I think we should stop calling a Berkeley rejection a "ding" and start calling it a "Yoo," as in John Yoo. Yano, to make us rejects feel better about not going to this school

just got Yoo'd. 171/3.8 applied on the deadline so wasn't really expecting much

Looking at lawschoolnumbers.com, it seems like everyone who received a decision today was rejected...I wonder if that means that everyone who isn't already in FR is a [strike]ding[/strike] yoo at this point...

ding ding ding
was complete since 11/9 so I am glad to receive some sort of decision.

I believe you meant, "yoo yoo yoo"

I had been UR 11/30 until I got Yoo'ed today, so I feel your pain.

Is anyone planning on deferring their acceptance? I'm thinking of doing TFA first (already been accepted)

I'm not sure what TFA would do for you if you already have great acceptances.... Unless (gasp) you actually want to do some good and contribute. But, then, you could do that after law school and use Boalt's incredible LRAP while getting law-related experience.

Why do you want to do TFA? Trying to break into the T3?

Yoo'd earlier today (applied Jan). Wasn't expecting an offer, but I had to try.
Good luck to everyone else still waiting!

BlankC · Post by **BlankC** » Fri Feb 26, 2010 3:46 am

Ding! First ding of the cycle.

I was expecting a Berkberk ding though.

Applied January, #s: 169/3.4

just found out about Goodwin Liu's nomination for 9th circuit. can't say if this makes me more or less enthused for berkeley. i was looking really forward to (and even wrote a good paragraph of my PS talking about) working with Liu. but i guess on the other hand it's a good thing that berkeley faculty are being nominated as judges. anyone else have any thought on this?

Ding/Yoo/Tears/Whatever 168 / 3.85. Applied on 1/27 so it's not a shock, but still stings ; first of the cycle. Sigh.

OneKnight · Post by **OneKnight** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 8:03 pm

Just reporting my "Yoo" 2/25 (166/~4.0)

With the GOP obstruction in the Senate, he could very well be teaching for another year or more before he is confirmed.

Does anyone know when Berkeley's Scholarship Interest form is due?

los blancos · Post by **los blancos** » Sun Mar 07, 2010 5:05 pm

Repost from the FR thread: Would someone/anyone who got dinged via the first FR volunteer to PM me the message they send you? I wanna prepare mentally for this...

You haven't withdrawn your application from Berkeley?

Nope. I have to at least give my alma mater a chance to wow me at the ASW. Boalt was one of my top choices entering the cycle.

itsirtou · Post by **itsirtou** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 2:22 pm

Dinged today after being FR. Berkeley was probably my top choice and it's my first outright rejection so this one kind of hurts.

knola002 · Post by **knola002** » Thu Mar 11, 2010 2:24 pm

Also dinged today. Meh.
