thank you and congrats!

This is probably covered elsewhere, but how long has it been taking people to go under review after "complete?"

It took me 14 days: I submitted 11/17, went complete 11/28, and just got an email saying I'm under review as of 12/12!

Thank you much!! We have the same "complete" date-- hopefully we will both hear back soonish!

Virtually the same timeline - think I submitted 11/18, but complete 11/28 and under review 12/12/

I submitted 11/23, complete 11/28, no under review email yet. Really hoping Berkeley will be my Christmas present anyway though.

In all fairness wouldn't that have been 9pm on the west coast?

It was at 3AM for me in NJ

Seems like next wave of decisions won't be coming out until next week then?

Hmm so since you went complete the same day jebbush and I did, but submitted your apps later, maybe that means you should be getting a UR notification soon this/next week!! Hope we all hear back soon too

I applied about a month ago (in between 50 and 75 for both LSAT and GPA) without a "Why Berkeley"... would it look bad to submit one to admissions now? Silence from some of my top schools is making me anxious lol

I submitted mine November 1st, and it hasn't even moved from received to complete. Should I send them an E-mail?

I wouldn't yet because I know a lot of adcomms get annoyed at these questions. Maybe it'll be okay if your app is still incomplete in a couple of more weeks? Did you take the Dec. LSAT and are you waiting on your score? Or did you check if the school requested your CRS yet? Also just double-check to see if all your required materials/documents got sent because that could be the reason why your application hasn't gone complete yet.

Hey all, been under review for around two weeks now. Out of curiosity does anyone know how long the review process normally takes?

Took me about three months, but I applied pretty early. So it may be a bit faster for you now that there's been some movement from admissions.

Last year I applied 12/3 and was rejected early February

Cool! I applied early November so maybe I'll get my rejection out of the way early January. Happy new years to me!

Anyone have experience with how long it takes to get a fee waiver from Boalt? Circumstances have changed and CA schools may be an option so dropping a late application.
Requested a military fee waiver, but its the same online form as TFA/ Peace Corps, etc...
Trying to figure out how many days I should be waiting without hearing back before sending a followup email as my application is ready to go.

I don't remember exactly how long it took them to send me a military waiver after applying for one, but I know it was noticeably longer than any other school I requested a waiver from. Probably about a week.
