Didn't get a call last year, got an email. So you might not get called.

It will probably be a steady flow over the next two days.

HILARIOUS
made me stupid laugh inside my very quiet office filled with very quiet people...

Hi, could someone clarify what CR1 and CR2 mean?

I first got the "In review email", then got the "administrative review" email this week. Is the first one CR1 and the second CR2? Sorry, I'm just a tad confused by the lingo used on these boards. Also, those lucky ducks who got the call today from the Dean, did you go under Admin. Review or just go from "In review" to "accepted"?

Thanks, sorry if this has been repeated ad nauseum, sometimes it gets a little overwhelming digging through all the posts looking for answers.

Hey vivi - So, you are in CR2. But you were never in CR1. Everyone first goes under review, and those who submitted and went under review earlier in the cycle were sent to administrative review in late January, in the first batch - CR1. Those who submitted and went under review later were sent to administrative review this week - that's CR2 (it just means the second batch, so it generally only indicates when you submitted, I think). Those who got admitted today had been in CR1.

Good luck!

This post is hugely accurate. However, if you make it to CR1 or CR2, you have already passed the administrative review step (which is Dean Tom and a few associates), which means you are neither auto-deny nor auto-accept.

You are too kind to my blantant misinformation. Thank you for the correction!

Not a problem. I feel like people go on the attack a bit too often here on TLS.

What's the area code of the admit call, guys? I keep getting bombarded with random 1L and 2Ls fielding questions.

Thanks! I never dared say it out loud before today, but Berkeley has been my top choice all along. It's just too fickle a beast to hang one's hopes on. I'm so there.
