Haha, no, it's not creepy. I'm pretty sure we're all stalking each other at this point, right? (Juuuuust kidding!) Someone misread something I wrote on a thread (I forget which one) and thought I was saying that I had gotten in. So far I am replyless for all 11 apps.

3.7 / 171 replyless? Holy dear motherlord.

I only have 1 and I applied in Sept.

I only had one until today (Now I have three mind you) and I applied sept too. They will come, don't get too worried just yet.

this might be a stupid-naive question, but did anyone miss a call from a berkeley number (that belonged to dean tom in 1999, according to google haha, and may still be his number)?

i have a missed call from a little before 7 and clearly can't call now, but i'm like... not an auto-admit... at all... and i'm half-sure this is a mistake. to add to my confusion/terror/excitement, i don't have any voicemails. i'm going to call at noon est, but that seems VERY far away.

basically: did dean tom (or the lady calling on his behalf) leave voicemails for anyone?

That's what I usually tell myself, but today my lack-of-sleep-ness got to me. Now I wonder if I will dream about worrying tonight.

I feel like I have a great chance with Berkeley. If I don't get a call soon I am actually going to start worrying for real.

I doubt it's any consolation, but I WAS thinking the same thing. Hopefully we will both be proved right tomorrow.

I am no expert but I would be surprised if you didn't hear this week. Your numbers look tailor-made for Boalt (I know it's more than numbers but i'm betting you're an all-around good guy as well )

[moneko]

in by phone around 3pm )))) i had been doing a good job of not worrying about it until i saw that 510 number and freaked out
cal alum, love the school already

[gymboree]

Congrats to those admitted!

It's 2 weeks pre-finals and our study group was just talking about how just one short year ago we were in your shoes. Sending you positive thoughts - good luck everyone!

[tea_drinker]

wow, congrats everyone.

[re-applicant]

Is there any kind of picture emerging about the kind of numbers that are getting accepted? I got in with a 25-GPA and >75 LSAT, which makes me seem like an unlikely candidate for Boalt. I'm trying to figure out whether they're doing things differently this year or if I can infer good things about the rest of my application.

[hellome]

i submitted so early why not meeeee
sorry guys but i feel miserable

[Aggiegrad2011]

Looks like all the people today were high LSAT folks.

Above median GPA (slightly) and above 75th LSAT I think

Call them tomorrow? I missed a call around 3:30 from an unknown number and I called it back.

[tea_drinker]

Knock, I am surprised you got the Berkeley love given your avatar and how the Big game turned out last Sat.

[dooterdude11]

I'm In as well! Got the phone call while I was at work. Had to sprint to the bathroom to take it!

[cigrainger]

What's the deal with the admitted students website?

What's the deal with the admitted students website?

Wait for the email around Dec. 10. It'll have the info.

What's the deal with the admitted students website?

I was able to log-in with my Calnet ID (I went to undergrad there so I already have one).

[lakerfanimal]

Congratulations to all of you!! I really hope the rest of us get calls soon too, I wouldn't have to obsessively check this site anymore haha.

That fits me, except I have at 75th LSAT. As I read from last year, most pre-thanksgiving folks had 171+ or >75th. So maybe I am getting my hopes up too early.

I guess after submitting in Sept. I am just getting impatient since a lot of you are getting good news.

I am? You sure that's me? lol I think my LSAT is just 1 point shy of the threshold... same goes for H at this point. I have very long WE in the field of law I want to pursue, I am sure I have a great shot at getting in, I just don't know if I would this early. I guess going through decision withdraw pretty bad All my other targets are mid-late December at best.

Almost makes me want to use some of those fee waivers ...

[forward]

My GPA is above 75, LSAT just below. Submitted and Complete on 11/1... I'm hoping to hear this week, but it might be a bit premature.
