Is a really good public school like Berkeley just crazy hard to get into out of state? I was well above the 75th percentile for both LSAT and GPA, and my softs were good enough to get into Columbia, Penn and NYU. Similar thing happened to me at UVA (wait list)

could be, or could be intangible factors over which you have no control. pretty sure berkeley, like higher-ranked S and Y, is regarded as something of a black-box, often rejecting perfectly [over-]qualified applicants right off the bat (as in, no W/L, which I think WOULD indicated YP). take a peek at past cycles on lsn, or even earlier posts on this thread - it's unfortunately all too common. (sorry about the ding, btw)
