I was the only one in the "Oh The Places You'll Go" excel to say Berkeley. I HAVE ALL THEY HYPE CAL, ALL OF IT.
I was going to do it but I though my username implied my loyalty. I went for the diverse angle haha.

Edit: remember you rooted for UCLA that one time
I feel like we're amping up the hype a little bit! Guys let's commit to this. I feel like I get such a weird bond w the people in these forums bc they actually understand what I'm going through. None of my friends are apping law school the same time as me.
I will think of some new hype polls as I travel back to CA and then I shall organize a TLS virtual Berkeley happy hour to revel in the hype! #allinthistogether

Hype! Hype! Hype!

Any explanations for the lag time in decisions this year? Perhaps we are going to later see that app volume jumped and schools are now taking more time to evaluate their pools? Curious to know everyone's thoughts.

Things to do while waiting for decision #1: archive tons of gifs while trying to get to 100 posts

Anyone accepted or rejected yet?

Lighting candles, doing voodoo, and crossing fingers and toes for Dean Tom call tomorrow.
They mentioned that first admits were going out later this year because Veteran's Day fell on a later day. That means tomorrow ... right?

Nothing yet either way from what I've seen/read... we're all "patiently" waiting... I have the admissions Twitter on push notifications because they apparently tweet when first wave is released.

Where did you get the info regarding decisions being later because of Veteran's Day? Veteran's day is always the same day every year. Do you mean Labor Day?

There are no reported decisions. Berkeley tweeted a while back that they found the first admit but then never sent out decisions

Apologies, yes. I cannot brain properly this morning.

No worries. I know Michigan said that decisions would be late because of Labor Day but did not know Berkeley suggested the same. Even though Michigan said that they turned around and made a few offers the next day.

Hoping to see some acceptances today!

I hope so too! But an LSAC forum took place in SF yesterday and I don't know how involved Dean Tom was in it. We will know within two hours

It could still happen ... right? Right?

Definitely!

Part of me is wondering if they're just changing the whole jig this year and waiting until after T giving. Don't they know we have nosy relatives who need this information?! Have some empathy Berk, let me in now so I can make my socialist grandma proud.

The idea of waiting another two weeks makes me very sad.

The prospectus does indicate that decisions will start in December so they could be changing it up. I just don't know what previous viewbooks have listed. If it doesn't happen this week I will probably stop thinking that they could happen in November for sanity sake.

They're probably dinging us for creating hype that runs counter to their explicitly stated December decision timeline.

Can all of my fellow applicants share their stats and where Berkeley ranks among schools they've applied to? That would really help me out as a fellow applicant.
