I did. Until I was held this morning. Can you move my stats from non-held to held?

Now I'm really wondering why I got held when others with better numbers are getting reserved.

omg this is SCARY. Being a no-hold is def not a fun place to be when reserves/dings are coming out...i have a feeling im gonna get reserved too

best of luck to all those on the WL. But don't worry! I'm sure you'll all end up in great law schools.

I wondered why I got accepted while other people with better numbers got held. Just how it goes, I guess.

Wait, you were held yesterday? Ack! There is no safety anywhere!


My condolences. My application died a slow death in Reserve last year. The wording sounds so elite (First Reserve? How selective! That can't be the same as waitlist....) And then you find out that they don't call it a "wait" list because you aren't actually waiting for admission, because it will surely never come..... I am befuddled by CLS' decision making process at the moment.

Apologies if this has already been covered (didn't see it in the last few pages), what exactly is the difference between a hold/reserve? What did the hold e-mail say? The reserve e-mail says the next evaluation of candidates on reserve will begin at the end of May.

Correct me if I'm wrong--but I don't think Azn got held. I think he just did the held spreadsheet :D
Edit: Whoops. Beat me to it.

Please note that decisions will not be available online(Unless it's held, or reserved and maybe soon denied); rather, all applicants will receive their Positive decisions by mail.

Thank you for your continued interest in Columbia Law School.

Those held will receive a decision by Aprill 22nd. They can be Accepted, Denied, or Reserved.
