Columbia 2011! Forum

Why do I feel like this hasn't been mentioned? Last year's acceptances seem to have rolled out for like 2 weeks (although it's hard to tell when envelopes actually arrived/what date people put down)

http://columbia.lawschoolnumbers.com/ap ... r=desc&p=4 and into page 3, as well

Same thing in 2009

I think some of it is correlated with submission date. When I did it that way, this is what I got:

So there are some outliers, but when you hear back seems to have something to do with when you submitted.

Yeah, it looks way worse that way

Well I searched my numbers on LSN to remind myself that literally no one with my numbers gets a dollar from CLS and thus I would probably have a panic attack if I went there, and I feel SLIGHTLY better about rejection.. lol

Postmarked: Jan 24th

Letter Dated: Jan 24th

Envelope Color: Light Yellowish Green, not very heavy

ok, I think those are the relevant specifics

also: I applied on October 31st

Thanks!

So still no confirmation of the 1/26 wave... It would probably come to NYC if anywhere, right?

[cardinals1989]

Congrats buddy, i'm stoked for you . Where do you have CLS in your school list?

Right now, Stanford and Harvard (if I get in, obviously) are above all the rest. After that, it is a toss up between Georgetown and Columbia.

Assuming I'm not getting in, I got into every school to which I applied with a fee waiver- and was rejected from every school where I paid to apply.

Shoulda saved myself some money.. lol

Really wishing for that VCE, tat waitlist/rejection 4 years ago hurt Columbia. Make up for it in my mailbox today? Pretty please??

I'm the complete opposite right now. Fee waivers suck lol

I kept screwing up the spreadsheet form, so forgive my three separate entries.

Exact same position here. It feels like sweet redemption. First this my mom said to me once I told her was: "They should have done the same thing 4 years go!"

lol <3 my mom

[jd2014!]

This is nuts. I know a VCE isn't going to pop up in my email inbox, but everytime I get an email I throw up in my mouth a little bit anyway.

lol are we talking about UG? I was also waitlisted at Columbia-- but since I got rejected pretty much everywhere else, I've always had a soft spot for them. PLEASE DON'T RUIN IT.

Fingers crossed! Here's to lots of moms saying that in the near future!

Also, I agree about the heart stopping with e-mails. At this point in the cycle, every single time the red light flashes on my blackberry my heart stops. Seriously.

[gatorgirl4life]

i've never been rejected or waitlisted from a school before...but i have a feeling this will change soon.
happier note - a lot of people in this thread are getting VCEs today.

I'm sure you'll be aight at Harvard.

I know it sounds strange, especially on the TLS forums. But I really love DC, so the location definitely gives me a little bit of Georgetown love. Also, I really dislike extreme cold. But I also know it would be hard to pass up the opportunities Columbia provides.

VCE yet, Non?

Has anyone received a VCE but not a Georgetown letter or whatever they're mailing these days?

Nope, didn't get the G-Town packet either. The snow has probably ruined a lot of things. You?

This has to be a good omen for us all.

Yes, indeed! I mean, wasn't it obvious when I said opportunities that I meant time to spend with TLS friends??

I don't even have that much of a chance, yet my heart skips a beat whenever I get e-mail/text/call. It also doesn't help that some neighbours of mine kept on getting big envelops sticking out of his/her mailboxes...
this can't be good for my heart!
