🙁 I just got a call today, and was thinking missed call + San Francisco area code = I got in at Pacific, but no. It's not the worst thing in the world because I have an acceptance somewhere else, but Pacific was my first choice. I know they take a lot of people off the wait list, but it's still disappointing. Anyone else get a call today?
 
Sorry Chops. Good luck getting in off the waitlist. I hope it works out for you, just gotta stay positive. When did you interview?

The 26th, so pretty late. My interviewer, honestly, told me twice during the interview "you're going to get in," so I was a little surprised that I didn't.

I'm not 100% sure. One of the people at my interview said that when they called, they said it was for an alternate spot, but my interviewer told me that I was interviewing for a seat. Then again, he told me I'd get in, so I guess I can't trust him. 😉
 
I was in your situation last year as well, my only advice to you: if you want to go to Pacific then stay persistent and it eventually will pay off. They are very good with their "waitlisters" and if you do not get in this year your chances in the next cycle will dramatically improve.
 
I got exactly the same call today and I got very good feedback from my interviewer, she told me u will get in and she said I will see u in fall I had the interview jan 26th as well

So you've never ridden an elephant, eh? Well, good luck. Hopefully we're towards the top.

I am the one from Washington. Are you the blond guy? Were you to my right? Were you the bungee jumper? I can't remember if that was all the same person. 🙄

Oh, okay, that was my second guess. I do remember you; that's a memorable major.
