Chicago should give us a financial aid decision in the next few days. they did say "around march 15"!

I had to make this choice last year and got Berkeley. No regrets.

I am in the same situation ..... any advise
also any idea regarding financial aid?

Chicago V Berkeley??

did u receive financial aid ?

Why? Isn't San Francisco a lot more expensive than Chicago? I would have thought Chicago was a no-brainer, especially given the class size, faculty and general prestige (at least insofar as the law school is concerned)?

Congrats everyone! I'm from Indonesia and I'm in too! Also got an offer from gtown.

Got

I am in as well and I am from RUSSIA
See you all there :)))) I think Berkeley is super cool :)
Who else got admitted? Which country?

Berkeley is cheaper than San Francisco, but I don't know how it compares to Chicago. It does not mean it is little money, though.

Setting aside the weather comparison that weighs heavily towards Berkeley (and, believe me, you'll remember that when Chicago winter comes down on you...), I think people in California are warmer and the environment of the LLM class is more cooperative instead of competitive.This, coupled with excelent faculty, makes Berkeley an outstanding place to spend your LLM.

But I had a hard time deciding it (including Columbia in the equation to make things even more complicated), and I'm pretty sure Chicago is an outstanding school.

In the end, I chose, among great schools, the one that would make me more comfortable in terms of personal preferences. And that's what I recommend you to do: where do you picture yourself at? Take everything into account, not only rankings. Although most of your time will be consumed by books, assignments and exams, there is more to see and do during the LLM.

So I should assume that those that have not received any e-mails from Berkeley are not on the "admitted list" ? Although I know that it also depends on the completion date, my so far experience tells me that good news comes first...

Hi!! I've been admitted tooo!

I have also an offer from NYU, i'm aiming for a mixture between constitutional law and IP and telecommunications, any toughts on which school to choose?

I heard Berkeley is probably loosing Goodwyn Liu which should hurt its constitutional faculty..

Oh, well got recjected by Berkeley..could've needed the sunny weather, but UPenn will be nice:)

Just got rejected by Berkeley too. Cornell it is.

Rejected too.
Duke is the place.
Good luck to all!

Seems as though they sent out admissions first, waitlistings and rejections afterwards. Got waitlisted. But they weren't my first choice anyway, so no hard feelings.

Have the same trouble deciding between Berkeley, Chicago and NYU. Any information on when is Berkeley willing to send out financial aid decisions? Would that be before April 5 in any event?

Anyone else not heard anything from Berkeley?

I recceived my admissions email today. Deadline to accept is April 5th!
Good luck everyone!

I got in too! I'm from Mexico... I think the class size is great not too small, not too big-, and living in San Francisco should be great! See you there!!
