Me too! What are they waiting for? so many deadlines have passed, they must have some idea of who is committing or who withdrew for other schoolskaptainkeepa wrote:No but I'm getting impatient here!lilikoillama wrote:For my fellow "held" people, anyone heard any news?

Do you know what the ceiling of the scholarship reconsideration is?jackstraw92 wrote:They explained this at ASW - the matching scholarship program has ended but it's basically been replaced by the "scholarship reconsideration" process, which still uses the same matching@law.berkeley.edu email account. It was pretty clear they expect that admits will attach peer offers when they make reconsideration requests, and you have to give a specific amount of aid you're asking for.chargers21 wrote:Berkeley has not updated their website since ending the matching scholarship program, and the information on how to apply for scholarship reconsideration seems outdated, with the email still being matching@law.berkeley.edu. Anyone have any insight on this front?

Dear ,
I write to inform you that there is a possibility (but not a certainty) that some admission offers will be extended in the coming weeks. Therefore, it would help me to know if you already have made other plans for next year. If this is the case, please reply to this email by the end of business on Friday, May 12, and I will remove your application from consideration. However, if you wish to remain an active applicant and believe that it is possible you may accept an admission offer, then there is nothing further you need to do.
I apologize that I cannot provide more information on the possible number of offers or even if and when they may occur. Unfortunately, the science of class-size management has many variables. You may be assured that we will act in as timely a manner as possible.
Many thanks for your patience.
Sincerely,
Edward Tom
Dean of Admissions

I got the email too and I was "on hold". I think "on hold" is interchangeable with "waitlist" for UC Berkeley.lilikoillama wrote:very confused. I'm one of the applicants still on "hold" and just got this email as well....so were the hold people basically WLs?charles117 wrote:Dear ,

A few ppl on the earlier threads had said that hold was slightly higher since we hadn't been given an admission decision to begin with. But on the other hand, we still can get waitlisted.

For anyone held or on the waitlist -
In the Facebook group we have 232 members, I think a handful are current students so maybe 222 admits, and of course there might be some admits who haven't joined. They aim to have a class of 270 incoming students and 30 LLMs from what I was told.
So there looks to be 40-50 spots open, pending upon how many admits have accepted and not joined the fb group.
