We'll all find out very soon whether there was any meaning to the emails and who got them. When my son received email #3 way back at the start of this thread, I honestly couldn't believe that UCB would send out such a provocative email unless they intended to admit. In essence, the email seemed to be saying: don't fall in love with the UC(s) that admitted you--those UC(s) that truly want you--because you should wait for the best UC (worth the wait!). This seems like a heartless message to send to 48,000 anxious students (if indeed it was meant for all applicants) if the intention is, after making them wait another terrible week, to reject over 35,000 of them. Because I'm aware that universities have a responsibility to be careful in their communications, I hoped email #3 was a likely email. Otherwise, UCB had blundered and hurt an awful lot of students.
Perhaps having a place to come and vent was helpful. And everyone loves a mystery.
Best of luck to all who are waiting for good news.
