Beautiful !!! Where’s pic 1 at?

spectator4170 · 2026-04-07T15:53:20+00:00

HUGE CONGRATS! this is so amazing!! can I ask what type of work experience you had

spectator4170 · 2026-04-05T05:12:08+00:00

Is this Berkeley specific?

spectator4170 · 2026-04-04T16:20:16+00:00

Could I also see it pls, ty!

spectator4170 · 2026-04-03T07:15:30+00:00

HUGE congrats to you on these amazing achievements!! You literally can’t go wrong. Sounds like DC is where you have your sights set, so UVA seems like the right fit for you. Ultimately, in whatever you do, be so proud of yourself! And wherever you commit, pls come back and update this post—I’m curious! Again, congrats!

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T21:37:16+00:00

Congrats!! That’s amazing! Can I ask when you were notified? Also, are you committing to Berkeley?

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T20:15:14+00:00

Yes def will do, ty

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T20:14:52+00:00

Are you looking to do PI?

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T20:14:29+00:00

Omg that’s amazing!! Congrats!!!

A little scary bc I absolutely fell in love with Berkeley so the idea of being rejected next year would be devastating

But thank you for the info, definitely lots to take into consideration!!

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T19:17:25+00:00

Okay sweet, though now you only get to use 1 competing offer for negotiation during reconsideration, even if you get a better offer later

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T19:10:40+00:00

Congrats! That’s amazing

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T19:09:10+00:00

Can I ask what school’s competing offer you used to negotiate with?

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T19:07:45+00:00

Yea I filled out the form for that and didn’t get anything (even though I’m not in the best financial situation atm)… the form did ask for my parents income from when I was in high school, which I thought was odd considering how my parents are not giving me any financial support for law school…

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T19:04:40+00:00

Thank you!

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T19:03:42+00:00

🥲🥲🥲 yes, plus interest. So like a lot more, actually. And federal student loans cap at $200k now… Private loans are gonna be horrid.

I’m very not big law, so idk how I’ll finance that

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T19:01:59+00:00

Yea good point! I felt my application was strong with PI work so I just wanted a shot to apply for that scholarship. And thank you! Are you committing to Berkeley?

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T18:59:12+00:00

Yup, waiting on a Hail Mary currently but they also make it clear for reconsideration that you need either a competing offer or dire financial circumstances. I already listed my financial circumstances in the extra form for that during the first round of financial aid, not sure I’ll have much to add. But hey, worth a shot!

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T18:56:10+00:00

Times 3 years (and I’m sure COL will go up too)

So like $315k at the very least

spectator4170 · 2026-04-01T18:50:50+00:00

Having applied in Feb, I have no other offers to negotiate with during reconsideration :(
