On a side note... any idea why the "View your posts" and "View new posts" buttons don't work?

[Confused7]

Anybody else applied around 11/10 and still completion pending? I know the general consensus is more than the two week period but I guess I'm just one of those nervous types.

I applied on 11/10 and just became complete today...after I emailed them to ask the timeline/to check in. I wouldn't worry about it, but you can also email them next week. My guess is you'll be complete pretty promptly.

A 4.296 was accepted ED last yr.

Doesn't that just get rounded to 4.3?

[supahstahxruv]

Are all these fall grade requests for ED or RD people? Thanks!

i'm RD.

i finally got around to checking past threads and this seems like a pretty standard thing and it was asked from a range of LSAT scores and GPAs... hoping its a good sign regardless because i'd much rather delude myself into thinking that than dwelling on the other possibilities

[Ragged]

Got a complete email.

Yes, but we don't know whether they're looking at LSAC rounded number or a more precise number.

Fair enough.

[egyptianprescription]

Just got a fall grades request as well. 3.99 GPA...

Me too, same GPA. Are you ED?

Does this mean there is no way we hear before fall grades are out?

I'm RD so I wasn't expecting to hear back until late January anyway.

I also just got an email for fall grades - 3.7 and a 171 LSAT.

RD or ED?

RD - I am not upset about it, if anything it will probably help me because my GPA will be bumped up to a 3.8

According to obrienfa's LSN profile she is not ED to CLS.

We are numbers twins.

OBrienfa...

You have made my weekend. TY.

Of course maybe she just didn't mention ED on LSN. But Actually that would still be pretty exciting.

PS: sorry for stalking you on LSN, I realize that's minorly creepy.

She said in the Berkeley thread that she didn't ED anywhere.

Philly is right, I didn't ED anywhere.

Every time i read one of these posts I feel somewhat left out for not getting a grade request-- then I realize, oh yeah, I'm not even IN school anymore. Guh. Someone needs to chiiilll.

I hope they don't ask me for a grade update. It won't make a big difference, but...damn freshman level intro courses!

I hope they don't ask me for a grade update. It won't will make a big difference, but and...damn freshman level intro courses! senioritis.

FTFM

Do they ever request graduate level fall grades?

I have an index (right now at least) of a 4.285. Is it worth throwing the ED app Columbias direction next cycle? That number might raise over the course of this year but i don't see it going any higher than a 4.34 if everything goes absolutely according to plan.

Thanks!

In a word: yes!

Depends on your goals and whether or not you want Columbia more than any others. If you're planning on doing ED you also need to consider that you will not be able to compare scholarships. The ED might be a little more effective elsewhere, though, as Columbia seems to have a cutoff at about the 4.3. It might be more prudent to ask this question again once you update your index.

Edit: Nevermind, just looked at your profile, you actually might be good on an ED app.

I'm actually indifferent between NYU and Columbia although there is serious pressure from home that is making me lean to Columbia. I would rather get into CCN and pay sticker than way scholly options anywhere else, which is why I'm fine with an ED to one of the three schools, but the 4.3 index cuttoff scares me.

If you keep your GPA above 3.61 (25th %), you should be fine. CLS is pretty LSAT heavy. In any case, an ED might not even be necessary: http://columbia.lawschoolnumbers.com/ap ... ,5&type=jd

CLS seems to like your #s combo.

I'm working on that now. I have a 3.56, but this quarter that should jump to 3.6+. I have 2 more quarters. I'm also graduating a year early and looking for a job. Hopefully a years work experience helps me out.

So when CLS asks for fall grades does that mean the grades are supposed to be re-submitted through LSAC? Or should they get sent straight from the undergrad institution?

From my email: "As soon as possible, please send us a report of your fall term grades by email, while at once requesting from your registrar that an official transcript be sent directly to Columbia Law School."

I took that to mean we send grades to CLS, not through LSAC.

I was going to send it directly to CLS as well.
