Ugh. You're probably right. What a bummer. I am dying to hear back. They're my #1.

I keep looking at the status checker anyway hoping there will be some movement. Boalt is my top choice too and the wait seems like an eternity :(

Fingers crossed some magic happens in the next 24 hours!

I was praying for some magic today. I'm guessing we'll be waiting until next week now though, right? :cry:

Also WL. Between 50-75 for GPA and LSAT.

Seems like most people who heard yesterday were WL. Do you think this has to do with having already filled there class/applying late?

For the optional questions Berkeley invites students to answer and submit as "Supplemental Materials" for scholarship consideration, did people double space their responses?

Every application specifically stated the double-spacing requirement, but here Berkeley only asks for answers to be kept to under two pages. I realize this gives me room to make my case, but I want to avoid rubbing someone on the aid committee the wrong way.

I plan on answering all three and two double-spaced pages will be tough. Also, because of the Q&A format single spacing actually looks better to my eyes.

TIA.

I'm hoping for Friday, but berk was a reach anyway so I'm probably not chomping at the bit like you are. Good luck!

Yep. But only been waiting two weeks since going UR, so I don't know if I'm invited to this "still waitin'" party.

I didn't go UR until after Feb LSAT scores :wink:
Looks like from LSN last year that most decisions (at least for those who report on the site) were out by 3/24 - even for those that went complete early March.

Waitlist rankings just came out via e-mail. I got placed in the first quartile. Good luck all.

so does this mean they've likely filled their class? I'm still under review, and wondering if that means I'll just be getting dinged.
