Nope, I think they’re having technical difficulties because if you try to access some of their pages, it won’t load. I’ve emailed admissions about it too, and they’re backed up on replying. I’m sure, after the holidays it’ll be better.

What was the format of your place in the email? B/c mine is showing a decimal
Yeah it said:
"To date, your waitlist number is 17.0 of 120 on that list. I will continue to send out frequent updates with any significant position changes."
Congrats!!! You have a good chance of getting in! I got mine too… very low 🙁 72. so pretty bummed but slight chance I suppose! Anyways yay!!
Mine has a decimal too lol
I also got an email, I'm 15 on the waitlist aaaaah i hope this is a good sign
on the call Kasie mentioned she'd be reaching out to connect everyone and doing a few group zoom calls. the date for the deposit is Jan 15 so I'm thinking maybe she's waiting till then?

I did!
I've lived in downtown Oakland my entire life so if you're interested in a gym partner I'm always down after work
I used to go to 24 hour fitness on High St when I was living there.
How is the living situation in downtown Oakland? Is it safe?
I was wondering the same about the living situation there... anyone know how expensive is the area?
Uptown, Downtown and North Oakland are completely safe. The worst features of Oakland are car break-ins, loud and obnoxious street racings, and difficult street parkings. To be mugged you would have to be drawing a lot of attention to yourself like wearing expensive accessories while walking at night.
Yup, car break-ins happen a lot! Happened to me during finals week once, I just wanted to stop by Safeway to get some food before studying some more, and not even in there 10-15 mins and my backpack got stolen. Don’t leave anything in your car, and if you’re out and about, put it in the trunk before anyone can see it. Generally though, people mind their own business unless you try and start crap. Oakland wasn’t that bad, cost of living is still pretty high, especially for a college student, but it is what it is.
Thank you! This is a big help!
Thank you! Car break-ins is what I heard the most. Appreciate the advice!
Oh ya, there’s also a ton of homeless people but they don’t really bother you though. A lot of people who will try and ask you for money whenever you park at a grocery store, making up lies that they need gas money. One time, had this older man come up to me at a Trader Joe’s telling me that him and his friend just finished a job, but haven’t gotten paid and need to get home, but had no gas money. I gave him some money, and went about my business. A couple weeks later, other side of town, same man, same excuse but in front of a Nob Hill this time. I called him out on it and he walked away. Stay away from International when there’s no light outside.
Oh ya, when they broke into my car and stole my backpack, my check book was in there too. They faked my signature and cashed a check, I had the person’s name and everything, cops still don’t care. It’s all petty theft to them…there was also a time on the news where it was broad daylight in Montclair area, and these guys took a man’s laptop at Starbucks in daylight and the man ran after them. The only reason why the cops got involved is because they crushed the man against another car, and he ended up dying.
Just try your best to not be alone most of the time when you’re out. Most of the time, people mistakenly thought I was a cop (I’m a military guy) so people generally left me alone.

@mochime0w @mochipoki i love how both your names have mochi in it 😂😂
Hahaha right I thought the same! And applying to some of the same schools 😂🙌🏻
Yeah! In my email letter telling her I'd be removing myself, I asked if she could share what position I was when I'm removed.
Lol yeah I think I saw in the CA thread that we're also both from the bay area too 😅
Yes!!! How crazy 😂 I love it!
And ahh that makes sense I hope they update soon! Because that’s a decent jump I’d say!
