Mine was changed after I got my phone call (but I hadn't really checked it before so maybe it could have changed?)

Well from these new graphs http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 7&t=139015 it looks like Berkeley decisions should start coming faster over the next few weeks! I sure hope so :D

Berkeley gives two extra page sfor a personal statement. If you want them to know you want in, use the page limit.

I'm a splitter with 171/3.3, would Berkeley really throw out my application?

I'm an international student, tri-lingual, and have extensive experience in a human rights organization.

I really do want to go to Berekely, since I have deep interest in environmental law.


Sensing from all the threads, Berkeley won't accept low GPAs..

and that's killing me..

I was accepted with a just under 2 page personal statement.

I am excited to go back to work tomorrow because work day = week day = admissions offices open. Even better? The time change between the East Coast and the West Coast is a great motivator to not fall asleep at my desk around 1:30 pm...

Thank you law school admissions process for improving my life.

Thanks Knock!! I sure appreciate your sticking around the thread even after acceptance. btw, I'm cursing the day I chose such a long and annoying-sounding username. Call me Habit :wink: (or something)
