Is Berkeley Law on “rolling admissions”? Is there an early admission program?
Berkeley Law operates a rolling admissions process. It is slow and methodical because each file is reviewed and no numeric cutoff points are employed. It is helpful to apply as early as you are able because we begin making offers as soon as we begin reading files in late October. Because there are fewer complete applications at the same time, we have the maximum number for offers available at the beginning of the cycle, so there is an advantage to applying early. That said, we don’t admit anyone who doesn’t meet our standards simply because he or she applied early, nor do we give any less consideration to those who apply later. We do not offer an early decision program or deadline.
