The UW rejection letter starts with "notwithstanding your personal and academic accomplishments" and goes into the whole too many qualified applicants spiel...
So basically as I read the letter I hear this. You were good enough, we put all the applications in one of those arcane bingo tumblers and pulled out 185 of them, sorry we didn't grab yours...
They do mention that they would be a happy to talk to you about future applications after May 1, so apparently they want to make sure the bingo tumbler is nice and full every year. The lady who answers the phones at there admissions office is mean as hell too, she just angrily directs you to the website like "How dare you call THE University of Washington School of Law Admissions Office, this phone is here so that I can order pizza and have phone sex with my boyfriend...goodbye (and burn in hell).
