Why Berk here, but no CA ties. Seems to be a common factor, plus Berk has always been a bit less predictable by the numbers it seems.SopranoSaxophone wrote:Also wrote a Why Berk, also no CA ties, also already accepted to several schools higher ranked than Berkeley.

I got rejected via email.seanbodonovan wrote:Did anybody get rejected today or just WL?

I’m starting to think this was a YP wave, because so far no one who was waitlisted had less than great stats...principalagent wrote:Jesus whatcaffeinatedvirgo wrote:Also Waitlisted. One point shy of 75th LSAT/median GPA/URM. From CA and wrote a Why Berkeley

Same here, above both of their 75ths and got WL'd via email. It was also my first news this cycleSlawthschool wrote:WL via email today too GPA>75 LSAT at 75 non resident. Kinda bummed it's my first "decision".
Yeah I think so. I'm mostly indifferent (I'm not even really surprised) but this was a brutal WL wave based on everyone posting. Yikes. Thanks for the support y'all!jimmyplayer601 wrote:I’m starting to think this was a YP wave, because so far no one who was waitlisted had less than great stats...principalagent wrote:Jesus whatcaffeinatedvirgo wrote:Also Waitlisted.

I'm curious about this too. I wonder if anyone who was rolled over from ED to RD has been accepted yet? Really hoping that we aren't on the bottom of the pilelawlawlawzz wrote:Was anyone in this wave originally an ED applicant? Wondering when they'll start sifting through the ED -> RD folks.
Think i saw one on reddit. Someones friend got admitted a week after rolling to RD. Wish they would let us know soon thogmg wrote:I'm curious about this too.

Did you guys apply ED or RD? I've been stuck at UR since 11/6.SopranoSaxophone wrote:Also wrote a Why Berk, also no CA ties, also already accepted to several schools higher ranked than Berkeley.

I’m in the same boat, but I’m less optimistic. Last year there was a wave of rejections in early January.scalaw wrote:I'm a splitter and always thought that Berkeley was out of reach bc of my low GPA.
I've been UR since 10/12 and haven't been dinged yet so I am starting to think it's a possibility. Berkeley would be ideal because I currently live in the Bay Area, and want to stay.
Stop playing with my heart!!!
Was told that something should be coming in most likely this week.Revelator 12 wrote:Admits, have you received any sort of physical admissions package through the mail or is it all digital?
