In via email! Huge splitter... way above 75th LSAT, significantly below 25th GPA. Thought I had zero chance considering Berkeley's reputation regarding splitters. Best. Day. Ever.

You're not the typical splitter. A 179 is very very very uncommon. And you basically have a 3.5, not high of course, but respectable. But anyways, congratulations. You deserve it, smarty pants!WhiskeynCoke wrote:In via email! Huge splitter... way above 75th LSAT, significantly below 25th GPA.

this gives me so much hope since i'm just above 25% for lsat and way below 25% for gpa and an URMBitterSplitter wrote:what would constitute as an early submitter in your opinion? just curious because I submitted around mid-november.

You're 3.5 171 right? I'm 3.57 170. I expect a ding but it's my dream tooslack_academic wrote:Ah man, I remember months ago when I first applied, bright eyed and deluded that I would be the special splitter to get some Berkeley love. Now I forget about Berkeley more and more with each passing day. The dream isn't dead yet, but I'm softening the inevitable blow.
Berkeley is still my top choice and don't think it would be possible to convince me to go elsewhere.

Last year I applied in November and received the email in February so I think if you haven't heard and applied September - November it could be bad.BitterSplitter wrote:what would constitute as an early submitter in your opinion? just curious because I submitted around mid-november.

Re: Berkeley c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013 cycle)
hey guys, just went under review.
Does this mean a decision is soon or is this more of a nyu thing where under review only means complete?
Also notification of admissions is phone call right? does status checker change prior?
Thank you!!!

Part of being a lawyer is doing research. Do some easy research and read these things before posting the exact same stuff in all the t14 threads.

But most acceptances up to this point have taken at least a month from the UR date to come in and mine a month and a half.

I really want a response, even if it's rejection.
But I might have to wait 2 more weeks until Feb. Screw that.

I went UR on 11/21. Admit email 1/14, 7 weeks later, so given the holidays disruption, roughlysinfiery wrote:The longer it takes to get a decision, the less your chances are.az21833 wrote:hey guys, just went under review.

UR since 11/13...no movement since. However, I did have them hold for December LSAT, not sure how this might have affected my position in the magical pile
