What is the consensus ITT re: the UR email last Friday? Any greater significance to it? I went UR 1/15.

seemed to be all of us that went UR on the 15th. Other than that we can't figure anything out.

[WaitingandHopeful]

The twitter post this weekend about emailing admits suggested that the people who had heard nothing about going into FR could still be getting a straight admit, and I guess the email admit today confirms that. Hoping those are rolling out slowly and not all at once, though, because I have nothing yet.

Probably a deny for me, but I'm still holding out some hope.

[hattrick87]

UR since 11/21 and was not sent to FR. Feeling an imminent ding. Berkeley, if you are not going to accept me, please don't drag this out. I've been suspended in hopeless hopefulness.

[CalAlumni]

Been UR since 1/14

UR since 10/26 and have heard nothing since (aside from the generic request by email a week or so ago to submit fafsa).

I'm pretty much an auto-ding, but hopeful.

[twinkie]

glad to see others have been UR for a long long time... no movement for me since late November.. Went complete 1/15, UR 1/28... auto ding but one can dream to be the exception, right??

Such an email has never gone out before, right?

I remember reading that a random 1/3 of applicants get looked at by assistant admissions officers, and if they feel that they want to admit the applicant they send the file to Dean Tom. In a bout of wishful thinking, maybe the people who got that email are the lucky ones whom were sent for Dean Tom's seal of approval... who's onboard with my excessive optimism?

I almost want to start a group for people who got that email to get their stats and stuff in hopes of shedding some light. I just find it super strange.

I got that email on 1/4 when I went UR...Unless your email is different. Mine read like this:

How did they figure out your username?!?!

[HawkeyeGirl]

How did they figure out your username?!?!

Didn't you know you were applying for the University of California at Berkeley Boalt Hall School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?

[fallingup]

^Yup that was it. Standard stuff. When I asked about its significance, I wasn't implying that the email might indicate something about our chances. I'm mostly curious as to whether it means a decision is coming soon.

Just thought I'd chime in to say I was part of this group as well. Went UR on 1/15, then got the UR email on 1/25. Not likely to be admitted based on my stats, though.

Really? Reading the stats on your profile, you're right at both their medians. Great shot.

[elblufer]

Soo...I guess Berkeley just REALLY doesn't want to deny anyone,huh?

[whereskyle]

hey dudes, if you may want something to do with your time, while you're waiting to be admitted to law school (as I am), I highly recommend michel thomas's language learning cds. Seriously, choose a language, and you will learn it. I don't even work for his company. I'm just that excited about it. It really beats waiting to hear back from law schools.

I am so glad your avatar is Ron Swanson. It made what you said epic in my head.
