Did you call the J.D. admissions number?

Since they normally notify admittances with a call/email, I doubt anybody will find out good news by calling them if we haven't heard anything.

The most you could hope for is no news or a waitlist - but I'm glad to get the ding over with, I don't like waiting.

D*mn!  I just called AGAIN, had them ask me my name/last 4 digits, and STILL the answer was "decision letters will be mailed out next week."  I should keep trying until a male answers, based on previous poster. :P

You think it means something GOOD?  I highly doubt it because they notify people as they're admitted it seems.  Just the denials/waitlists seem to be taking forever.  I don't think I'd leave the east coast honestly but I really don't think it's going to be an option.  I don't see why they'd give bad news but not good news over the phone?

It's really rare for admissions to give any decisions that are negative (or even positive) over the phone.  Weird.

Berkeley Ding baby! Cal was my top choice, but more for the location then anything. Maybe that and the African American Law Review Journal.

The number I called is: 510-642-2274 (the Admissions office number from their website)

The first couple times it went to a recording which basically means they're busy.  I kept trying, eventually got a nice sounding man who gave me some not very nice news... sort of like a gentle doctor telling you that he's going to have to amputate your foot.

That's the number I called.  I'm almost 100$ sure I was denied based on who they admit.  Oh well.  Hopefully, the letter will come soon . ..

This guy seems cool.  Maybe I'll call just to chat.  He'll ask for the last 4 digits of my SS, and I'll ask who he thinks the Texans will draft in April.
