. That's just my guess.</p>
<p>also, it says "If you are admitted to Berkeley, the campus offers ..." so I don't think it is anything to worry about. Some people got it, some didn't. Simple as that.</p>
<p>I just got it - and I applied for molecular biology. It would be nice to actually receive some acknowledgement or hint about the status of an application...the wait just seems so long, though I guess we only have to wait until March 31st - April 1st for most of our decisions.</p>
<p>Hmm...maybe it was sent to all minorities. Did any non-minority get this email?</p>
<p>i'm not a minority</p>
<p>im white, but i figure i got one because im gay, i was hoping it was a likely letter</p>
<p>Guys, I think it's spam. Why on earth would they send this to me when I've applied for Linguistics? I'm not a URM either, unless they take the size of Kuwait into account - "it's so tiny and in the middle of nowhere that she might as well be an Inuit for all we know! Let's take her in!!!!"</p>
<p>The fact that the subject title was in caps made me wary. I've scanned the e-mail and there doesn't seem to be any spelling mistakes, but it just doesn't seem right to me. I wish it was a likely letter, but I'd rather be skeptical now rather than get my hopes up.</p>
<p>I don't think it is a likely letter.</p>
<p>If you're from Kuwait, i'd say that's an URM. One doesn't meet too many people from there.</p>
<p>We will all find out March.</p>
<p>I'm asian, applied for bio, didn't get it</p>
<p>White, , engineering, OOS, middle class, got one a few days ago. I don't think this has anything to do with admission. They are just staggering the emails over a few days. I think everyone will get one eventually.</p>
<p>Count me as another person who is confused. I got one but:</p>
<p>--I'm asian--"diversity" my ass, like Berkeley is lacking asian people.
--My math and science scores were clearly lower than my verbal scores
--I am undeclared</p>
<p><em>scratches head</em> Oh, I found this: <a href="http://www.aad.berkeley.edu/coalition/%5B/url%5D">http://www.aad.berkeley.edu/coalition/</a></p>
<p>well it's weird they are emailing this stuff to non minorities.</p>
<p>Oh, I don't know if this is on the link I posted, but another place said that they wanted to recruit women as well as minorities. Are most people who got it female (I am)?</p>
