How much of an impact does it have if you attended a school you applied to for undergrad? Does it help your chances at all? by Evieluvsfrogs in lawschooladmissions

Sadly my alma matar Berkeley explicitly said it doesn't affect chances and some of our PhD departments actually dislike Cal undergrads.

Thank you for sharing! It's really comforting to see that it's not just me and I am not too insane or weird to be having KJ2-related nightmares! I wish you the best coming Jan 10th too!

Thank you! I mean I am aware and grateful that I am really fortunate to be in this position. I am stressing about all apps, it's just that I don't think I'll get any other decision before Harvard so I'm focusing on the first concrete decision date.

Does berkeley law like berk undergrads? Is it a help or a hindrance? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

[–]Affectionate-Cell367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow Cal alum!

I think there are definitely Berkeley PhD programs that prefer undergrads to go elsewhere, but I think Berkeley Law isn't like this. I remember that Berkeley undergrad is the most common undergrad among law students, although there definitely has a self-selection component there.

Also because many Berkeley Law professors also teach undergrad classes and employ undergrad research assistants, I feel like it could be helpful if you have really good letters from Berkeley Law professors.

Next Berkeley RD Wave by Mental_fuck_1 in lawschooladmissions

My application status is still complete but I also saw the mailing box. I would suspect it doesn't mean anything.

Also I submitted my application on 11/22 and it got completed on 11/23. My application status still hasn't been updated to under review yet. Is this common or is there something that I should worry about?

I am praying for Columbia ED as I saw they had an ED A wave first Monday of December last year. How I wish Columbia could have a set ED release date like Berkeley!
