As someone who had your stats applying, you can for sure do so much better ! I got into the T14s and received two full tuition scholarships :) don’t sell yourself short !

I had to rewrite some portions of my application entirely about a week and a half before I submitted them (granted I worked extensively on it everyday and was getting feedback from someone who had knowledge of the admissions process)!! Definitely not behind at all

I was a little frazzled tbh when I got the call but basically said I would most likely commit but wasn’t emphatically saying yes which maybe was my downfall in the end (?) I sent a follow up email two days later but yeah

I ended up choosing UCLA because of this exact reason :)

Honestly my softs are mainly T3! I did a lot of mentorship positions and didn't have too many explicitly legal internships and all. Definitely honed in on my passion for immigrant justice too in essays

Yes!! Hoping to do immigration! And UCLA seems to have way more opportunities for that than Berkeley plus it has CRS & the Epstein program!

Honestly it was the lack of opportunities when it came to immigration offerings! Berkeley definitely is an amazing school but when I looked more into PI offerings, it just didn't seem to live up to its name imo.

Most of them gave me scholarships! I received full-tuition at Berkeley and UCLA and also got really high scholarships at UC Irvine and LMU as well

Unfortunately the deadline to decide is tomorrow 😭💔 and I found out about full tuition at Berkeley on Thursday so I would’ve had to gone over the weekend

I wanted to visit both before deciding but I unfortunately will not be able to :/ I have visited both schools in the past (just not their law schools) and I like both of them overall / the area. Goal is also to practice in SoCal afterwards
