No idea but since asw is March 16-18 I think we should hear one way or another before that with enough time to reasonably make travel plans.

If they have given you extra acceptances, I will gladly take one off your hands. :D
Plot twist: you are only admitted if you open the correct letter first. Choose wisely.

FWIW I did not write anything Berkeley specific either and my PS was two pages long. I have also never been to California. Above both 75th.

And I was accepted within a month. So you never know.

So is FR generally seen as positive, or a negative? Or no correlation to admits/WL's?

Seems like no correlation based on this thread's sample.

For people that received a decision today .. how long was your wait between FR and decision?

Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Lots of movement on status checkers today and I thought, "probably nothing on mine, I finally went UR last Monday." I was wrong. FR as of today. Anxiety levels increased. Maybe they were motivated because Trump's threat to defund Berkeley made them think, "well shit, let's get us some more lawyers who will represent us, now."
