Received this response:

I looked through the thread from last year and couldn't really find anything about it, so does anybody know when scholarship decisions start coming out? I know they're staggered, but even a vague start date of when the first offers are released would make me feel better!

Like March? People can't even start applying until January (FAFSA).

I'm close by Berkeley and it is storming like crazy today! Perhaps the wonderful admissions folks will be in tomorrow with some more acceptance e-mails! #wishfulthinking

I'm above 75th percentile for GPA and at 25th percentile for LSAT. My status checker still says under review but I got the call 2 days ago. I'm starting to get worried that I may have hallucinated the call...

Don't worry about it. My status checker took like five days to update after I got the call. Congrats!

Admitted this morning. I live on the east coast, but I happened to be visiting my SO in Berkeley when I received the email. Fate?!

SUPER EXCITED! Probably attending next fall.

FYI, I went UR on 11/17. PM for stats!

I submitted on 11/11, and it's been "under review" since 11/24.

XKCD, I just got the admitted students website email stuff, too. I made my ID but then it wouldn't let me log in to the admitted students website. I'll email them later but just curious - did anybody else have this issue?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
