Hello…
…and welcome to the first Admissions Blog for the 2008-09 application cycle. Actually, it’s the first Admissions Blog ever. Never having enough to do in the Admissions Office, we decided to add blogging to our job descriptions.
The application season is growing nearer and we’ve been looking for a more efficient and more conversational way to get (some) important and (a lot of) fun information to prospective applicants and admits. Blogging seems like a great option. And besides, how else will I justify spending my lunch hour walking around campus in order to find all the sushi restaurants and list their Cal-themed rolls? (Golden Bear Tutoring roll, Berkeley roll, Telegraph roll, Shattuck roll, Golden California roll...) Where else will you be able to discover whether we consider your high LSAT score or an average of your scores? And how else can we tell you about the excellent adventures fall travel season brings and share some of the questions you ask at our table? Hopefully we’ll successfully turn anecdote into opportunity and provide some useful tips along the way.
In the mean time, enjoy the newly redesigned website and check back often for updates and insights. Berkeley Law is an exciting place to learn and engage all at the same time and we hope our blog will bring a little bit of Berkeley to you. I’m off to try the Zoolander roll!

KTA, the website looks great! Good luck with that Zoolander roll. Personally I recommend the Golden CA…

It would be very interesting to learn much more about you: along with sushi, what do you do for fun? And, obviously, whether it is the average LSAT or the higher.
Thank you for creating the blog. After living in California for 10 years, I ate my first California Roll in Phuket, Thailand.

Thanks for the comments. I wish I could say I’d eaten a California Roll in Thailand! Yesterday I did eat a Mexican Roll in Berkeley (spicy crab, jalapeno, avocado, and tempura crunch) and surely that counts for something.
I promise I will answer the “high versus average LSAT” question, but it is a topic worthy of its own blog entry. It sounds like it could be easily answered, but it can’t. Sorry to leave a teaser, but you will have to hold out a little longer for the whole story.
