soooooo... tomorrow?

Looks like that's the trend.

[Pishee77]

Do FR decisions normally come out at the stated date in the email? Or is there merit to obsessively checking the status checker prior to February 19th?

+1 I would like to know too!

Me too!

[Arrow4Christ]

Fingers crossed for acceptances tomorrow!

[pcthenls]

I am glad other people's days are equally consumed with thoughts of tomorrow.

[Synch]

Tomorrow, tomorrow, can't wait for tomorrow...tomorrow's a day awaaaaaaaay

Don't quote me on this, but I thought that last year there were some FR folks who started getting notified a few days before (like maybe Feb. 14).

Interview with Berkeley Law students here: http://youtu.be/UWya-liCcLE

Though, as a Berkeley undergrad alum who had friends at Berkeley Law and was generally close in geographic proximity to Berkeley Law students, I'm not sure how representative of the Berkeley Law students this video really is... I sort of resent that it reaffirms the "Bezerkeley" stereotype... Then again, Berkeley does have its fair share of crazies so ionos. Ha!

Lately I feel like a little kid on Christmas Eve, counting down the time until I can sleep and hope good news awaits in the morning.

And realizing you woke up too early and it's like effing 5am in cali the presents aren't ready...

[californiauser]

expecting my ding sometime this morning...

[China Spy]

Before I applied to Cal, wednesdays were just hump days. Now they're the highlight of my week.

[Arrow4Christ]

Once again, a Wednesday morning has severely hampered my productivity

[gma221]

I'm way more excited for today than I probably should be... especially considering what GPA I applied with. I just want it SO BADLY.

[californiauser]

According to last year's cycle, today's corresponding day was a bunch of non-FR dings, so those of us on FR might be waiting another week

Okay, this has made me way less excited for today.

What does FR mean?

I checked the TLS Abbreviations sticky but didn't find it...

Faculty Review. Berkeley admits some applicants outright, but subjects others to a faculty review process of which about 10% or so applicants (correct me if I'm wrong) make it through.

Is that accurate?

Yeah where are you pulling that stat from?

it's from an interview with one of the dean's, too lazy to find it right now -- but I did a few weeks ago to verify veracity: it's legit

Looks like 10-15% or so.

http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 7&t=176984

According to this, 200-250 people are admitted out of around 1500. That's like 13%.

From the quote, it seems like FR is the midway limbo b/w accept and WL.

[Pishee77]

I think more like 15% get admitted through FR. I know big difference.

But Boalt's overall acceptance rate according to lawschoolnumbers is 13% so I don't know why people are particularly freaked out about FR.
