Yeah I got mine on Saturday, woot!

It's a bit underwhelming, but it's better than Cardozo's was D:

Has anyone's packet included a scholarship award? Mine did not

Nope although from what I have read and heard, UCH doesn't give much scholly $ out.

The residency form is ridiculous!! So long.

And i'm still confused if the Hastings Grant is solely need based? Anyone have any idea?

yup

So I'm a bit stressy. I applied to UCHastings and Davis and really really hope I get accepted by one (both would be great but I'm not greedy!). I'm an international applicant so I don't actually have a GPA and I read elsewhere on TLS that generally schools just look at your LSAT and assume you have an appropriate GPA to get in. I guess my question is: with a 163 LSAT and a degree from a top British university do you think I'll get in? I've been looking at LSN but without a GPA its pretty pointless.

I'm not sure my personal statement is that good. I unfortunately sent off applications before I came across this forum. Do you think I could email them asking would they like a Diversity Statement etc? Or is it stupid to hassle them?

I'm really hoping an acceptance letter is winging its way across the Atlantic right now but I'm not all that confident.

The Dean at Hastings made it very clear when I was visiting that they do not look kindly upon additional materials after your application has been submitted. Not sure about Davis.

[danicalifornia]

i wouldn't recommend sending anything extra to hastings. they aren't fans of that at all.

good luck!

got my acceptance packet yesterday (or the day before...idk i didn't check the mail until yesterday). I am underwhelmed...but SF would be a nice place to live if I don't go to the east coast...

my guess is you'll get into at least one of the schools

more likely Davis cause their median LSAT is 163 (they like GPA more than Hastings) the median at Hastings is 164 so w/o an above median GPA your app may not be as enticing (though they'd both love your out of state tuition)

I wouldn't worry about a diversity statement or personal statement, that stuff doesn't matter a lot

[mushroom3]

just got the acceptance letter! i freaked out though bc it was in a small envelope and i had not gotten a phone call so i just assumed it was a rejection

Gotta say I'm a little worried. I applied to Hastings Mid-November(week before Thanksgiving) and still haven't heard anything back, is anyone else on this doleful boat with me?

[krad]

Got my packet yesterday... Hastings is DANG expensive OOS, blah

[crit_racer]

How long did it take everyone to receive your decision after you got the e-mail saying your were complete and under review? Did you actually get your decision within a few weeks liek the e-mail said?

Thanks, I guess I'll just sit tight and keep waiting!

I applied November 18th so right around then too. Not a peep out of them since they acknowledged my application unfortunately.

[cowgirl_bebop]

Is Hastings particularly slow or something? It seems like a munch of you guys have been waiting for some time. I didnt apply until Jan 14th, so it looks like I am in for a bit of a wait

Same boat and it's my only solid local option I have left. (Since Boalt, unsuprisingly, rejected me.) I know they're going to be bitches about my gpa but if I get waitlisted I at least want to know so that I can beg them to take me and allow me to continue my perfect bay area lifestyle.

i just heard back from them yesterday and i went complete and under review on 11/5, so i wouldn't worry too much bc hastings is just slow

[ilovesf]

I sent in my app 10/20, and I'm not that strong of a candidate.. so it definitely isn't rolling, I haven't heard back yet. Like most schools, if it takes a long time to hear back then they are just making up their minds.

[swordsfish]

Got dinged yesterday via snail mail. Went complete around 11/15. LSAT is at median and GPA a few points under 25th percentile. A bit discouraging since this is the first of the mid tier 1 schools I've heard back from Better luck to everyone else!

[lisavj]

Accepted today!!

UR since 11/15 in case anyone is wondering, was getting pretty worried because I'm at/above 75 for both.
