Y'all are prob gonna have to wait a bit for the last batch to go out. If there is one, it'll probably be the last one.

Do dance and consult an augury if it makes you feel better :?

And hey! Maybe people will decline the offer, which will free up even more seats! :o

The scuttlebutt when I visited was one or two more waves. Looks like we just had one, and even though law students as a whole are not so great at "maths" ...

Hang in there!

+1. Maybe we can summon one more batch if we all play Nintendo at the same time? Does next Friday at 3 p.m. Cali time work for everybody?

Really, really trying to keep hope alive for another batch of phone calls. If not, really really hoping for a WL soon. Either way, I'm keeping hope alive. And playing Sim city whenever I have free time...since playing games appears to be a good luck charm 8)

Were any of you able to secure some more scholarship money other than the guaranteed 50% for all?

I have been lurking but not posting, too nervous, but I got into UCI this week, totally stoked. Good Lsat, decent grades, good (as in real) reasons to go to UCI, not a back up choice for me. Haven't heard from all other schools but I don't think I care, but will wait for Boalt--that would be hard choice. Opinions?

I think it depends how much money Berkeley offers you. Berkeley is a great school obviously, but then so is UCI. Although I think in terms of ranking BK is going to be a much stronger bet. One of the benefits of UCI is the opportunity to shape a new institution and to be part of a smaller, friendly(er?) community. Then again, the Bay Area ain't half bad...

I really really would love to go to Irvine. If they called me I would probably just withdraw all my other applications. The wait is agonizing!

Neither ucla nor uc berk consider whether you're ca res for admissions, so likely not required, but I'd say they may be doing it for yield rate

State universities favor their own residents, as they were established to provide affordable public education for their constituency. The UCs are generally no different.

For example, the Berk undergraduate admitted 10 CA residents for every 1 non-resident. However, because so many more in-state applied, the admissions rate for in-state was only 12% higher.

UCI had 25% out of state last year (15 kids) which is higher than the average, but 1.) law school is different from undergraduate; 2.) the size of the class is statistically insignificant; 3.) UCI Law is a new school.

UG operates a bit differently to Grad programs, in my experience.

Damnit, beat me to it before I could amend why those numbers can't be used as an accurate predictor for UCI.

But the UCs as a whole serve to educate CA residents as a priority.

Any waitlist news yet? I wonder how they send them out. There's one LSN WL but I'm not sure if it's accurate since he's the only one..

No one wants to split a room for the ASD? How can I find out which hotels offer the shuttle that was previously mentioned. I'd rather not pay for a taxi/rent a car.
