Hmm I can't help but careen from ecstatic hope, the "They're finalizing my application!" fantasy, to utter despair, the "If I was accepted they would've told me already!

Has anyone ever seen a letter like this? Does the fact that it comes from the Student Affairs mean anything potentially pos/negative?

oh yeah, also wanted to mention.....yesterday i received an email from someone in the department i applied to saying that i would find out by April 15.

So either they are really eager to have me or really eager to reject me. ?!?!?!?!?!?!

There's a thread about this on the psychology subforum. A number of us received that letter, on different dates, and all ended up being rejections. BUT, I think it could be different for each department, especially since you also had a note from the department.

I hope you hear good news on the 19th!

From what I have heard, UC Davis sends out that email in all fields, anytime it's about to post a decision online. I wouldn't read anything into it whatsoever.

Also, the promise to notify by April 15th doesn't mean anything, either. All the programs are supposed to notify by the 15th but most notify sooner. They were probably just trying to be vague and avoid giving you details.
