I feel like there was a wave of dings today, you aren't alone. Still sorry to hear about it - expected or not.

Never went to faculty review. Had been UR since 11/17.

I was in the 12/8 UR batch.

I was strongly considering pulling the app to avoid the ding. Coulda/woulda/shoulda.

:[ I guess we can wait together... hopefully, we get an auto accept or they auto ding us in the next week so that we dont have to wait forever.

+1 I'm in the same boat as you date wise bjack. It's interesting that according to lawschoolnumbers there were people UR before us and after us which both got rejected and accepted today. There has to be some sort of method to their madness but Maybe we're just deeper down in some massive pile.

Sorry to be a debbie downer and love to be wrong, but I didn't see anyone get in through auto admit after FR2 were announced in previous cycles.
So, you're telling me there's a chance?

Has anyone in the 1/26 batch gone to fr2?

I'm waiting on 14 more schools to respond. I've created bookmarks for all the status checkers and open them all at once and go through each one. I do this about 3-5 times a day. Every time a school gives me a decision it becomes easier and easier.

Same. Down to 6 schools now. Though one of my passwords is different for one of the schools but chrome treats each login page as the same page so I have to use my keyboard at some point each time :x

Has anyone who was admitted last Friday (2/6) gotten access to the Admitted Students Portal? It has been almost a week and I am dying to get more info, especially about ASW.

Has anyone placed in FR (1 or 2) submitted a LOCI or a "Why Berkeley" statement? Wondering if it would be beneficial or unnecessary.

From my berkeley waitlist email:
"Should I send supplemental letters of recommendation or a letter of continued interest?
Submission of additional materials or a letter of continued interest is not encouraged as these will have neither a bearing on your wait list placement nor on your admission."
