Nope! Just that email from a week ago about the math of waitlists or whatever.

Any other held people who were just admitted this week hear anything about merit aid? That June 1st deadline is coming up quick!

Nothing yet. Did you receive the e-mail this morning with the CalNet/CalCentral log-in information?

[chargers21]

Don't count on money from UCB.

I was let in off of hold earlier in the week and received a merit aid email about an hour ago for quite a bit more money than I expected.

Same situation. But unfortunately, I called Berk last week asking about negotiations for those of us off the held list and they said they are no longer doing scholarship reconsiderations. So we're pretty much done.

Hard decision to choose Berkeley at sticker...

If you want to stay on the west coast than David should be fine. But Berkeley on the other hand, will give you the ability to move around the country easier if you later decide to. It also depends on what type of law you think you might want to get into

Berkeley was just my dream school. It was a wonder I actually got in. I do want to stay on the west coast, but I also would prefer to move back to Southern California at some point.

[chargers21]

I feel like Berkeley is definitely worth 75k more than Davis for most situations

This is the right answer. Paying sticker is a really rough choice but I think it's better value than Davis with that scholarship.

Law school is an investement and the reality of it is, down the road you'll have way more opportunities with Berkeley on your resume versus having Davis. It's a long term game.

Berkeley was also the dream, hoping to return to California after graduation too. Personally, I would choose Berkeley at sticker over Davis like others have said. I'll be going to Duke with $$ in the fall, which will probably make it a little harder to return, but oh well!

[rwajo12]

Duke is also a solid choice. If you do well in law school and have West coast roots and ties, you will be fine.
