<p>Has anyone actually called and asked if we should take this as a good indication of acceptance?</p>
<p>so what about people with ID 71XXXXX?</p>
<p>Lol someone should</p>
<p>What’s their phone number…? I’ll call.</p>
<p>510-642-3175</p>
<p>Call wednesday. They close at 4 pm (pst) and they are alos closed on tuesdays, thursdays, and fridays</p>
<p>Look guys, don’t be flooding the admissions office with stupid inquiries. You’re just going to be wasting a few minutes of both your time and their time while they tell you to wait until you get an official decision via official channels at the official time.</p>
<p>Because of the sheer number of applicants and admits, the list may just as well be partial or even include people who weren’t admitted. In fact, it might have just even been a test gone awry with semi-random data from the applicant pool!</p>
<p>^No, I plan to complain to them why my name was put on a website without any indication beforehand, and what the significance of it was. Still thinking how I would phrase it so that I can work invasion of privacy in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha, that’d be pretty funny if that were true. But then again, what is the probability that *all<a href=“or%20at%20least%20no%20one%20has%20said%20they%20were%20regents%20and%20didn’t%20see%20their%20name”>/I</a> of the regents students happened to be on that list? Well, whatever, no reason in stressing about it now. 3 Days to go.</p>
<p>Do give them a call, WongTongTong, and let us all know!</p>
<p>@iPixel: You mean the UCID? That’s not an indication of anything, hon. The OP was talking about the CalnetID.</p>
<p>I’d imagine…you are a concerned parent that has heard disturbing rumours about “sensitive” data being released. I would further imagine that you would like to know the extent of the information that was revealed. When they tell you some names were released, in a concerned tone, you press on about how extensive the information release was. “do you mean EVERY applicant’s information was revealed?”…“when you say some, could you clarify…?”</p>
<p>I’ve been lurking in this thread since it was posted and while for the most part things are dying down, I want to post my take on things. </p>
<p>Here’s why I think this leak is official:</p>
<p>1) <a href=“https://calnet.berkeley.edu/schedule.html[/url]”>https://calnet.berkeley.edu/schedule.html</a> (props to pingu for finding this). It makes sense that only accepted students get IDs. Why would you give an ID in advance to someone who was rejected / waitlisted? </p>
<p>2) I went through and searched all the people at my school who would definitely get in, and 100% were (these people were all ivy/mit early acceptance caliber people). I followed by searching for people who had a pretty good shot at getting in, most of which had 4.2+ gpa 2100+ SAT I’d say 90% of these got in as well. I then searched names of people who applied but shouldn’t have gotten in, and most were not on the list. I had a total sample pool of about 30 or 40, so I think this is reasonably good evidence. </p>
<p>3) The fact that they removed it shows they are trying to hide something. Make what you want of it, but in mind they were preparing to release decisions by loading the IDs of admitted students into the CalNet database. Either someone didn’t think that an applicant would ever go searching through the database for themselves or (more likely) someone forgot to make these IDs not show up in search results. </p>
<p>4) Within the posted ID range people were able to find gaps where no IDs existed, and I think this accounts for the excess of IDs. It is perfectly reasonable to suspect there are forty 100-ID gaps present, and that would bring the number of admitted students down to a more reasonable 16,000. </p>
<p>Think what you want, but this is my $.02</p>
<p>^ That post essentially summarized the last 23 pages.</p>
<p>@mick- Will do.</p>
<p>And, damn it. I should have made a program earlier to run through the range and check to see how many students there actually were…ugh. Didn’t take they’d take it down.</p>
<p>these names are still there, 928933, 925052, 921240, 924744, 926135, 928460, 930059</p>
<p>Hmmm…all of those look like racial minorities. You’ve got 4 Hispanics (possibly), 2 Indians, and 1 East Asian person. Interesting.</p>
<p>Edit: never mind. I just found like 20 people still on the list…is anyone still on the website?</p>
<p>I know that this topic is pretty much done and over with, but I was just wondering about the applicant number…Mine starts with a 7, and the OP said that, “To ensure you are part of Fall 2011, your UID should be between 90XXXX and 95XXXX.” Are there two separate ID numbers or something??</p>
<p>well, thats beacuse i specifically searched “lopez” and “liu” to find their uid</p>
<p>rendanator: You just summarized what I was about to say, good job!</p>
<p>I practically did the same thing as you on #3 with similar results.</p>
<p>On #4: According to last year’s stats, there were about 13000 admitted fresmen, 3000 transfers and close to 2900 admitted to its grad school, that brings the total STUDENT NUMBER to roughly 20000!</p>
<p>"Berkeley Graduate Profile</p>
<p>Among the 35,000 students at the University of California, Berkeley, 28% are pursuing doctoral and master’s degrees in 101 different disciplines. The Berkeley Graduate Profile, created by the Institutional Research and External Relations units in the Graduate Division, offers a complete picture of doctoral and master’s student population as well as information on enrollments in each broad discipline and graduate student funding. In addition, the profile presents some of the most important indicators of the exceptional quality of Berkeley’s graduate programs.
A few highlights from the Berkeley Graduate Profile:</p>
<pre><code>* The fall 2010 incoming graduate class of 2,893 students was selected from among 38,119 applicants.
- 58% of Berkeley’s graduate students are enrolled in doctoral programs offered in all but one of the 14 schools and colleges on campus; 42% are here to earn master’s or professional degrees.
- In most years, Berkeley produces more Ph.D.s than any other U.S. university.
- The largest doctoral enrollments are in the Colleges of Letters & Science, Engineering, Chemistry, and Natural Resources; the largest professional schools are Business, Law, and Public Health.
- Berkeley has been the top-choice school for winners of the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowships during the past decade."

<p>I noticed that too, but I got lazy and stopped plugging them in haha. </p>
<p>And yes, I was just reading through the thread and I was annoyed at all the OMG MY NAME ISNT ON HERE GUYS WHATS WRONG posts. So I summarized/extrapolated.</p>
<p>Edit:</p>
<p>@jerrycurls your UCID and your UIC are two completely unrelated numbers </p>
<p>@carlroberts Agreement is awesome, thanks for the stats too!</p>
<p>My son received the likely letter for Engineering Applicants, but his information is not listed on the Calnet Database?</p>
<p>Some common questions I thought should be answered</p>
<p>-Almost all of the names have been taken off, so don’t be surprised if you aren’t in the database anymore.
-UCID AND UID ARE COMPLETELY UNRELATED. most of our UCIDs are 7xxxxxx and our UIDs are 9xxxxxx</p>
