UCSB Web Glitch?

Hi all,

Earlier today, when I logged into UCSB's application status page the "Decision Available" line was grayed out.

Just now, it's gotten a green check-mark, and is no longer grayed out (but is not a link). In contrast, "Application Review Page" and "Application Completed" are now grayed out (which makes no sense).

The status page looks exactly the same as it used to!

Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe it's a university-wide glitch? Or maybe they've just chosen me to sadistically tell "We've made a decision, but we're not going to tell you what it is!"

Help!!

P.s. Here's an image of what I'm seeing now:

woah, mine looks like that too. I bet it's a web glitch and everyone's looks like that because I don't expect an early admit from them.



omg now instead of clicking refresh on my email, I'm clicking over and over again on the green "decision available" even though there is no link and I know it's a web error. I can't stop myself!!! Aaaah!

I think it's fine. I just checked, and got this. I'm pretty sure it means I got in:

but when it said "decision available," couldn't you click it and see what the decision was? I can't see squat? OMG what if I got rejected?! :shock: :shock: Can't! Take! The! Suspense!

I can see the code. I figure it means I've broken into the matrix or something.

Maybe someone who's already gotten in could login to the system. If it looks the same as ours, and they can't access their acceptance letter, it means that it's a system-wide problem, and not specific to our individual applications.

Just a thought!

ok, it's a universal web glitch. I wonder if a decision will really be available once it is fixed or if part of the glitch is that every applicant's page looks like that. this is like torture!

I think there is some sort of hidden message, and whoever figures it out will get accepted.

Or, we could all head down there, accept their offer, and demand to move into our new housing. Who's with me?

OK. That's it. I'm officially insane. I'm going to go get a beer and watch the game on TNT before I smash my head into my monitor.

That sounds like a good idea, I think I'll join you (in spirit). But I don't drink beer, so I think I'll get a Mountain Dew. And instead of the game, I'll watch Scrubs on Comedy Central.

awesome. i don't drink beer either, actually, but for some reason it suddenly sounded like a great idea.

You don't drink beer?! Now that's insanity.

I love wine, I just never acquired a taste for beer. My friends are trying to work on that though and I must admit, I can tolerate it now :wink:

Soon, my friend, your toleration will turn into love.

And then your love will turn to addiction.

well I checked it again this morning and it is back to normal, and it shows no decision has been made :evil: . back to waiting.

And then your addiction will turn into candy?

And then your candy will turn into delicious beer.
