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

[hopeboaltberkeley]

My UR status still hasn't changed.
Is it a good thing or a bad thing to be pushed to FR?

It means you're more borderline than someone who got in without it. Better than a reject for sure.

[LawBron James]

Waitlist . I guess I'll wait until they rank me before deciding to withdraw or not.

[lawschoolprospect123]

IN VIA EMAIL!!!!!

Really confused about this, I have been UR since 12/2 any idea when we should stop worrying?

For those who are hearing back during this wave--when did you all submit?

[ithrowds]

WL via email. Curious about waitlist, does anyone have insight on how it works? I saw the mention about quartile rankings, do they rank based on stats or is it just more random based on how much they like you overall as an applicant? How likely is it to get off the WL?

Also, are there people hearing back that weren't FR?

Submit, complete, URI all mid November. FR1 in January

No idea how they do the quartile rankings, but movement off the WL is pretty merciless.

Rejected. LSAT > 75%. 75% > GPA > 50%.

Congrats to new admits!

[owlinentertainment]

Dinged - FR1, LSAT>75, GPA<25

Best of luck to everyone else! But man, two rejection/waitlists in two days while being stuck home sick. This really isn't my week.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you get some good news next week, and get to feeling better!

[NotASpecialSnowflake]

Wow. Rejected. Not even a waitlist. Damn. Above both 75ths, no c&f issues.

I can't even be angry because this is so weird

[ku546]

300 people on WL in total. Only 270 seats for admission. I'd say that if you're not in the top 50 on the WL, then it's pretty much a rejection. I'm not expecting anything here

Must be YP. =(

This must sting a lot but with those kind of numbers you'll undoubtedly have other great options.

I'm more confused than upset. Wouldn't YP be a waitlist? Fortunately, I have gotten scholarship invites so this week isn't a complete disaster.

I'm in a similar boat, but then if YP, my question is why not WL and let us off easy?
Sorry. Not complaining and didn't /expect/ to get in, just bummed I didn't because it was one of my top choices.

[leslieknope]

Holy shit, I'm in!!! Complete 1/26 so I super wasn't expecting to hear back one way or the other today. I'm so unbelievably happy, Berkeley's one of my top choices. 75th>LSAT>50th, GPA>75th. PM for more specific info!

[hopeboaltberkeley]

congrats leslie!

Oh no, Snowflake! You'll have tons of better offers with those numbers, anyway.

[NutellaDipity]

For those who are hearing back during this wave--when did you all submit?

Submitted early December, FR 1/13.

[cantreadgood]

WL for me. Congrats to all the recent acceptances!

[miamiri]

my status still says UR - since 1-12. Maybe all those accepted/rejected today are either FR1 or UR from prior to Jan1?

I'm just bummed I couldn't use asw as an excuse to go to California for the weekend. And I am curious what was so bad about my app that they'd reject me

[lurker816]

Cruel day to get a spam voicemail from the Bay (though I've been complete since Nov and didn't get FR so a ding is totally on its way...)
