Gosh, not quite enjoying the idea of "not good enough" being that i'm at or above both 75ths...

[Assasindowntheavenue]

Status checker just updated to today's date and says "faculty committee notice" under mailings. So no rejection, but guess I'll have to wait a while longer at FR

+1

For those that went to faculty review today, when did you submit/go UR?

[dietcoke1]

last year there were two faculty reviews. Apparently, they told the first batch to expect a decision in early February and the second batch in late February. They seem to give answers pretty close to when they say they will so at least we will generally know when our decisions will be out. (If they say when they expect decisions to be out this year)

10/27, so it's been a long waiting process

That's good to know, thanks!

Idk I think it's a good sign. I'm medians and got nothing so my guess is im dinged and y'all are still being reviewed

[act0491]

Status also updated to faculty review today. In between median and 75th for GPA and LSAT so not totally surprised.

Obviously this is better than a ding but anyone know chances of getting admitted once you've been passed to faculty?

[brinicolec]

Everyone who goes FR is UR first, right?

I see. Guess FR is better than ding. Good luck this cycle, with your new LSAT and all!

Sorry to hear it! I got dinged from Penn today (who is a GPA whore like Berkeley) so I know how you feel. Best of luck in your cycle moving forward!

[jackstraw92]

So is FR at this point preferable to not hearing anything? I haven't gotten the FR notification but have only been UR since 12/22..

Haha feel free to stalk me on LSN - note that the cycle data is from this year though. I applied ONLY to berkeley last year because I knew I was going to retake the LSAT. Taht's why I know so much about the Berkeley process, because it was the only forum I stalked

Oh in that case I'll let you be haha... Looking more and more like USC every day for me

edit: im no coder

[Litt1tUp]

Is it sad that I'm happy about FR? I was expecting a rejection notice much earlier.

If there are two FR waves then you might be in the second wave, especially if you haven't been UR that long. I am right at medians too.
