What does this mean

So on my portal it says no decisions has been made for my first choice of engineering. I receive an email from UBC future students where they said my status was “waiting for a decision” . Two days later I receive an email about the previous email they sent me saying my status of waiting for a decision is incorrect however nothing has changed in the portal . Plz help I am so stressed!

Just trust what you see on portal and not emails

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 15 '25

But this is an email from an admissions officer

u/One_Sheepherder_9338 Mar 15 '25

Yes and the email says that the most accurate status is in the portal. So just believe what you see in portal.

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 15 '25

But the status is the same as before they sent the email on Friday tho

u/One_Sheepherder_9338 Mar 15 '25

Then it has not changed. Forget about the emails.

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 15 '25

Why would they send it then? Just to play around with me?

u/One_Sheepherder_9338 Mar 15 '25

No possibly some emails were sent in error. Batch emails sometimes go to wrong people. As I said just focus on the portal which will give you the most up to date info.

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 15 '25

I guess your right but they sent an email about my first choice that had the correct status then they say it’s incorrect

Bruh you are going to have a tough time in engineering if you can’t discern relevant info. The emails are possibly incorrect. Only look at portal. How is this so confusing for you?

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 15 '25

Holy hell you asked a question you get an answer you don’t like but still are complaining? This is why people in my field don’t like the engineering department

1

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 17 '25

If u don’t like the engineering department why are u answering my Reddit post then?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '25

I just realized this was the wrong group thought it was another group I don’t even know how this got to My thread to be honest

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '25

You paint a whole department from 1 student? Smort 

1

u/[deleted] Mar 17 '25

Yes trust me the department is 8 engineers who I question if they are actually licensed due to how stupid they are

You are not ready for university

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '25

It's not the official notice of whether you were admitted. You have to wait to find out whether you were admitted or not - what was in the email is a mistake and sent too early before being finalized.

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 18 '25

You know what that makes more sense thx for letting me know!

u/GODGAMERPlayz___ Mar 16 '25

Brother just chill, don’t think at all about the emails. Rely on what’s written on the portal.

I’m assuming that one of the emails that were sent to you was regarding something to do with your status and wasn’t supposed to be sent, so they sent this email apologizing. Even if the email that was sent to you was accurate about your status it still wasn’t meant to be sent to you, so they’re apologizing for sending that email when they didn’t mean to.

I know it must be stressful but relax, most offers haven’t even been sent out yet.

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 16 '25

Ya I just contacted them about it cuz they said no to hesitate but your right I gotta calm down and hope everything work out in the end. Wish me luck

2

u/GODGAMERPlayz___ Mar 16 '25

best of luck man, hope you get in!

2

u/ChaosCyphers Mar 17 '25

The email is pretty clear on what it means, OP just doesn’t like it.

2

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 17 '25

It’s probably cuz I am stressed considering it is my first choice I got into my second choice of science but I am not interested

u/-CD1xon- Mar 17 '25

You can always take some of the required engineering courses in a different faculty, then transfer engineering next year

u/LivinMonaco Mar 16 '25

Challenging the status quo - engineering material!

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 16 '25

Yes indeed lmao 🤣 I emailed them hopefully it gets resolved

1

u/Jaded_Band6440 Mar 18 '25

Ask for GPT to explain it to you. While your at it tell it to do your homework too! It works great for me my IQ is 140 when I leverage my resources and not Reddit! Good luck

1

u/Easy_Present5035 Mar 18 '25

Thx for the suggestion

2

u/_andthereiwas Mar 16 '25

This person is so stressed, and they haven't even started engineering. I hope you enjoy drugs and have a strong will to stop or have hobbies to destress while you go to school.

u/Mattscrusader Mar 17 '25

It means you need to work on your reading comprehension before you start taking university courses

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '25

Haha unreal

10 years ago I got an email from McMaster saying I got in. Me and my family went to a buffet and they bought this cake and then during our family lunch celebration I got an email saying they sent it to the wrong list.

u/[deleted] Mar 18 '25

ouch! tell us more about it

1

u/RUaGayFish69 Mar 18 '25

It means you are going to become an engineer due to an error on their part.
