Berkeley Law School c/o 2018 Applicants (2014-2015 cycle) Forum

[season0716]

I did some research on last year's Berkeley thread. The first wave of FR emails was followed by a wave of dings.... Best of luck everyone.

Dings to the FR people or Dings to the non-FR people?

Read the same thread... Looks like there were tons of dings to the FR1 folks last cycle. :/

But those wouldn't be following immediately now, right? I think the wave referenced above would be to non-FR people.

Correct the dings came for the non-FR folks. FR FOLKS seemed to have received their decision on the date mentioned in the FR email (more or less)

The link takes you to the portion of last year's thread where users posted dings one day after the first wave of FR emails.

Oops, sorry, I misunderstood. Not sure about that!

Soo consensus is if you did not move from Under Review to Faculty Review, and have not been outright accepted - you're probably out?

Read 20+ pages of last year's thread and was just getting to UR dings after 1st wave of FR accepts/dings so I haven't been able to confirm yet, but as far as i know that is not necessarily true. You need FR to be WL, but if still UR then it can go either way (in or ding)

[Iwanttolawschool]

I attempted to read a few pages, but appreciate you doing some good work!

FR today. UR 12/15. 75<LSAT, 25<GPA<50

Looking at last years forum we should expect a lot of movement in the next week and a half. Plus today is a Wednesday. Come on Berkeley!!!

When one's application goes complete does the status checker actually say "complete" anywhere?

Anyone else get an oddly specific letter from the Dean stating app is under review which will begin on a specific date (for me it says tomorrow) and I'll hear back on a decision on or before Feb 6th?

Yes, that's the faculty admissions review committee (FR) letter a bunch of us got. There's some good discussion on this page and the last about who got it/what it means.

So what happens to the rest of us who went UR a while back (12/8 for me) but didn't get a letter for FR? Are we either autodings or autoaccepts?

Not necessarily. Last year it looks like they had two waves of FR, so if you didn't get in the first one you may get into the second one

[RGN121999]

For people who are FR, did your status checker update?

[antiworldly]

For people who are FR, did your status checker update?

Yes. Under mailings, I now have "Faculty Committee Notice 01/13/2015" and the date of under review changed.

Same here. Also at the top of the page is "Your application at UC Berkeley Law School has passed an initial administrative review and has been selected for further consideration by the Faculty Admissions Committee."

Looks like its all quiet on the western front today.

[RGN121999]

Thanks for the responses! Still nothing here...

My notes say that it changed from "Received" to "Complete." It took about 2 weeks for that to happen for me.

ok yeah mine has taken a while. Good to know.

[ErgoSum]

Good luck everyone

[limeo]

Checking in. UR as of 1/5, no updates since.

[hearsay77]
