If you look back at that thread, I'm pretty sure people were using similar evidence as you guys are now: only recently admitted applicants would have received the ID that allows you to check your FA status, select classes, etc. This is not the same as the typical # ID that all colleges with online checking systems give you. It was supposed to be the official NYU student ID that you'd keep for your next two or three years.

Newly Admitted Undergraduate Students - You can get your 2007-2008 Residence Halls Application started now by entering your "My Berkeley" application ID and password below and clicking "Submit":

yeah i agree. i think it's clear. as far as it being "unlikely" that so many inter-UC transfers would get in, keep in mind that kids who post on CC are not indicative of a general trend. if you're gonna spend hours scouring message boards, systematically dissecting every bit of information that comes out, it might be the case that you are a better student than someone who doesn't care as much. just a thought.

anddd if you can't see the app you get:
Quote:
This application is available to admitted or registered undergraduate students only. Your login (CalNet ID: XXXXXX) is valid, but we cannot currently confirm your status as admitted or registered. If you have just been admitted, there may be a delay of a day or so before the Housing database receives your updated status; but if you are an admitted (or currently registered) student and you continue to receive this message, please contact the Housing Office or Tech Support for assistance.

yes that is compelling evidence.

However, I'd be careful. It could be the real deal, but then again this thread is two pages long (on my computer at least) because people are raising many "ifs" to the scenario. The fact of the matter is, you don't know you're in for sure until you get the decision, so don't set yourself up for the 1% chance of extreme disappointment.

OH I WILL SO QUOTE YOU!

Lol, I wasn't aware we were dueling, but if so this isn't fair cuz you have the homefield advantage.

Anyways, when I first got accepted to a college (WashU) I had to keep checking the status page online to make sure they hadn't changed it to rejected. Swear to God I reopened that status page 20 times that day and then when I finally had a letter, I felt safe. So the whole idea of assuming an acceptance based on something like this just seems crazy to me!

Emory also has this pre-admissions thing on their website Opus.

When i applied last year, i searched through the forums and saw that people were saying that if you see a deposit link, that means you are in, without getting your official decision. This is kinda reminiscent of what is going on right now. With that in mind, after i submitted my final transcript, 3 days later, i saw a deposit link. 2 days after, i saw a congrats message lol.. So im a total believer in pre-admissions sign.

Anyone else seen this:

"You have authenticated successfully with your current CalNet passphrase.

However, an upcoming move of the CalNet authentication service requires that your CalNet passphrase be synchronized with Active Directory (AD) and this cannot be done yet because your CalNet ID 18###### is not present in AD.

If you have two or three CalNet IDs ...
If you are a student, you may ignore this message. We are still working on allowing students to consolidate their CalNet IDs.
If you currently have only one ID, then please contact the CalNet Team at calnet-admin@lists.berkeley.edu for further information on resolving this issue."

Specifically on the subject of them reusing IDs: "We are still working on allowing students to consolidate their CalNet IDs." People obviously can have multiple IDs, IMO this housing app is showing everyone who applied in high school, is meaningless, etc.
