<p>They actually burn half the applications, then pick the rest out of a hat. A very, very, very large hat.</p>
<p>my status update says 3/14/2009. does this mean I might get the package soon?
I AM HOPING!!!</p>
<p>Then, I think they burned my application. Lol. :P</p>
<p>I also heard that if any semi survived the fire, it was automatic acceptance. So you really don’t know. :p</p>
<p>ahhh this is so nerve-wrecking.
I got an update last Friday (but this was after I called on Thursday and asked why they haven’t updated since December though)… but there wasn’t an OASIS link on the page. I don’t even know what all this means anymore :(</p>
<p>Yup, my application got burned. And it didn’t semi-survive.</p>
<p>i wonder what they did to my school’s applications…maybe something more tortuous</p>
<p>I guess so far it seems a monday update is a good thing, but not getting an update isnt an indication of anything, good or bad.</p>
<p>I just have a feeling my letter, good or bad, will get lost in the mail. Im more worried about that then say, terrorist attacks or bears right now.</p>

haha i go to troy high school in michigan
i also read about the troy high school in california that sends many kids to USC, I wish I went there though haha, i did a summer program at USC last summer and whenever I said I go to troy high, everyone was like, “the one in Fullerton, CA?”
my school sends a lot of kids to the University of Michigan though which is the good college in my state.</p>
<p>I hope this means I hear this week sometime, I would be so happy! especially since UCLA sends decisions this week as well, and since i didnt get an engineering likely letter there i am bracing for rejection…</p>
<p>Oh ok, I thought troy was in california, but figured I had remembered it wrong.</p>
<p>i thought UCLA started sending out decisions next week? i heard it was the 20-something-th</p>
<p>and im pretty sure my app was used as tinder to start up that fire where applications were burned. thus it’s COMPLETELY incinerated.
:(</p>
<p>I think Berkeley is the 26th and UCLA is Wednesday the 18th at 3:00 PM PST.</p>
<p>ah! really nagooya?!?!?!
i knew abt berk but i didn’t know abt ucla being this week! ahh!
(ahah, and yes, i’m bracing myself for the stones to be thrown at me because i applied to BOTH UCLA and USC. ahah. but w/e great education at either uni. that is if i get in 
)</p>
<p>I applied to both too. But I would pick USC over UCLA in a heartbeat! I don’t think I’ll get into UCLA considering I’m a white male. Haha… the truth hurts!</p>
