We could probably start a club at Boalt...something like the "Non-Laude Law Club." Also, you beat me in this, but not by much. But if you include LSATs in the competition, I think I retain the belt in the "WTF? He's non-urm?" battle royale.law_app_noob wrote:In.... Lowest GPA ever admitted? I must be in the running?

Waitlisted... And annoyed because this keeps happening. I was already waitlisted at Duke, UVA, UMichigan, and Columbia.

Have you submitted a LOCI at UVA? I bet they'd admit you after you send one in. They most likely wait listed you to YP. I almost had the same thing happen to me, but I submitted a Why UVA and got in a week later. I can almost guarantee I was a WL.spyder11 wrote:Waitlisted... And annoyed because this keeps happening.

Re: Berkeley c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013 cycle)
I've been debating sending LOCIs to all these schools. The only problem is I already got a full ride at Northwestern for their Accelerated JD. What are my chances of getting any significant merit aid after being admitted off a waitlist?TigerChick13 wrote:Have you submitted a LOCI at UVA? I bet they'd admit you after you send one in.

Checked - there are no typos. Also I was admitted to NYU and had interviews with Harvard and UChicago; so I doubt typos are the issue.ManOfTheMinute wrote:Weird....

I'm not sure about other schools, but I know UVA is very generous with scholarships, even with people admitted off the wait list. If you submit soon, you may be in the running for the next round of scholarship decisions, which are happening in mid-April.

I guess with a sub-3.0 GPA I should be glad for the waitlist.law_app_noob wrote:In.... Lowest GPA ever admitted? I must be in the running?
Also, MOTM, I am sorry to hear of your loss, although with an acceptance at Stanford I suspect you'll be alright.

Waitlisted!
Will likely be withdrawing soon as I know they'd never match UVA's scholarship at this point anyway.

Dinged. Congrats to admits, good luck to the waitlisted, and maybe I'll see you at a different t14 in the fall to my fellow dings!

Yep. Dean Tom said that the most they have ever accepted off the waitlist was 40.JedBartlet wrote:My first waitlist of the season! So pretty much unless your in the top quartile (~75 people) you can forget the B I'm guessing?

Is the FR2 decision wave over? Anyone in the FR2 hasn't received word? I didn't get any email or voice mail. Unfortunately I'm abroad so even if they called me, I wouldn't know.

Absolutely shocked. Admitted via status checker.
Never tailored my app for berkeley, so I always thought I was going to get WLed after FR. I also have weak softs, and people who get admitted after FR are usually with strong softs and relatively lower stats.

I would definitely say I fall into the weaker stats, stronger softs pile.
