Damn it. I guess I'll stop refreshing the status checkerCR7 wrote:Nope. Still UR from October. Strong numbers and already in at other T14 schools.bartlettadmin wrote:Would it be safe to say that between UR and a decision it would be at least 2-3 weeks? I feel like Berkeley moves so slowly

Not sure if this applies to Berkley but I find schools that have ED options take a lot longer to start admitting RD students because they have to get through their early applications (for instance Chicago hasn't admitted any RD yet)taxman14 wrote:Same here - no clue what's taking so long?CR7 wrote:Nope.

Well that's good news! I was just quoting from last year's thread so take everything with a grain of saltVeil of Ignorance wrote:Berkeley's admit rates are nowhere near that low. I think it's something like 25% now. Maybe during the peak years it was closer to 10%Christinabruin wrote:Faculty review means your application is not good enough to be admitted straight by Dean Tom, but you are a relatively strong candidate and the admission committee (comprised of admissions team, students, and faculty) will take a look at your application again. The tls consensus is there is about 13% chance to get it once you make it to the faculty review. That is nominally better than 9% from the general pool, but it is really hard to say whether the competition in FR pool is higher or lower in the end (both the best and the worst applicants are screened out, so it all depends on the initial ratio, which is a big unknown).
Depends on your stats. If you're a strong applicant numbers-wise, then no it's not. If you're not as strong, still not too late, but you should try and hurry.SupremeLaw wrote:Do you guys think it's too late to apply for this cycle?
They noted a date they would send me the info by in the acceptance email, but then that date passed so I emailed them about five days after and they sent it to me immediately. That said, I got accepted right before the office went on winter break, so it's hard for me to say what's accurate for wait time.Legalstudent111 wrote:How long did people have to wait in between getting their acceptance email and getting the second email with their Cal ID and login info?
I don't remember how long it took, but I'm pretty sure my Cal ID and login info went to my spam folder, so make sure you check that!Legalstudent111 wrote:How long did people have to wait in between getting their acceptance email and getting the second email with their Cal ID and login info?
It took my 3 weeks, but it included the xmas break so that might be longLegalstudent111 wrote:How long did people have to wait in between getting their acceptance email and getting the second email with their Cal ID and login info?

1. Still early enough in the cycle so they might be just trickling out acceptance letters to just high GPAs first and then going down the list from there.brinicolec wrote:Oh boy. Just looked @ LSN and Cal seems to love themselves some high GPAs.... Hopefully my above median LSAT but below 25th GPA still stand a chance.

2. Berkeley is a black box. You never really know with them!
+1. Did you receive an e-mail?lemon-lyman wrote: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
Not yet. I'm assuming they'll send out a mass one today?genjustice wrote:+1. Did you receive an e-mail?lemon-lyman wrote: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

means we were not good enough to be admitted right away by Dean Tom but good enough to not be rejected right away. We are now reviewed by a committee of faculty and students and wait even longersphyrnidae13 wrote:lemon-lyman wrote:Status checker just updated to today's date and says "faculty committee notice" under mailings.

Same here...I have Faculty Committee Notice under mailing today..what does this mean?
