Any chance they'll release normal UR decisions today? Or are we expecting this weekend to be all FR decisions?

I'm guessing they'll be too preoccupied with FR.

[antiworldly]

FR tomorrow, so we'll see!

[Dipper]

Welp, tomorrow it is then.

The lack of acceptances on LSN/ITT/anywhere is giving me hope, but I'm still convinced I'm gonna get waitlisted.

Snow, are you a splitter?

Nope. Maybe a little of a reverse splitter. But I'm above 75th for both medians, so I'm gonna be bummed if I get waitlisted. How about you?

You've definitely got a great shot!

I'm splitter-ish. Berk hates low GPAs, and they WL'd me two cycles ago. I don't think my extra WE and 4-page PS is going to convince them this go-around.

[ub3r]

I'm in a similar boat. UChicago (to which I'm not applying) and Berkeley are the only two schools where I'm above the 75th for LSAT and below the 25th for GPA.

[shay2171]

Yep, I'm a splitter. Got into some backend T1 and all T2's I wanted with scholarships, but I just know I'll get the rejection, or at best WL.

[rouleur]

How long has everyones applications been under review?

UR since 11/19.

My application sucks more than yours... I've been UR since 11/6

[BroncBaseball33]

UR since 11/17 and currently freaking out about tomorrow haha. fully expecting a rejection but hoping for a FR2

[ticklemesilly]

Jeez i'm not even FR and I'm excited for you guys.

[Ris19]

UR since 11/17 and currently freaking out about tomorrow haha. fully expecting a rejection but hoping for a FR2

I'm right there with you, UR 11/17, no FR yet. We got this!

Haha I hope so. I'm gonna keep jack on reserve for the impending situation. Cheers!!

For those of us not FR (because we applied in January), when do we find out if we are getting pushed to FR2? Can't find this information in last years thread but possibly need to do more digging.

[shay2171]

no idea, same boat. Probably didnt need to type this.

I answered my own question- for those of us not in FR1 but wondering when we know whether we will be FR2, people last year got notified of FR2 on 2/21. Then a bunch of non-FR acceptances/rejections came out on 3/5 and then FR2 decisions came out around 3/10. So we gots lots of waiting to do waahhh

FWIW i do think they care about personal statements

Best of luck to those who receive a decision tomorrow!

Best of luck to those who receive a decision tomorrow!

I've been going to sleep around 4am and getting up at 7 to check emails/checker/TLS for the past couple days all because of Berkeley.. (it wasn't so bad before.. maybe 2am?)

So I hope it's tomorrow... I need sleep.

(And then Berkeley throws a true curveball and sends decisions LATER than 2/6... that'd be how the TLS uprising of 2015 begins!)


Best of luck to all! ^^

[NotASpecialSnowflake]

Wel

(And then Berkeley throws a true curveball and sends decisions LATER than 2/6... that'd be how the TLS uprising of 2015 begins!)

I mean they did say on or around February 6th. Maybe by around they mean two weeks later

[quadsbaby]

There is hope for splitters! I was at 25th percentile for GPA.

Did they? Hm... I will choose to ignore that new piece of information and hope for the best

[jawsjawsjaws]

Any guesses on what time they'll send out the decisions today?

[mindthegap]

Any guesses on what time they'll send out the decisions today?

I got my FR email at 7:15pm GMT so maybe around 11am PST or earlier?? (Definitely just guessing.) It would be cruel if the decisions didn't go out until super late in the day.

Or they didn't go out at all.
