According to LSN, a bunch of decisions went out from Columbia around this time last year.

Do people on this forum think they will follow a similar schedule this year? I've been complete since the beginning of December, and it would be very nice to break my 1 month+ lull!

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the consensus is they will e-mail first round acceptances sometime next week but it will not even be close to exhaustive of their decisions. Many more acceptances and then rejections will come out in Feb/March.

Are we agreed on that?

Columbia goes back in session after MLK Jr. Day, and for the past three years that's when they've been mailing acceptances.

Do you guys think I have any chance of hearing in the first round if they asked for an updated grade report four weeks ago?

How extensive is this first round of acceptances of which everyone is speaking? Is it only people who went complete in Oct/Nov that hear or is it just the top end people that they're sure about regardless of when they went complete or is it some sort of combination of the two? If they go in order of completion, then do they tell you you've been waitlisted by email if you don't meet their auto-admit numbers?

Is it reasonable to assume that we'll hear from Columbia by the end of March? Do you think the adcomms are reading all of the speculation about their decision timing and getting a great laugh about it over a playoff party tomorrow? Go Chargers!!!! (Yeah, I know that won't happen.)

Here's last year's LSN acceptances, organized by notification date: http://lawschoolnumbers.com/search_scho ... &program=1

It looks like the first round is pretty extensive. Basically, if you were complete before the new year and accepted, you were notified in the first week (January 23rd-29th). Those complete in most of January were accepted in February, and then those complete at the end of January and during February were accepted in March. There were a few stragglers accepted in April.

Maybe they mailed them the week before?

Maybe they email.

Maybe the status checker says "WE LOVE YOU!"

In any case, I find out this week whether I'm going to UIUC on March 7th for the ASW.

I mean that's the consensus but no one knows for sure of course. Believe me, once some people get in the boards will have plennnnty of posts on it. You'll know.

Does the status checker change to decision at any point, or does it only tell you whether you're complete?

I think the status checker just tells you complete. Could be wrong though...

That's correct. At the bottom of the status page, it says decisions will come only by mail.

Yeah, I just wasn't sure whether this meant you would be informed by the checker that a decision had been mailed out. I wish it were clearer- sounds like I've been wasting my time obsessively opening the status checker in the months since it rolled to "complete".

I have heard an eyewitness account of a large stack of green envelopes being mailed from Columbia. The admissions office also let me know that I would receive my decision soon. Good luck everyone!
