another reason i dont think this is a likely letter is because more than half the people in this thread have gotten it.
If you subscribe to a forum about college admissions, chances are you're a good student.

Stay optimistic, people! Remember, lots of people with below average stats get into UCB each year.

This seriously has become my favorite thread on CC. Leave it to a bunch of high strung overachievers to analyze word for word emails from colleges.

Don't fret if you have below average stats! Because people with super high stats (4.2+ UC GPA, 2300+ SAT), they have to accept lower people to balance it out and give you the final average.

The email was NOT sent to everyone. A bunch of people I know , including myself, did not receive any letter at all. I have recieved many letters regarding berkeley's alumni scholarship, so i doubt they have the wrong email.

I don't know if the emails mean anything. I've been reading this thread for the last 2 hours, and many people who got this email have been accepted everywhere. I applied to UCD, UCSD, UCLA, and UCB. I've been rejected from UCD, UCSD, and UCLA AND I got the #3 email.

stephnieme,

Did you have stellar extra curriculars and/or good essays on your app?

can someone sum up for me, what each email said?
i think thats so weird that they would send out three different emails, and that some people wouldnt receive one at all.

yayitsjane: I like to think I have stellar EC's on my app. I'm Key Club Secretary, NHS, CSF, JNHS, 4 yrs swim team, and some more. And I have a 4.2 GPA. Still rejected from Davis and SD.

Oh, and my essays were pretty well written.
