Any UR 2/6 folks that haven't heard back yet? I'm guessing it's a good thing for you.

Was UR 2/6, applied mid January. Just got my rejection notice - above both 75ths and already into all of CCN w $.

It's cool Berkeley, didn't want to attend a non-T10 school anyways. New rankings definitely have me feeling a bit better about this. :P

+3. Applied late January. I was disappointed until I checked r/lawschooladmissions. A few applicants with gaudy stats were straight dinged (no wait list). This "small" group may actually be pretty selective.

Hello! Long time lurker here, first time posting.

Thought I would chime in since I also got the "small group" email :? Berkeley is one of my top choices so I'm glad it's not just a straight ding, but really not looking forward to more waiting. :evil: And there's the bummer fact that I doubt we could get any money haha

Sorry Nightwing. :( I've been following your cycle, and it seems like you deserve way better than what you've gotten so far.

Saw all the people getting denied and checked my tracker to see that I was turned down also, just after getting shot down at Harvard too. Lowest ranked school from which I've been rejected so it's kinda concerning. Even Duke and Penn at least gave me the WL treatment. Oh well, still holding out for seven other schools. Four of those are big reaches though.

So is this a waitlist or not? I'm confused.

No, it's a hold. Other people were explicitly waitlisted today. I'm pretty sure a hold is better news than a waitlist, but no guarantees on our chances at this point.

Holds are de facto waitlists, so think about it however you want.

Dinged. Email came at 7:59 pm, but was sent at 130pm. I feel like they did this on purpose. Weird. Complete early January.

Anyone heard anything regarding schollies lately? Seems pretty silent in this regard.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
