Would you say going to Berkeley at sticker is a wise financial choice?TrustMeImALawStudent wrote:I'm also at Berkeley Law. I'll try to chip in to answer questions, too.
Also, for students who are at median at Berk, are they still able to land 160k+ jobs with relative ease?

Does Berkeley have a voluntary (aka required) interview process for admission?

Checking in! Submitted on Monday and went under review yesterday -- is the turnaround normally that fast, or can I keep telling myself that they must really love me? 25 < GPA < Med; LSAT >>75, from the Bay.

No ED, no URM, so either they love their CA natives or they love that sweet sweet 175+ LSAT. Ideal outcome is to move back to California, and Stanford is a fickle mistress, so I'm really counting on Berk to pull through for me. Really wish I could go back in time and buy past me a fancy ass steak for actually sticking with LSAT prep for 5 long long months and not settling earlier.

Don't go to law school unless you're getting a good discount. The more debt you have, the more doors you close several years out of law school

I got the email saying my file was complete, and my status still just says "your file is complete." Does that mean I'm under review or another email is forthcoming?

I actually never got a "your file is complete" email. I got my application received/status checker email on Tuesday, and got an email with the subject "Berkeley Law Application Under Review" late last night.tb89 wrote:gayfish wrote:No ED, no URM, so either they love their CA natives or they love that sweet sweet 175+ LSAT.

Has anyone gone under review that applied ED? If not, I kind of get the sense that we're all just going to get our decisions on December 2.

Re: Berkeley Law c/o 2021 Applicants (2017-2018)
I think you're probably right about UR not really mattering. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get our RD if we don't get ED. I say it will probably be within a week or two.bbwannabe wrote:Yeah, I think for ED applicants UR doesn't really matter - we'll all get decisions on Dec.2nd.gmg wrote:Has anyone gone under review that applied ED? If not, I kind of get the sense that we're all just going to get our decisions on December 2.
Also, do you guys think ED will be more competitive than RD since they give u money? ( it's only 20k a year but still)
My gut says it will be more competitive because of the money, but I guess it really depends on what the ED applicant pool looks like.

There are plenty of ways to study abroad @ Berkeley. Here are some places that you can apply: https://www.law.berkeley.edu/experienti ... placement/Veil of Ignorance wrote:annazork wrote:Also a 1L @ Berk, happy to answer any q's.

This list is not exhaustive. Most people find opportunities through professors or the CDO, from my uderstanding.
They also just launched a Haugue program that honestly I don't know much about, but looks cool: https://www.law.berkeley.edu/experienti ... e-program/
You have to be a 2L or 3L to do a full semester away.
There are also summer jobs abroad that Berk students apply for, for example my friend is applying for an in-house Nestle summer job in Switzerland.

Loved the idea of Berkeley for the longest time, but was super upset by the closed-mindedness of several students. I know I shouldn't base a decision off of a couple outliers but dang

Checking in. Went under review on 10/2. How soon do applicants typically hear back?
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
