Took me a week to get the email. It says that if you already have one you don't need to create another.

What makes you say that?
USPS notification said I should receive a package from Berkeley, CA today (99% sure no one else would send me something from Berkeley)
I got mine yesterday! I live 5 minutes away from campus so that must have helped.
Lol if that was me, I would be so impatient, I'd just walk over and get it. No shame!
Walk into the admissions office like
:lol:

what date counts as the first batch of faculty review
those that went under faculty review on 1/12
ah I guess the 1/31 group is the second batch?

I went UFR 1/18, so I think that's the second batch.

I live out of state and received mine, it was the official acceptance letter, a letter from the Dean, a letter from career development, and letter from financial aid). There was also a thick book with info all about Berkeley, which was really nice. The folder it's in is quite cute and our name is handwritten on it. Also a cool map of the bay area.

There are so many Golden Bears on TLS, I'm now suspecting whether I've sat next to any of you in one of my undergrad classes...

Congrats! I guess I'l see my package two weeks later as I'm out of town right now.
Just curious if there's any time sensitive matter mentioned in the package? I don't want to miss important dates just because I'm out of town and open the package too late...

Yeah it's super cute! They have quotes from John Lennon and Mother Theresa which is just the hippie-dippy stuff I'm into. It got me super excited!
