Berkeley 2011 applicants Forum

[whitman]

i was under review Dec 6th and I did get the committee review e-mail, just as a point of reference since i feel like I was one of the later applicants to get the e-mail.

I also am definitely not an auto-admit, with only a 3.5 gpa and 170 lsat.

AAAGGH. Same UR date, same GPA, higher LSAT, no email. Dammit. Good luck to you, though. I'm rooting for you.

[kelesands]

let's remain positive that this is just a sly way of not telling us that our admittance email is on the way, hence the lack of CR. we're just that darn special.

[polinerdemory]

I've been under review since 10/26.

Just a heads up to all of those not receiving a FR e-mail yesterday.

It looks like Berkeley had two sets of FR last year: one for 2/18 and one for 3/12. (ditto for 2 years ago)

The 2nd group of FR seemed to be people from all different UR dates.

So, however slim it may seem, there's some hope left.

+1, there's still some hope!

How does everyone under committee review feel about the relative strength of their apps?

Dude you have had one badass cycle. How'd you do it?

[absolutazn87]

I'm a 173/3.65 that is still UR 10/18. No committee review for me yet

[SisyphusHappy]

UR 12/3 and now committee review. Seems like I was the last batch to get in.

169, 3.9.

[src42]

UR end of November, no committee review. 170/3.9x. I don't get it.

[neonx]

I'm also in CR now. I submitted a four page PS; not getting my hopes up.

[mss455]

UR end of November, no committee review. 170/3.9x. I don't get it.

Neither do I ... hopefully you're getting in shortly ... fingers crossed for you and me !!!

Yeah, who knows. I have above-average softs and I thought I had a good PS, but maybe Dean Tom didn't like it. Trying not to get down about it yet. Good luck to you!

[glitched]

You know... there is always the chance that the people who didnt go cr have actually gotten in but they just havent done this round of calling/emailing yet

Yehhh +++ve thinking ... I like that !!!

I have never been THAT stressed about anything my whole entire life, and I also think I might need therapy for exhibiting addictive behavior on TLS !!!!

[Flips88]

Yes, my theory is they finally decided who to let in, who to pass on to CR, and who to reject. I bet we'll hear some decisions tomorrow

Eh, maybe. I'm trying not to be too optimistic.

[sgtgrumbles]

Alright, I'll try this a third time...

Should I write a LOCI for Committee Review? Is anyone else? Did the people who were accepted out of CR in previous years write one? Bilbo?

[TurtlesAllTheWayDown]

I submitted a LOCI bc I had been UR since 10/18, but I also submitted an upward trend addendum to sweeten the deal. I submitted them about a week before I went to committee review. But I don't really know what I am doing so I don't imagine anyone should follow my lead.

I was wondering about that, too. I'd like an answer...

+1... I submitted fall grades, but I am afraid an LOCI from me will say "Oh hey, I didn't spend any time lengthening my PS for you, but now I regret it so here is a Why Berkeley..."
