Received my acceptance packet today. Really nice, with a cool map of the Bay area included. Also had a post-it note from the adcomms that quoted one of my LOR which was really cool. Apparently they actually read those, now I'm interested in which Prof. wrote the one they liked

So at this point, if I've been UR since 12/22 and didn't go under FR, is it safe to assume a ding? I just hate constantly getting worked up during acceptance waves if there's little chance I'll get one at this point

Haha, thanks! I'm really caught off guard!

When I took my last LSAT I was just trying to get into my state school, and now I'm overwhelmed with the options

I'm not familiar with your cycle or numbers (couldn't find you on LSN), but I'm rooting for you!

Not at all! You've only been UR for a little over a month; I know of some people who waited several months before getting accepted. Until you've heard back you're still in the game.

Mine had a little personalized post it note too! Love when schools take the time to add those touches, it really makes a difference.

It also says that there is a formal procedure for scholarship reconsideration which includes a specific dollar amount request (which is an interesting approach). In scholarship reconsideration you can include other schools offers.
where exactly did you see that? I can't seem to find it on my calcentral account

CONGRATS! That's a super quick turn around, so it was probably not a difficult decision to accept you.

Extremely happy for you and also hoping this means they can move more applications to UR haha.
