Congrats! Via the admitted students site, or what? Also, RD or ED?

Yeah, via admitted students site. Looks like the "offer package" was mailed yesterday (11/10) but I hadn't checked the admitted students site since Monday. I'm RD, stats in profile (though they are very slightly off).

I'm late to this party but my application was submitted a while ago. Crackberry... way to go. I'm jealous. Did you apply regular or early decision?

Regular decision. I'm not the first accepted. A bunch of people have already been admitted, all of whom, I believe, have been regular decision.

Congrats to those of you who have already been accepted! Just sent in my app tonight and hoping there's a spot in Ann Arbor for me too.

[John J. Rambo, Esq.]

Congratulations on the acceptance and thanks for the info. Here's hoping I follow in your footsteps...

Thanks buddy. Best of luck this cycle.

Woohoo! In at Michigan.

Congrats man. Are you going to consider UM?

I am actually A LOT more thrilled than I thought I'd be with a UM acceptance. Not only that, but I'm starting to think UM might be one of my top choices (behind Berkeley, of course).

Yeah absolutely. UM has grown on me a lot the last few months. I think for me, it's fifth behind YHSB, which realistically means it's #2 behind Berkeley.

Could you guys explain why Berkeley over UMich, and what about Chicago vs UMich?

I did my own research, and all of these schools are kind of in the same league give or take a little here and there. Just wanted to hear some opinions.

For me, location is a HUGE factor. I really think that I will love the Bay Area, for one. Everything from the people to all of the different things you can do around there - I really love California. Also, weather is a big factor to me and obviously Berkeley weather > Michigan weather.

Also, UCB has one of the best LRAP programs, in case I want to go into PI.

I haven't fully evaluated and researched the overall employment prospects from both schools, but I would assume that Berkeley's are not that much superior to UM's.

[John J. Rambo, Esq.]

UM's LRAP is no slouch either. You pay 35% of your salary above 36,000, if memory serves.

Not sure what Berkeley's looks like, except that they recently un-capped (de-capped? circumcised?) it. That's a good thing.

Wow, that'e better than I thought for UM.

Berkeley allows you to make up to 58K, second to only Yale (at 60K).

Haha you'll get yours man. Plus you've got Duke and Gtown in the bag already.

Yeah I agree about location. I went to Stanford UG and I love the Bay Area, so Berkeley is my top non-YHS school. I also want to do PI work so LRAP is very important to me, and Berkeley's LRAP is fantastic.

As for Chicago vs. Michigan, I haven't really decided yet. That would be a tough call (I grew up in NYC and don't want to go to law school there, so I think I'd pick Michigan over Columbia or NYU, though NYU could put up a fight given its strong PI programs). The reality is, if I'm in a situation where it comes down to NYU vs. Chicago vs. Michigan (unlikely), I'm going to have to visit all the schools and consider things very carefully before making a decision.
