Weird, I didn't get mine. You'd figure they'd send it in one batch wouldn't you? oh well.

Nvm, I just hadn't checked my email in the past 20 minutes. I got it too .

Hmm, they mentioned "We will help defray your airfare cost to attend." Even though they didn't mention it on the phone call. Guess this means i'm flying ?

Got the same email today, even though I never received a phone call. Maybe my phone was off?

Got the email today as well. Yayness. It's my first acceptance.

Didn't get a phone call. But I love the exclamation point on the "Accepted!" status update. It makes up for their lack of phone call enthusiasm

Congrats everyone!

Does anybody know if anyone has received a rejection letter yet? Or when Berkeley usually sends out the ding mails?

Been under review since early October.

It looks like rejections won't start rolling through until the 1st week in January.

I wonder why this is. Do they like to just sit on your application and stop you from making decisions in anticipation for their decision? It seems quite a few schools hold off on rejections until later.

For serious. I get the feeling there's going to be some mad TLSer meetups/bacchanalia at the ASWs in Spring Sorta like wedding crashers, only much nerdier.




Edit: more nerdy -> nerdier. Classic.

Maybe they are waiting to compare to the new pool of applications after the Dec. LSAT?

Maybe they are waiting for your file to get through committee review?

Boalt is pretty well known for actually having a holistic app review. Keep the faith, you never know!

Lol to anyone who read the comment, I just realized what it meant - whooops.

What does Dec3 mean? Is that December 3rd? If so, why is that date significant enough to distinguish on the axis?

I believe it goes by weeks. So Dec3 means "3rd week of December." I can see how that would be a little confusing.

Woooooow, I just realized this when you said it. The entire time I thought those numbers were referring to specific dates. And I'm going to eventually be a lawyer. Wow.

Congrats! The exclamation point was my favorite thing, too, topping the phone call. I really liked the letter today, though. General good feelings all around
