Re: Berkeley Student Review?
They serve as counsels in adcomm. However they do not have votes, whereas the faculty members do.TIKITEMBO wrote:For anyone who applied to Berkeley, what did you select for the question:

I've talked with the students who are involved in the process, and they seem to take it pretty seriously. No 1L's are allowed to do it. In either event, I don't think you're conceivably helping your chances by checking no. That might simply mean they don't forward your app over to Committee Review and reject or waitlist you outright.

Good points. I guess I shouldn't worry too much. I'm sure they've got good people on it. Thanks for easing my mind.

I also selected yes. With my numbers going to committee review what I hope for.
