UC Berkeley Portal Astrology Discussion 2024

DS had Forbidden + SID a few days ago, and now line 45 FFT switched to FTT. Based on last year’s portal astrology (which thus far seems identical to this year’s), I believe these are ALL of the changes that indicate admission.

do you have to also have the ftt thing or is having a student id and forbidden enough to assume acceptance?i don’t want to check the coding

As of last year’s thread, though not 1000% conclusive but like 99%, nobody with forbidden had anything other than FTT (and I could not find anybody with forbidden last year who did not get accepted, regardless of whether they checked FFT/FTT).

FWIW, there’s zero risk in looking into the withdrawal page source code. After clicking “withdraw application” on the main portal page, you go to a new page where you would have to then check a box AND press submit to actually process the withdrawal. In other words, there is literally no way you could accidentally withdraw your application.

so you think i’m good? ik me not wanting to check the source code is delusional cuz already been checking forbidden and student id :sob: but i just don’t want to. what do u thinks chances of waitlist w forbidden and student id are

I think you’re good, I’m in the exact same boat and definitely understand the feeling of wanting to be skeptical (I’m still not outright accepting any astrology as final before I read my admissions decision), but according to all astrological indicators you should be in.

Likley indicates rejection, sorry. Rejection is redirection, the new path will get you to your destination.

If you’re concerned about unintentionally withdrawing your application, see my post above about how that is literally IMPOSSIBLE to do by accident (you would need to go through two more discrete steps after initially hitting the withdraw link).

yea no idk why i’m stressed abt it but i just like don’t want to idek😭 do u think forbidden and student id is enough to assume acceptance or could it still be waitlist? i can’t handle another waitlisted

yea good to hear fs i just like have this feeling of waitlist😭 do yk if last year everyone w forbidden and student id got accepted?

i have the same question- i have all the tells but don’t want to get waitlisted

Wait but can you get in trouble for looking at the source code :sob:

does a FFT + not authorized but access to the withdraw form mean waitlist (seems true according to last year)

Do we know what time decisions go out tomorrow? I had in my head 3:30 but I’m not if I made that up

Haven’t said word of this to S24, want him to just discover on his own tomorrow without getting hopes up.
But…
The forbidden was enough for me to book a (refundable) hotel for Cal Day

does anyone not have access to their withdrawal form?

so you think forbidden and student id is safe to assume acceptance? even if you don’t check the source code?

That’s not how it works. If you’re paranoid, open an incognito window (Ctrl Shift N in Chrome) so no cookies are stored, and then hit Ctrl U to pull up a tab with the source code, and just look at line 45.

according to past years, yes

I know a early admit with a 3039 and 3040 id number. The ID’s should not be the issue.
