Hi, I consider rejecting it, as I feel I should go to Chicago (or perhaps Harvard, if admitted). But I do want to consult some professors from my law faculty before making a final decision.

Just got an email of rejectance. :(


I am sorry to inform you that, after reviewing the applications to the LL.M. program for the 2006-2007 academic year, the Advanced Legal Studies Committee of the School of Law is unable to offer you admission to this year’s class.

This year, we received more than 600 applications from 50 countries for the 65 places in the LL.M. program. As a result, we must exclude a great many highly-qualified applicants whom we would be pleased to have at Boalt Hall.

This email is sent in addition to an official document you should receive by postal mail with then next few weeks. We appreciate your interest in Boalt Hall and wish you much success in continuing your studies and your career.

Haven't received any feedback. Does it mean that I am still being considered or on the waiting list?

Hi, Roger,
Have you got "Taking the next step" with your SID and PIN?

Hi USSR,

I haven't received any further information from Boalt since having returned the SIR form. So I have neither the "Taking the next step"-document, nor a SID, nor a PIN...

I called yesterday the admissions office to get more details on the next steps. They confirmed to me that they would finalize the admission process first prior to sending any documentation to admitted students.

Have you already received this kind of documentation and information?

Best regards,

R

I'm also still waiting for their mail. I'm little bit worried about that, because postal service of my country is not so conscientious and very often they lose correspondence. I hope that Berkeley will use some kind of express mail service.
