I am also UR 11/8. Has the committe review begun yet? I'm holding out for Berkeley. It has always been my dream school. I declined their UG offer of admission and planned on attending later for law school, so I'm not giving up hope! yet

I'm another UR 11/8. Hopefully there's still more to come.

In via status checker today, psyched out of my mind! Thought I was doomed because I applied on 12/28.

Dude. You had a 4.0 and a 170. You never should have stressed. Congrats!

Applied 01/08, went complete 1/10. I wonder if it's premature to be worrying already.

GPA is 50th percentile, LSAT is 75th percentile.

Though, since Berkeley is a very holistic school, I'm not sure having what would be ostensibly decent numbers for them should make me feel a little better. I spent a lot of time on my PS and should have really good recommenders though, including one from a prof I worked 12 hrs/wk for 1+ year.

Best of luck to you all waiting! I can attest to how difficult it is (it's been less than 2 weeks for me, for heaven's sake).

Yeah I don't have a good feeling about anything now. I been under review since 12/20 looks like WL for me

I got in yesterday, too--just realized this morning when I checked status checker.

174/3.9, UR 11/17

Looks like they took their time with me, but very happy to be admitted!

congrats to all those admitted!! do you think that berkeley is trying to raise its LSAT median this year? a lot of 170+ scores reporting... or do most of the lower numbers get admitted through faculty review?

Lower than both medians here, and I was admitted within a month of going complete.

Nice coastal live oak in your tar. I used to walk by that tree everyday.

First post on TLS, long time lurker!!!

Just got in via status checker, my first acceptance this cycle! I submitted 01/07, was UR 01/10, and was apparently admitted yesterday. That was fast!

174 (retake)/3.8x.

Woooo!!

Nope...I was actually wondering about that. Any idea how long it takes them to show up?

I'd imagine soon. Maybe they're making more decisions today and they'll send all the emails out tonight?

At least, I hope.

Makes me feel hopeful. You probably had an amazing PS and great softs, though. Congrats!

12/15 I think. Not really sure, I never really paid attention. Berkeley was a reach for me!
