Berkeley c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013 cycle) Forum

yeah... I don't want to induce panic though. Just look at the award details on the finaid page. It'll let you know if it's need based or a matching scholarship.

Looked at the Award Details and it says "Grant - Law" under category "Other Gift Aid". Does it specifically say matching in yours?

Then that's finaid. Mine says matching scholarship.

Thanks. That clears things.

I can't tell what's on the schedule for the general populace, but it looks like dinner from 6-8. If there isn't anything official after I know where all the bars are in the area. Hit me up on FB.

Wait, Berkeley sends a "you don't get need-based aid" email? Cuz I didn't get no aid AND I didn't get no e-mail. Feeling mad left out.

That's from 2010 though so I think it could be a liiiiittle outdated.

Yeah I mean I'm ALL for being wary and debt-averse but this was also when the bottom of the economy fell out so things are probably sliiiiightly better.

Has literally only one person heard back about matching scholarships, and it was a denial?

I'm getting pretty scared... like twinkle, Berkeley is my dream (aside from the hail mary that is Stanford), but I can't justify going there at sticker when I have $$ from CCN.

Going several pages back it seems at least one got matched in full, one partial, in additional to the denied one. Several reportedly have full ride, but I suspect that they're combinations of aids including matching.

Just withdrew from Berk. The email felt like we were making a deal, because they sent back a one word response: "Done."

Did anyone else get an email about breakfast at the Dean's house on Sunday?
