It's very exciting. Only thing that rivals that is waiting to hear about scholly $. But I'm sure you two will share in that angst soon enough!Mr_Chukes wrote:Wishing you the best bro. I am as well.

sitting here in my robe, neurotically refreshing email... I'd be lying if I said FR didn't get my hopes up.Mr_Chukes wrote:Wishing you the best bro. I am as well.

A WL/reject would still be a relief for me and an accept would lead to months more of angst (as I try to figure out finances), so I'm just ready either way.

They could get stingier and still maintain medians by taking more splitters and reverse splitters (sacrificing 25th's) who have no other T14 options.Rigo wrote:How do you figure?goldenbear2020 wrote:As it is, they already have the lowest LSAT median in the T14, so it's probably not too hard to maintain a 165-166 even while being stingy with aid.Rigo wrote:Yeah. They can't just not negotiate. That's how they'd get a 164 median real fast.LawTweet wrote:Has anyone heard about money yet?
Also, I know Berkeley ended it's matching program, but do you think they are still friendly to scholarship negotiations w/ peer schools?
If they stopped negotiating without being way more generous with initial offers I don't see how they could maintain.
*and I'm saying they can't afford to get STINGIER.
Sure they could probably maintain if they stayed the same level of stinginess.

My status checker changed to "under review" as of 1/31, which is listed as the current status date.
Strangely enough, I just received an email informing me that my application "was processed successfully and is now under review."
I thought I have already been under review for nearly a month...Is this final review? Or my file was ghosted and now found....
Thank you!!
I'm worried that they sent us the wrong email. :/

Did we figure out if reject/WL tend to hear back before acceptances?

I'm sure this is somewhere above but I've been scrolling and can't find it. Does anyone know if the status checkers will be changed with the decision first or if we will get an email first? Trying to find out if I need to constantly refresh my status checker these next few days or not. Good luck FR fam!

Been following this thread for awhile. Finally decided to officially join in the chaos. I'm in FR and anxiously awaiting the 24th. I've never checked my email this many times a day in my life! The wait is agonizing! Hopefully we've all managed to avoid the ding wave for today and we will get news tomorrow.

I kept getting emails from schools like John Marshall saying Admissions office and it's pissing me off lol. I keep thinking it's Berkeley.

Re: UC Berkeley School of Law C/O 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
So far no one has reported an FR ding here, so either admissions is holding off until tomorrow or at the very worst holding off for Friday. It's really hard to predict a pattern for all of this. No idea why they would suddenly skip today for reporting admission results thoughBoyJord wrote:was there another Ding wave today? or is everyone going to hear back Accept/Ding/WL tomorrow?sweetsmellofjustice wrote:Been following this thread for awhile.
