It's a pretty big surprise to me, as I thought they were the Public Interest school and I think I have pretty good PI credentials. But, yes, if I had to chose one of S or B to be waitlisted at I'd certainly choose B.

Haha, that would certainly be an abrupt change from years past...but I love Cal so I hope so too. The main reason I'm still hunting for good schollies elsewhere is because I'm hoping to get a match.
