Berkeley Law Coif info, public service announcement

As a public service, I'd like to spread some information re. coif at berkeley
* Boalt has changed the gpa formula from before. It used to be: HH = 5 grade points; H = 3; P = 2. (As one professor has said, that was back "when we valued excellence.") Now, it is HH = 4 grade points, H = 3, P = 2.
Now, for the numbers:
* Registrar herself told someone in class of 2023 that 3.33 would "likely" make coif.
* In the class of 2023, a GPA of 3.30 did indeed make coif, according to another administrator.
* In the class of 2020—a year when the minimum 64-graded unit requirement was suspended—a 3.31 made coif. This means that you needed a higher GPA than normal in 2020 to make coif-- and yet, a 3.31 still made it.
Hope this helps. What would add to this information?
* someone who made coif who got below a 3.30. (Please include graduating year!)
* someone who got between 3.0 and 3.3, who did not make coif.
These would help establish the minimum GPA necessary for coif.
