Bleh. Didn't get it.

Just find out?

Phone call? E-mail?

Come on Berkeley, end my months of waiting.

STILL WAITING!!!

You have to reply to the Matching award by April 30, FYI.

how did you find out about your matching offer, amy?

A brief e-mail yesterday saying I got it, and the official paperwork by e-mail today.

I didn't get any matching money from Berkeley. It's too bad I sent the unofficial admission form. I'll probably withdraw tomorrow.

did they just email you? when/howd u find out?

I know this irrelevant, but I called their fin aid office several times and no one ever answered. I left a message that did not get returned. Finally about 6:45 central time, I got an email telling me I didn't get it.

It's annoying that they kept stringing me along. It started out as my first choice in this process, but I'm unimpressed with the way they have handled the scholarships.

Anyone hear anything today? I'm still waitin' and beginning to lose hope.

Was told more answers to come Friday.

Do you think by accepting you really have to withrdaw from the waitlists of other schools? could not doing it backfire?

FYI: I just spoke with someone on the matching scholarship committee and was informed that they're not meeting again or sending out decisions until Tuesday.

Thanks so much NerdProject! Now I don't have to compulsively check my e-mail every few minutes waiting for the inevitable no.

I heard today via e-mail. I didn't get the scholarship, which is really unfortunate because I want to attend Berkeley but feel guilty choosing it over schools that gave me significant scholarships. I think I might have submitted too large a scholarship -- if they don't have that much money to allocate it would make sense for them to give it to more people.

I might end up at Berkeley anyway... but it would have been nice after the absolutely terrible financial aid package that they gave me to have even some small dent in the cost of attending.

You probably don't get a choice. If you accept I bet they get a list from LSAC of the schools you applied to and send the schools notice of your binding decisions.

I am going to have to agree with Kohinoor on that one. I wish it wasn't so, but come April 30, if status quo remains, I will be accepted UCB and withdrawing from everything else.

Has anyone else who submitted a request before April 1 not hear back? Should I call? It was a wimpy request to begin with, so I'm not expecting anything, but it would be nice to know anyway.

In a very similar boat here weighing Berkeley vs. money elsewhere. Berkeley is so nice, but it's tough to figure out exactly how much that should mean in dollar terms.

+1

No news is good news?

Except that my other scholarship deadlines are looming...

Maybe this person? http://www.lawschoolnumbers.com/coqui

Profile is on my LSN watchlist and I noticed the Berkeley money showed up yesterday as well as withdrawal "W's" for all other pending applications.

No text updates in additional info section, however, so maybe these are updates a couple of days/weeks late?

I sent my scholarship offer letter a few months ago and sent my financial aid offer letter as soon as I got it (March, I believe), and have not heard back.

Berkeley apparently just opened up the bank for someone else: http://lawschoolnumbers.com/OperationAwesome

I still haven't heard anything and thought it might be worthwhile to bump this to see if any others are still waiting. Is there is anyone else who still hasn't heard?
