If I'm not mistaken, we went FR on January 12th, and decision today. So 19 days.

In after FR! Stats in profile. Did admitted students get an e-mail? It says it was mailed but didn't seem to get it.

Yes, you should be getting an email titled "Congratulations! You've Been Admitted to Berkeley Law School!"

So strange.. I just received the congratulations email in my inbox but it was timestamped 1:38 pm PST. Do you guys have gmail? Might have been a glitch in their server!

Ugh I saw all the acceptance emails posts and checked my email out of curiosity. Freaked out to see an email from Berkeley only to see results will be out Feb 24. I'm too tired for this. Also real salty because it's literally the day before Mock Trial Regionals (where are my fellow mockers?)

I wonder how many people go from FR to admitted. They could reject you before FR right?

Can someone tell me what it means when you get an e-mail that your application will receive further review and you will have a decision by a specific date? Is this a bad thing? Or does it just mean we're on the path to getting acceptance and this is the normal route? (Panicking a bit)

I also didn't write a Why Berkeley and my PS is 2 pages. I guess I shouldn't hold my breath.
Maybe your numbers are better than mine :P

Got the email about FR, says to expect a decision around the 24th. Email timestamped 4:33 am MT.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
