FR today, UR1 12/19

I'm actually pleasantly surprised. I thought for sure I'd be dinged what with a lowish (for Berkeley) GPA and no Why Berk

Under review since late December but was not included in the waive of FR. What does this mean for us non-FRers? Flat-out rej?

yes such a wonderful touch! also jw- the inner packet in my physical acceptance packet was about social justice at berkeley--which is what i'm interested in--and i was wondering if a) everyone got that packet; b) it was just random; or c) it was because of the social justice focus of my application. either way, it is great to have!
I also got that packet, but social justice happens to be my focus too. :)
