Last year 30% of poll responders had the +ve astrology sign, and every one of them was admitted. So, that is really not an issue. This year, the theory could be wrong but the 30% survey response is not abnormal for a predictive sign.

Last year the astrology “signal” was discovered 4-5 days before decisions came out. This is 5 days. I think it makes pretty decent sense. I don’t know, however, what is involved with uploading decisions, and if that process is instantaneous, or if it in fact takes a few days.

As someone who has “not authorized” I really want to believe that this isn’t real

last years astrology was deemed mostly valid 4-5 days prior, right? so then does anybody know if anyones astrology changed 1-2 days prior, or even on the day of decisions?
stats were the same last year tho, it was 30%

I don’t remember that it changed at any point. I think it was possible to register for the newly admitted student events starting on Monday then upto and beyond decisions coming out. I don’t remember that there was a break when you couldn’t register. Let me check last years thread…
i heard that last year, some people’s astrology changed on the day of or 1-2 days prior. i don’t know though because i haven’t looked at last years thread myself

maybe I’m mistaken, but It’s possible that you are referring to the withdraw button astrology. I never messed with that one, so that might have changed 1-2 days before decisions - I don’t know. The newly admitted student events astrology was consistent throughout.
Wait fr?
WARNING Let me also point out that as we got into decision day last year, there were a number of new accounts that were really T R O L L ish, badgered students who were on this thread, and may have even offered potentially malicious advice.

NoName8668 says they know early admits with “not authorized” but the CS knowledge others have mentioned makes sense too

Makes sense. UCSB closed the portal 2 days before and UCLA closed the portal for a day before the decisions. But I am not sure if they are preparing and programming in other things as part of post- admit process and the actual decisions would be posted 1-2 days before the decision.
But this theory still looks believable to me. Unfortunately, we are “unauthorized” and may not be admitted.

i would like to know if this is really true, because of it is, then it basically completely disproves the astrology method we have right now. i have yet to hear of an inconsistency other than from NoName8668
Same here. We got “not authorized.” We just contributed to the survey and we’re in the other 60%. My D23 is 4.0UW/4.6WGPA but no hooks, OOS, and no LOR so we’re sort of expecting this. She’s super happy with UCLA (her #1 choice) so it’s all good.

It is possible that Cal uploads decisions in batches… Coz iirc, people’s withdraw form access was changing till T-2 days last year. So maybe the ones I know get it updated on Mon/Tue?

College confidential posters who are into portal astrology are not representative of the general population of applicants, so I believe that 30% of people on this thread who have responded to the poll could have been admitted.

The only change was that UCB did a “fix” to shut down admit event registration but if you recall, we were still able to cancel and re-egister using the confirmation links even though the front-end wasn’t allowing anyone to sign up.

God if this whole non-authorized vs. forbidden thing is true then I cannot believe I just found out I got rejected from my dream school at 3:30am at night

Oh THAT’s Right. Ok, now I remember
Student digital identity data (CalNet ID and passphrase) are added to CalNet as soon as they are admitted. So, I guess forbidden means acceptance.
