<p>The harvard situation was different. This is a website freshman use as well and is public knowledge.</p>
<p>The freshmen already know if they’re admitted, so we can only reference transfers.</p>
<p>Cool. So I’m in at Berkeley.</p>
<p>WOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!</p>
<p>The admissions people think the system is like this:</p>
<p>If and ONLY IF P then Q</p>
<p>meaning</p>
<p>IF and ONLY IF you were admitted, you will see the housing application</p>
<p>Therefore, if you ask them what it means to see the housing application, they will most certainly say you were admitted.</p>
<p>However, if there is a bug in the system and what we’re seeing is something they overlooked, it’s actually</p>
<p>IF P then Q, but not necessarily the other way around… If you’re admitted, you see the application, but if you see the application it might not mean you’re admitted. It might just mean there’s a bug in the system.</p>
<p>Since “IF and ONLY IF P” is what the berkeley admission personnel were trained in, it wouldn’t occur to them that maybe something is wrong with the system, so they will tell everyone that if you see the app, it means you’re in.</p>
<p>However, from our perspective, it should be clear to us that there most likely is an error, and what the people at berkeley tell us (eg. in lostincode’s email) doesn’t mean a thing.</p>
<hr>
<p>Look at how ambiguously lostincode’s email was phrased. I assure you that if you explained to them exactly what the situation is, the answer wouldn’t have been so definite and simple.</p>
<p>If what m_l is saying is true then that goes with my theory.</p>
<p>If you’re a 17 and 18 and can see it, its because admissions still has your old file and just activated your name and file. Once they get done with everything, they’ll put your new info in. If you’re a 19, they haven’t inputted you into the database yet, so you can’t see it.</p>
<p>If you can’t see it, maybe you’re still being reviewed. If you can see it, I wouldn’t think of it as anything but an encouraging sign. Not a guarantee though.</p>
<p>^(to dhl3) good job you’re the only guy who seems to get it</p>
<p>I did ask about whether one should risk the $20. She seemed to indicate that it would be a good idea.</p>
<p>^hella unfair for 19’s</p>
<p>I think housing wouldn’t know. Someone would have to talk to admissions.</p>
<p>celiheartscc: woooo Speech & Debate!!!</p>
<p>Don’t put the $20, that might prompt a Harvard type situation. Wait until you get accepted officially.</p>
<p>How about this:</p>
<p>Everyone who can see the application are admitted, but not everyone who can NOT see the application are rejected.</p>
<p>I guarantee you guys that this doesn’t mean anything regarding admittance.</p>
<p>It’s a bug.</p>
<p>I bet anything this same thing ain’t gonna happen next year.</p>
<p>dhl3: yeah that’s what we’ve been saying all along :P</p>
<p>^ yea… 10char</p>
<p>lostincode…YOU HAVE NO SOURCE!!</p>
<p>im going to eat you for braekfast now</p>
<p>Well someone in the other thread posted that they can see the app. They are an OUT-OF-STATE applicant.</p>
<p>Hey guys
I have CalNet ID starts with 14 and can not login at all.</p>
<p>"This application is available to admitted or registered undergraduate students only. Your login (CalNet ID: 14xxxxxx) is valid, but we cannot currently confirm your status as admitted or registered. If you have just been admitted, there may be a delay of a day or so before the Housing database receives your updated status; but if you are an admitted (or currently registered) student and you continue to receive this message, please contact the Housing Office or Tech Support for assistance. "</p>
<p>I applied when i was in HS 6, 7 years ago.
This proves that first two numbers are given to you when you first apply.
By the fact that i can not login at all could mean that my application is
still under review. But this doesn’t contribute to issue on housing application debate.</p>
<p>Until someone who is a 19 can see the application I’m stickin to my guns that 19’s have yet to be reviewed…</p>
<p>Being an OOS is not a guaranteed rejection…</p>
