Was this a large wave of acceptances and rejections? Just curious because I went complete on 2/1 and haven't heard back.

Trying to figure out where I stand as well. I was complete 1/6 and have had zero movement on the status checker since then.

Your app is still real young, I wouldn't get too caught up in worrying about dings and acceptances yet unless you want to gray early.

It took me as month to go from complete to under review and I applied mid Dec

March 10-12 (most questions about ASW have already been answered throughout the thread so if you have any try searching "ASW" or the dates in the search box)

Congrats to all the admits!

I wonder if Berkeley holds a grudge against me for picking a different school over them for undergrad...

Do I need to complete any scholarship interest forms to receive a merit scholarship? Thank you in advance for any replies.
I believe every student is considered for merit based scholarships. I am pretty sure the only thing you had to fill out for it was included in the actual application for admission. You should probably still fill out FAFSA and Need Access though, unless you have the means to pay COA and COL without loans?

I know this was mentioned earlier, but I don't think anyone knew the answer at the time. Does Berkeley have ASW set up this year so that prospective students can stay with current students? If not, does anyone have suggestions as to where I should stay while visiting? The stipend they give will not cover the entirety of my plane ticket so I am hoping I do not have to spend much on a hotel..

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

So with all the recent admits/rejects, does still sitting at under review at this point bode well or is this a bad place to be?

Just got acceptance via email today (applied 2/1/16), so I don't know if they're rolling some out today.

No mention of merit scholarships though. I noticed on the spreadsheet that no one has filled in scholarship info. Does Berkeley roll theirs out all at once? Or is a different situation.

Thanks in advance!

Same - also got dinged for UG so I'm going to be extra bitter if (when) I get rejected for LS.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
