I'm pleased to announce the first reported ding of Columbia's cycle, top 2% at a TTT with no real ties to NY.

ETA: via snail mail

Sorry to hear about a few dings.

Why can't CLS just notify people in an e-mail that they've been rejected? The 2 (or so) days that the decision is in the mail is just additional time wondering (read: stressing [in most cases]) if you've been accepted/rejected.

Interesting that this is the first we're hearing about rejections. Given that they're going out by snail mail, we may hear of more every day this week ... it *is* July 23, after all. If I don't hear from them by Friday, I'm just going to have to assume that I have no chance

Still waiting to go complete. As much fun as picking the leftover scraps from the OCI lottery sounds, I think I'll go to Penn and enjoy my 60 bids.

If I don't hear from Columbia by the end of the day, I'm going to withdraw and put my deposit down at NYU (I'm leaning toward NYU anyway). Hopefully we see a bunch of positive decisions roll out today though.

I just got in this morning via email. Was leaning NYU, but plan to talk to some people at Columbia first before making a decision.

Dear _____,

Thank you for your interest in Columbia Law School. We are unable to guarantee a specific timeline for a decision; however, the Admissions Committee will be made aware of your request.

Best wishes,

Columbia Law School

I got the same response.

Dear Columbia Admissions Office,

Because it is now late July and I must arrange my affairs for a long distance move in the next several weeks, I am unable to continue to wait for a decision from Columbia Law School. Please accept this email as a withdrawal of my application.

Respectfully,

[Member of the University of Pennsylvania Law School Class of 2014, but really I just put my name here]

Anyone still at "completion pending"? Has anyone been admitted without going from "completion pending" to "complete"?

I'm still completion pending. I kinda want to see what they do, although even if I get in now I'm not going. Kinda ridiculous that they haven't even processed some apps yet.

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.

Deposit paid. Withdrawing from NYU. Look forward to meeting you all in a few weeks.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
