hello!

i just wanted to reach out to fellow traditional track applicants. any guesses on when in March we're likely to find out?

Hi suzie1588! I also applied to the traditional track LL.M.

My guess is that the decisions will come in April since they closed the applications on January 10 and last year they were one of the last Universities to send out their decisions.

Were just gonna have to be patient.

thanks for the information FCP! :)

The timing is so tricky. I hate to be sitting on acceptances from great programs while waiting to hear back from other places where I may not get in. It just clogs the system for all of us...I only applied to schools that I would absolutely love to attend but I would withdraw all my other applications if a certain program would accept me right now.

I agree with you Grumpy! I have the same problem.

Received an email asking me if I was interested in being considered for the Professional Track. Looks like they are still busy with the Professional Track applications.

Hello all!

Would anyone know of any instance when LSAC misplaced an LoR? My recommendation for Berkeley was mailed to LSAC before the deadline but my account shows it as missing. And so my report to Berkeley hasn't been forwarded. I mailed LSAC about the situation but I haven't received a response yet. All I get are automated mails every week informing me that Berkeley has sought a report and that one of my LoRs is missing.

Hi Kats K,

I agree with GP1981. LSAC didn't acknowledge receipt of one of my LORs for days after it actually reached them (I'd tracked it). When I called them, they told me they'd check and get back to me, and it was listed as registered the next day.

Hey GP and suzie! Thanks a lot! Feeling much relieved knowing I'm not the only one :) All the best to you guys!

I had the same problem concerning MY LOR to Berkeley. The LOR was mailed and received by LSAC, but the form was missing. I sent LSAC an scanned copy of the form signed by my recommender, a professor of mine.

Waiting for the decisions! My application status shows 'ready for review' as on 1/27/15. What is the significance of this?

Thanks paxromana!
Hope they start reviewing quite soon.

Hey guys,

Any news from the Berkeley side ? My application went under review on the 18th.

@Gotham, that's great news! Applications could be under review for a month or more but I hope you hear soon.

Did you apply for the thesis option or coursework? Also, did you apply for any certification?

I read that they started making decisions on 19 March last year.

People say that Berkeley is one of the last university to send decisions ...;/

Mine went under review yesterday but I understand that invitations to admit are usually made in April which is after the date of first deposit for other schools (Columbia, Duke, Georgetown etc.).
