Last year the number floating around was about 10% if you make it to committee review, fwiw.gobears!! wrote:I am not sure but i feel like they are the same?

P.S. this thread is much better than UVA and Penn. I cannot stand the bloodshed
The Penn thread is like being in WWI. Thank you Dean Tom for the radio silence - it gives me hope.gobears!! wrote:I am not sure but i feel like they are the same?

I bought into Dean Tom's description of Berk as the "Disneyland of law schools," so sometimes when I'm distracted I imagine myself there. I am barefoot with my arms hugging a bag of Trader Joe's granola and a few boxes of coconut water, all balanced on my legal textbooks. Lil B drops by the Tuesday yoga class at 10AM on the Boalt Lawn and asks me and my very attractive friends to guest star in a music video at the local animal shop. I live in a convent repurposed into graduate student communal housing. We eat quinoa. The temperature is always 73 degrees, and life could not be better.Snowboarder1588 wrote:gobears!! wrote:I am not sure but i feel like they are the same?

I'll provide the pita chips!Snowboarder1588 wrote:On that note....If dean Tom is reading this...Please let me in...I promise I will make you the best Hummus you've ever had as my sign of gratitude.
FTFY-because you know people at Berkeley are going to be adopting their animals, not buying them .musharraf wrote: I bought into Dean Tom's description of Berk as the "Disneyland of law schools," so sometimes when I'm distracted I imagine myself there.

But alas, I know the truth - bloodshed is coming.
Truth! I've been living in darkness on the east coast for far too long. I am blind, and at Berkeley I will finally see (cough cough Dean Tom, srsly hit me up sometime).koalacity wrote:FTFY-because you know people at Berkeley are going to be adopting their animals, not buying them .musharraf wrote: I bought into Dean Tom's description of Berk as the "Disneyland of law schools," so sometimes when I'm distracted I imagine myself there.

Same UR date. Personally, I'm curious what the next wave looks like before I get too concerned.omzster67 wrote:Sitting at UR since 12/5...getting very anxious as this is my top choice. I'm sitting at 25th LSAT and >75 GPA.
Included my Why Berkeley in with my application. Not competitive with my numbers so I thought I might as well put all my cards on the table. Wrangling an internship to include for a LOCI is a great update, IMHO. Might have to steal that idea....omzster67 wrote:Is it too early to submit a Why Berkeley or LOCI? I'm going to be starting a new internship/clerkship at an non profit advocacy firm, so I can tie that in as an update to my application. Thoughts?
Should've included one as well..not sure what I was thinking. Aaaaand damnit I hope you don't bump me out!Dingo Starr wrote:Included my Why Berkeley in with my application.

I am sure the lengthy wait is only because of the unusual quality of this year's class, Dean Tom has to work out the final logistical details of admitting everyone and creating a satellite Boalt on an incredibly luxurious and antics-filled yacht in the San Francisco Bay, a la The Suite Life On Deck. I'm positive this is the case.emmybee wrote:Such an anticlimactic week!
