Haha no worries, I thought for a second that there was some shorthand I was simply unaware of.

Congratulations! Did your Status Checker change to DLS or whatever, or just stay at under review? Trying to decide whether to neurotically refresh my emails or neurotically refresh my emails. Thanks :)

I got the email at 9, and checked my status at 9:25. It says

Current Status: A decision has been reached
Current Status Date: 2/16/2016
Decision Status: Admitted!
Decision Status Date: 2/16/2016

I didn't see it before I got the e-mail, but it presently reads as follows:

Current Status: A Decision Has been Reached (ominous!)
Decision: Admitted! (less ominous)

Congrats to you all. Did everyone get their email at 9? Curious if there's any point in checking today or if I already missed the fun.

I did. Obviously no idea what that implies for other waiters.

Thanks. Probably best for my sanity to assume I've missed out today anyway.

Just curious, I know this was brought up a few days ago, but has anyone that was admitted FR1 gotten their packets yet?

Does anyone know if it's a good idea to actually send a LOCI if you're WL... even though they say not to? I've been sifting through some other threads and the advice on this at other schools seems to vary-- some say do it anyways, others say forget about it. I'm wondering if anyone knows specifically about Berkeley on this issue...
The email I got detailed a little but about how Berkeley ranks its waitlist, but it basically said there's no point in sending in additional information since you've already been ranked and there's nothing that'll change your rank. So, I'm guessing you can send something, but it's not going to have an affect on whether or not you're getting off the waitlist.

Think this will help me get off of FR2 by showing continued interest, or am I just wasting their time and mine?
So I guess my question is tied a bit to clarf's bit about scheduling an interview... I thought they didn't even do that?

Got mine today...I'm only a couple of states over though.

Given that the one ASW they're having is in 3 weeks, it can't be long!

I submitted in late December and went FR1 in early February. The email stated that decisions should go out on or around February 26th.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
