This reminds me of why I first got on College Confidential. UCSC sent a COVID update in January about how “Our redwood trees and beautiful Pacific Ocean views await your student!” without the disclaimer that they haven’t made any admissions decisions yet. I knew enough not to read anything into it, but I was a little shocked at how easily it could have been read as a sign my son would be admitted. In fact, he was waitlisted, but I assume they sent that email to everyone.
