Not sure if I'm asking in the right place but has anyone set up an appointment for Prospective Applicant Counseling? What does it entail?

Thanks!

Never heard of it... did Berkeley reach out to you about it?

Nope- it is on the website under "Plan your visit".

CONNECT WITH THE ADMISSIONS OFFICE
Applicant Information Sessions are offered in the fall, and we also travel throughout the country to provide information about our application and review process. You can check out our Recruitment Calendar to see where we will visit this fall.

You are welcome to meet with an admissions counselor when you visit, and you can make an appointment via our online appointment system.

Would love opinions on this or advice from anyone in a similar situation!

I'm planning on writing a DS for socioeconomic status for all schools that I apply. Berkeley, however, already has the socioeconomic questionarre. Does anyone think that it would be redundant to include a DS as well? I'm thinking that I still will, because I think a DS can say a lot more than like ten questions. Thoughts?

I think you answered your own question - but yes. You should definitely illuminate on your experience and how it's shaped your perspective and how it will influence you as a law student/practitioner.

Haha, I guess you're right. Thanks!

Maybe URM applicants want to reconsider, in light of these developments.

Are you able to squeeze a couple of lines into your PS?

A new poll will come Monday. LSAT took over my life for the last few weeks.
