Columbia 2011! Forum

[Evrydyhonestliar]

to lighten up the mood here, how come so many (future) lawyers are cat-people? I would think there'd be more dog-people. or specifically TLSers are just lolcat-people?

I'm rabbit people. (See my avatar) Although dogs and cats are pretty sweet too.

I don't like pets/animals in general. Just pictures of them.

So I still haven't received any word from Columbia-- I got an application complete email 11/29, and live in Columbus, OH. Stats are 174/3.97-- Are people thinking waitlist, or hold out hope for some good news soon?

Stay patient. You're numbers are too good, I wouldn't be worried at all.

I got the Georgetown envelope in Los Angeles today but no VCE.

Maybe tomorrow?

All of this VCE drama is affecting my <3 of CLS

You'll love them once you get your acceptance. Plus everyone who goes there ends up hating life anyway.

I was speaking with my friend today (a PhD student) and the conversation was just perfect for this thread.

"Oh, so what are you doing next year? Grad school?" "Yeah, I'm going to law school." "Very cool, do you know where you're going yet?" "No, I still need to go visit schools in the spring" "Wait, so did you get in anywhere yet, or are you just planning on going?" "No, I've been accepted to a couple places." "Like what?" "Columbia, Chicago, NYU, Berkeley." "Very nice, you have options about where you want to be in the country." "Yeah, west coast, mid west, east coast. Oh yeah, I also got into Georgetown." "Oh my gosh Georgetown, that would be awesome!"

*sigh*

I was told by someone who goes to Columbia and is involved in the admissions office but is not on the committee that there really are going to be more waves of admissions packages for people who applied earlier. Idk. That's what I was told.
4.5 Index here +URM too. No VCE

Hmmm, this is nice I wonder if this means specifically waves for people with great numbers (like you) who are going to get schollies, as has been speculated - or whether they could be general waves.

+1 I'm sure there will be waves, but the question is when and how much constitutes a "wave"? At least from past years' data, it really did seem like last week of Jan. or bust.

really?

Looool. Same thing has happened to me so many times.

[sgtgrumbles]

Still no vomit in Brooklyn. It's been a pretty boring January...only one acceptance, and at a school I'm hardly interested in.

Don't worry grumbles, you'll get in. You believed in me once; now I believe in you!

Welcome to Socialism. My feelings toward our system is rather mixed . All I know is that as of now I think i'd prefer to work in the USA and retire in Canada.

Eh, capitalist mail isn't that good either. Exhibit A: NYU letter that took 5 days to reach me when I live 40 minutes away from the school.

Mine took over 3 weeks. Plus we don't have mail service on saturdays.

And our taxes are higher! Its exorbitant!

[GraniteState]

30 pages of catching up, and all I've learned is that people with similar stats and similar locations are hearing, but I'm not. Damnit.

For better or for worse, it'd be nice to get an answer and finally be able to get excited about this or some other place.

And preferably, for better.

I'm dreaming of a (0L equivalent of a) white christmas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eYSpIz2FjU

[rundoxierun]

With the amount of high numbers still waiting and the fact that so few people have reported receiving named schollys they have to still be deciding scholarship stuff and planning more waves.

Lawlz at the US having a capitalistic mail system.
