Anyone hear back from financial aid yet? They said they would start giving out awards today. I would love to see my financial package before making a decision.

Do you have another school that is willing to give you money too?

Accepted Berkeley. I can't argue with free law school from a T10 that is also in the area where I intend to practice.

If we're waiting for aid results, we have until 7/15 to accept, correct?

GI Bill! It's a public school so the GI Bill covers all of tuition. The same cannot be said for private schools.

Hey everyone. Congrats on everyone that's been accepted so far, and good luck to everyone still waiting. Be sure to join us over in the TLS Transfer Cycle 2015 (Class of 2017) thread once you know where you're headed!

How damning would it be to miss EIW at Berkeley if I do not want to go into the public sector? Can any past transfers comment on successfully finding a job through other means?

I'm at work in DC until Aug 7, which means that I miss EIW.

Any past transfers know the probability of getting graduate housing? If so, when can you expect to find if selected.

Nothing yet. Did you ask for an extension past the 15th?

I spoke to admissions and no one has created a FB group yet. They suggested I create one, so here it is:

If you're joining us at Berkeley, join the group!

Yeah, I'm able to login to b-line and all of the EIW employers are located under the OCI tab. There's also a list of them linked on the 2015 EIW page of the CDO area of Berkeley's website.
