good call on boalt not matching nu.

although nu $$$ has happened for those incentivized to defer by way of full rides.

i have 150k at uva, can i just go ahead and submit now or are they looking for better schools

thanks

That sounds pretty solid. If I were you, I'd go ahead with that.

[twinkletoes16]

thanks! has anybody submitted a uva/umich/nu offer for matching yet or is TCR to wait?

thanks!

I think we can't submit until feb for matching. Idk whether to:
-use a similarly ranked school who i don't hve a $ offer from yet, so wait and hope I get $ from them and submit later
-submit the first offer I have since there's likely more $ in the pool right now and I feel I'd be more likely to get it

berk is my top choice but even with my offer right now I still don't think I can afford it. :0\

I could be reading into things WAY too much, but a student at Berkeley viewed my LinkedIn profile at some point over the past few days... While this could be a coincidence, the list of suggested people included 4-5 law students, including a girl on the admissions committee. Now they know what I look like...

Did you get the email about going to faculty review?

Yep

I seriously hope they find my profile pic on FB. I TOTALLY look like a hippie.

I kind of hope they check too...just because I'll feel like I over-thought things if they don't. I changed my profile pic for the admissions process. My old one wasn't bad, but could be construed that way (It was me with an 8 beer sampler in front of me. Context: It was my 21st birthday and I was at dinner with my parents, but they don't know that).

I am in FR and wondering whether it's too late to have an alum send an email in on my behalf. Had good reason for not asking earlier, but now that I'm in FR it seems stupid not to offer the decision-makers as much context as possible. My only worry (kicking myself) is that something that makes it in by this week might still be too late; I guess it can't hurt, right?

I would just say go for it. I can't imagine it will hurt you; worst case scenario, it just doesn't get counted.

Looks like they are working late AND on the weekend! Tweeted last night at 10:46PM PST:

@BoaltAdmissions Still drowning in applications. No time to phone admits. Emails instead. Big batch sent to Committee. More going later in Feb.

i'm not on any social media, but the fact that they give updates (even if its just a few per cycle) via twitter almost makes me want to create an account lol.

Me. I'll be shocked if they don't come, considering they sent a shitton of apps to faculaty review. That said, im looking for my ding at 5PM PST.

Unfortunately, I feel like they're finalizing dings for tomorrow.

I'm expecting to receive one more email from Boalt during my law school career, and am expecting it to be tomorrow.

Are we really expecting dings to come out on a Monday? I mean, monday's suck enough already. I figured it would be more of a Friday thing...

If I'm not mistaken, Monday the 26th was the first big wave last year.

Bracing myself..though it sounds from that tweet that admits might be going out too

[steakandchicken]

Gulp...do we think any January complete/in review folks are going to be in this batch, or are they still working through Oct, Nov, Dec?

several people who went complete in Jan have already been admitted (hence why I am personally expecting a ding)

[BigZuck]

Last year there was a morning bloodbath then some acceptances in the afternoon.

Hope today is the day!

Good to know (I'm under review since 1/7). I didn't write the 4 page PS so I too am expecting a ding. I'm kicking myself for not reading the TLS article before sending in my app!
