My app never goes complete Should I ask them why? Forum

[victorrrj]

I applied Berkeley on Dec 2, LAST YEAR. After a year, my app is still "received", though all the requirement is checked. No date change at all.
I am wondering if there is anything wrong with my app... Should I write an email to ask them about it? Or is it just that Berkeley doesn't change the status according to the process?

Probably. I submitted on 1/10 and file is under review as of 1/20

Or they glanced at my app and said "not worth my time"

I really like the school and I've got family there... Damn

email them politely.

I think you have good reasons to ask them

Is it a stretch school? They could have put you in a pile to review later in the cycle if you're numbers aren't that good.

After a year? As in you submitted on December 2nd, 2013???

If you mean December 2nd, 2014 it's probably not a big deal. Different schools have different status update timelines for different candidates.

They prolly feel bad admitting you and letting you ruin your life.

LSAT at their 75% but GPA is below the 25%. I do think it is a stretch
