DR. DRE made this? This is the same Dr. Dre that thinks that UCI is the only California school worth going to, right?

My goal is to make pages for every California law school

Still missing USC. And I guess Hastings and Davis.

Just USC.

There are many law schools in California, I'm sure he is missing others.

Question for people from non-lower socioeconomic households: are you filling out the section of the application that asks for details on your high school years?

Is anyone else going to submit a 2 page personal statement to Berkeley/do they auto reject people who don't write a long enough statement? I know they allow 4 pages, but I feel like my essay is perfect at this length and adding anything else would just be rambling. What do you guys think?

I'm using the same one I'm submitting for other schools -- 2 pages.

Wasn't planning on it.

Has anyone who has submitted received a status checker yet?

When I emailed them, they told me that they weren't downloading the apps from LSAC till mid-October.

no idea about lsat yet, taking in oct, and gpa is a huge reach but trying anyways. wooh for hope

Guys, both my friend and I got in with high 3.4x GPA's and not spectacular LSAT scores. Believe me when I say that Berkeley does actually read the essays. In fact, it's the first thing they read. If your GPA was low because of engineering/math/science bkground or for whatever family/socioeconomic reason, they are actually quite receptive to such grounds -- and these reasons might be deemed in your FAVOR. Make sure your rec writers mention these things. And also do consider filling out the socioeconomic questionnaire if it will benefit you. It set both of us apart EVEN THOUGH we weren't even Californians.

Good luck! She's now at Boalt and I chose to attend elsewhere.

are you URM?

Really hoping that Boalt is more evaluative of the person not the numbers, as has been said, because depending on how the LSAT goes on Saturday this may be my best shot at the T14.

I can tell you from first-hand experience that they are. A friend of mine is there now. He had a stellar GPA but an LSAT that other T-14s wouldn't sniff. But he had an incredible personal statement. One that could probably be optioned to Lifetime.

Submitted!

I hope so too! uGPA not great, grad GPA good. LSAT? we'll see in a couple weeks =P. Boalt is kind of a reacher for me though.

Assuming you don't have a stellar LSAT, the bolded may unfortunately be your undoing even with an exceptional personal statement.

My GPA isn't stellar (.01 above median), but I should have an extremely strong/unique personal statement, so I'm hoping this will help.

It can't hurt.
