S got e-mail #3 and rejected
very disappointed in the wording of the e-mail, it should have been checked - just by breezing through all 50K+ entries on this thread gives a little idea as to how people were stressed about it......and then to reject those who were told 'we're worth the wait'. There were previous posts from alumnae who were going to contact the admissions office after decisions were out, and I hope they do. Someone with a little more clout should let them know that every word matters in this game...
Good luck to all the future Bears!!

And this has, insanely, become by far the most viewed and most commented on thread in the Berkeley forum O_O

email #3 from UCB:
" We know you're hearing from other University of California campuses, but before you give them your reply, please wait to hear from UC Berkeley: we're worth the wait!"
They asked many to hold off on accepting other UC offers of admission... ...only to reject them at a later date.
This will go down as a major admissions faux pas.  | |

no email and accepted (L&S). seriously, that email was SUPPOSED to be sent to all, just some random glitch with the mail server made it NOT sent to all. but trying to decipher it was really good effort. looked like fun XD

In spite of getting email #3 and being accepted, let me re-iterate that the content of email #3 should have been thought through. I totally agree with remark_gi and jiffsmom that they should have skipped that one sentence. Have got quite a few emails from Ivies announcing decision will be posted on 31st. And they are all to the point. I would hate to be in anyone's shoe who got #3 and got rejected.
This reminds me of the King's telegram to the field commander saying
"Kill him, not let him live" and later saying he had meant "Kill him not, let him live" Just a minor mistake of the comma being misplaced.
For those who got #3 and got rejected, keep your head high! Goodluck and I am sure you will find the right school that you will enjoy.

Accepted without an email, or at least I think. The email might have gone in my bulk which I emptied.
To summarize the above posts: The email did not mean anything. Conspiracy theorists need to stop doing **** like this just to freak out other people or make themselves feel better. Honestly guys, just wait until decisions come out.
Congrats to all who got in!

good game, it's easy to summarize when you got in! Can you have a little compassion for those who thought just maybe it meant something, since there were two other e-mails sent to lots of other students that were worded differently...there was no conspiracy here, just poor editing on the part of the admissions office. It's just plain wrong to say 'we're worth the wait', which implies an offer of admission under these circumstances, and then deny at the designated time. Just disappointing in how it was handled.

Yeah, I don't think the email had anything to do with admissions. I didn't get any email and got into EECS.
