On some level...you have to think they'll accept more non FR at some point.

Have they ever done this before this late in the game (outside of January apps)?
Edward Tom wrote:Dear goden,
After reviewing thoroughly your application for admission to UC Berkeley School of Law, the Admissions Committee has decided, with regret, not to offer you a place in the Class of 2016.
Our decision was not easy. The majority of our applicants are well-qualified to pursue the study of law, and indeed many of them are qualified to pursue that study at Berkeley. But with more than twenty applicants competing for each place in the class, our choices must be highly selective. Although our review process is thorough, it is also human, fallible, and in part subjective.
You are to be congratulated on your accomplishments, and I hope that you will be admitted at other law schools. If Berkeley Law remains your first choice you may wish to consider applying to transfer at the end of your first year at another ABA-approved law school. Transfer applicants are evaluated primarily on their first-year performance, and we offer advanced standing admission to 40-45 students annually from an applicant pool of approximately 250-300 candidates.
I am sorry that this letter must convey disappointing news. We wish you all the best in your applications to other law schools and in your career. Thank you very much for your interest in Berkeley Law and for entrusting us with your application.
Sincerely,
Edward Tom
Dean of Admissions

Can someone post this really nice rejection letter?

I don't really get what the big fuss is about a "nice" rejection letter. So instead of saying, "you suck, we don't want you or your kind at our prestigious institution," they say, "We love you and know that you tried very hard, but we just cannot take all of the awesome people that apply." Both mean the same thing: we do not want you. If anything, the former is more honest.

Means more coming from Ron Swanson.

I'm late October no movement, no FR. Probably means FR2, but who really knows.
