UC Berkeley School of Law C/O 2020 Applicants (2016-2017) Forum

[dietcoke1]

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.

When is the next deposit due date.

june 1 is the deadline to commit

I'll be jealous of your California living back on the east coast as I'm shivering back home from the library at 2am!

Rigo needs to know so he can get started on his kill list.

Yes. I was referring to getting an email from admissions thinking it was a decision on the hold.

Maaaaaaybe this is good news for us hold people! They've been so busy trying to get a new Dean, and now they're done with that so they have time for us again! Maybe...

Fingers crossed. It would suck to have waited this long for a denial.

In today off of the Hold list.

Same! However, there was no mention of merit aid with my e-mail. Anyone else?

Congrats!

I think it's probably best to operate under the assumption that you won't receive merit aid unless you have compelling competing offers from peer schools that you can send to matching @ law.berkeley.edu ! However they consider after may 1st late so just trying to keep your hopes realistic.

Edit - we have 280 kids in the Facebook group now, so we are probably getting closer to a full class as an FYI! Not sure how many of those people are current students.
