That is awesome! Congrats!! Is that a full match of your Dean's $$$?

Thanks, it's actually more... The Dean's scholarship was for $50,000.

Ruh-roh. Berkeley better be prepared for a flood of calls first thing tomorrow morning.

Kronk - what did your Chicago offer get raised to?

60k -> 75k.

how'd you make that happen? just curious.

Just emailed my situation and reasoning to Karla Vargas and then actually ended up meeting with her personally as a sort of random aside (not sure how much that helped).

[Kronk]

Also, I'm super jealous of the match.

I asked Berkeley to match my Duke offer of $90,000 and I expected them to respond with a laugh.

Instead, they just responded by offering me a Full-Ride plus a $10,000 living stipend

OMG! That is incredible. Does this move Berkeley above Stanford?

[smov_operator]

Thanks. No I didn't call in or anything. I didn't really take the matching scholarship thing all that seriously since my numbers weren't amazing and I had heard they tended to reject larger offers.

I was just about to order some Stanford gear and call my cycle a wrap. Now I'm not sure what to think.

Holy Sh!t. That is amazing. Congrats! Guess I better start praying now.

Edit: How did you hear? Email?

Sorry for all the questions, but when did you submit your Matching App? I was kind of slow, had it ready to go last week but the finaid and admissions offices were closed all week for spring break. Sent it first thing yesterday morning.

Not a problem. I sent my in on 3/7 with no word until today.

I submitted on the first or second day that they had the matching form available, but I think it doesn't really matter if you submit now-ish, as the first evaluations are supposed to come out April 5th-9th. They said they are prioritizing people with scholly deadlines. Maybe URMs as well as aren't smov and legacy both URM? Anyhow, I wouldn't worry about it if you get it in soon.

How come BoalTTT didn't get a name change?

[crackberry]

How come BoalTTT didn't get a name change?

Because it's not worthy of one.

In all seriousness though, I am confused by some of the name changes. Why is Michig@n Hogwarts? And why pick Corne!l to be Princeton Law? And why is NU the People's College of the Law? Wouldn't UCLA/USC be better for that?

I would've named NU AARP Community Learning Center or something.

Totes, did bro. Just take off two of the TTs.

John Yoo University.

That name change works better for "Berkeley" than it does for "BoalTTT". A- for effort, though.
