I just took a look at the new data points from those who have updated their results on LSN. Granted, the sample size isn't very large (7 people) and I'm sure this will change after more people input their data, but it's interesting to note that all the 170+ scorers so far in this round of FR were either waitlisted or rejected.
Could be the 170+ scorers had weaker softs to be placed in FR in the first place and that the faculty are instructed to focus more on softs and less on the numbers.
Could be - dunno know what Berk is looking for in general, and if there's any sort of mentality shift once apps are passed on to FR. Would be cool to see more definitive data on this.
For Berkeley, GPA tells you more than LSAT.
Actually I don't think that's my case. My GPA is 3.6X but my LSAT is decent (170). Very average softs as well. It's a pleasant surprise but I have to admit I have no clue why Berkeley wants me.
