My date just changed but it still says "under review"
Huh
If it was FR would it explicitly say that?

Yes - they send you an email on the same day it changes to "faculty review".

Mine did too. Is this UR2? I am starting to get different schools' timelines and processes mixed up. Berkeley has UR2?

When did you guys first go under review?? ive been stuck at under review for a while and haven't gone to FR

Likewise, I've been under review since Jan. 4th. My timeline might be a bit messed up though, I submitted November 1st, but letters didn't go til mid December.

Waitlisted after FR, not too surprised Cal has a rep of favoring high GPAs which is something I kind of lack!
170/3.3

[Rigo]

Pretty soon Monday will be in and I will be left here waiting like the sad junior varsity cheerleader I am.

damn Rigo we are literally on the exact same schedule once again. Didn't know Berkeley did a UR2 but I'm generally ill informed

On the Berkeley status checker is there a "complete" status? Mine has said "application received" since September and just now realized that might mean they are missing something? Planning to call tomorrow.

Mine says "your file is complete" and has since the second business day after I submitted.

Thanks! I was trying to minimize my status checker checks since I thought that I was complete everywhere, then noticed this when I checked all of them at the end of the month. They were indeed missing something. All sorted out now. Sooo since i'm complete in Feb I'm guessing I'll be waiting until May for a decision...

No problem! And that's rough.

If it was FR would it explicitly say that?

Wait did you check the very top of the status checker? Listed at the top mine now says "Your application at UC Berkeley Law School has passed an initial administrative review and has been selected for further consideration by the Faculty Admissions Committee." Kind of confused since i'm above both 75s. Does this mean I'm pretty much not in?

Oh shit I missed that. Okay I'm FR now.
Way to use the tiniest black font, Berk.
