I've heard that too but saw the past couple years on LSN and they were somewhat sporadic, so not quite sure.charles117 wrote:they're pretty stingy from what i heardAssasindowntheavenue wrote:Any idea how generous Berkeley is with schollies?

And they're apparently going to do things different this year now that their formal matching program is gone. So it's really anyone's guess.Assasindowntheavenue wrote:I've heard that too but saw the past couple years on LSN and they were somewhat sporadic, so not quite sure.charles117 wrote:they're pretty stingy from what i heardAssasindowntheavenue wrote:Any idea how generous Berkeley is with schollies?

That's a good point. I think I'm mainly wondering how they choose amounts for applicants, seeing as they aren't too LSAT (and to a lesser extent, numbers in general) focused, so much as interesting backgrounds/diversity. I saw some ppl with relatively low LSATs and GPAs get $105k all the way up to $150k, and some ppl with high stats get considerably less. So like you said, seems it's anyone's guess.Rigo wrote:And they're apparently going to do things different this year now that their formal matching program is gone.

LSAT, GPA, Personal Statement, Diversity statement, LOR, work experience, and diversity are what I can think of as of right now lol.goldenbear2020 wrote:"Contrary to the popular belief that only LSAT/GPA combinations are used to determine scholarship merit, we use an holistic review process to determine our scholarship awards.Assasindowntheavenue wrote:That's a good point.

I wonder if FR admits get less schollie money compared to those that are admitted directly by Dean Tom/Admissions Office?

Admit checking in. Would be my first choice if they matched or came close to my michigan full tuition scholly. I want to be in the bay. Im really hoping that despite their matching program being gone, they will still negotiate a tiny bit. happy to see most haven't had scholly offers yet.
