Same! FR for me, with a decision on/around 2/27. At least this is movement!

WL today after FR1.
Bummed, Berkeley was a dream and I put the most work into that app out of any *sigh*
currently listening to Shake it Off but it isn't helping
Congrats to all you admits and GL to those trying to ride out the waitlist!

I was part of the FR review bunch who received the email on Jan. 13. We were supposed to get decisions today or around today. Well here is what happened to me. Berkeley did email me today with a short and sweet email. This is it word for word.

"I write to inform you that the Admission Committee has decided to include your application in a small group that is being held for further consideration.We anticipate that a final decision will be available on or about February 27.

Thank you for your patience.

Edward Tom
Dean of Admissions"

What could this mean? I am super happy I wasn't WL'd or ding'd, and my condolences to those who were but I'm sure all of you have some awesome options and congrats to all new admits! I was just wondering if anyone had any idea what this could me. Could it be a good thing, bad thing or just something indifferent?
FR1.5?? I'm guessing they just haven't gotten through all the apps yet and were overly optimistic with the Feb 6 deadline so they're trying to push it back.

Certainly better than a ding/WL today. I'm guessing it's neutral.
That is what I was thinking. I'm curious to see if this happens to anyone else on TLS today.

Just happened to me. For those curious, PM for stats.

UR 1/12. FR 2/6

The email said decisions will be made on or around 2/27. So there's no use checking continuously? Though at this point, I'm not really hopeful for Berkeley.

UR 1/20; moved to FR today.

Just got FR2 as well. Was wondering if we have similar stats...mind sharing? I'm 3.65/170.

I mean, I am totally biased as an FR2, but ... why not be hopeful? We just saw a bunch of FR1s get admitted not 5 minutes ago. This is what I'm telling myself, at least.

Rejected after faculty review. Above both 75th. Oh well!

UR 1/23, FR today.. I actually can't believe it. My numbers suck for Berkeley.

Still complete silence for me since going UR on 11/17.

I was really surprised to get to FR as well. I figured I'd be an auto reject. GPA << 25 and 50<LSAT<75

Also got the "we'll make a decision by the 27th" email. First movement since UR 1/20

Can someone explain the FR process a little more? What type of indicator is that for Acceptance, Waitlist, or Rejection?

Now I am really freaking out. After a morning of hitting F5, so no movement after UR 1/20, not even FR. What does this mean?

Any idea what this means? UR 12/2 here (not as long as you guys but close). Not hearing anything is killing me.

Another FR2 checking in. At least I don't need to think about it for a couple weeks?

When did you all hear about FR today? Just now or much earlier today?

My email came at 3:02EST today. If you haven't heard anything yet, there's still 5 hours of the PST workday left so I don't think you need to worry.

Same. Do we have any non FR1 admits/denials today?
