Well, I can't create an ID because I guess I already have one?? I applied to Cal years ago so I guess I have to figure out what 17 year old me picked as her username and password...

Glad to here, I'm on the same boat. Is this technically reverse splitter?

of course there is hope for reverse splitters at berk -- high gpa's with a so-so LSAT is exactly what they're going for

someone should make a class of 2018 thread so people who are still applying dont have to hear all this accepted ppl talk

Hmm.. I submitted my application on 11/23th. It still says "We have received your application".. Should I email them or something?

Yes. I had the same issue, turned out some of my information hadn't reached them due to an issue with my app on the LSAC side. Email admissions@law.berkeley.edu.

Just emailed them because I have that same status ("We have received...") since early November, which feels like an awfully long time.

Got an auto reply: "The office will be closed for the holidays beginning December 22. We will open again on January 5."

FYI, everyone!

I would probably give them a call just to be on the safe side...I submitted on 11/21, went complete 11/24, and was under review immediately thereafter. But I'm sure it varies, nothing to stress over or that a quick call wouldn't clarify

Okay Guys, I really need some help here.

So I emailed them and they told me they are holding my application because I took the December LSAT.

And I ask them to complete my application with my June LSAT and forget about my retake.

Here is their reply:

"Sorry, we do not accept June LSAT scores. They arrive too late in our process."

They do not accept June LSAT? So that one doesn't count anymore???!! What if I bombed my retake?!

I have a really good chance to get in with my current stats though. Help me out!!

They definitely misunderstood you and thought you meant June 2015. I'd just email them saying you wish to be considered on the basis of your prior LSAT score and specify that it was the June 2014 test.

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.
