Just curious what borough are you from, and when was the VCE postmarked?newyorker91 wrote:Received VCE as well today! Complete 1/24, 173/3.74
Huh? Didn't they all have 173+/3.65+?WhiteGuy5 wrote:Congrats to hazedandconfused!
As to everyone else who is still waiting: there is hope, but with January submitters that don't have auto-admit numbers getting in, I'd say we're heading into not-so-good-territory. I'm bracing for the worst.
Since when is a 3.65 auto-admit, let alone Columbia median?luxxe wrote:Huh? Didn't they all have 173+/3.65+?WhiteGuy5 wrote:Congrats to hazedandconfused!

Tbf, that poster had a 175 and most GPAs have been higher. Columbia's medians are 172/3.72. Maybe they aren't auto-admit, but it seems like most are at/above both medians or JUST below. We don't know what not hearing back yet means.WhiteGuy5 wrote:Since when is a 3.65 auto-admit, let alone Columbia median?luxxe wrote:Huh?

Also someone just got in who submitted in mid September.luxxe wrote:Tbf, that poster had a 175 and most GPAs have been higher. Columbia's medians are 172/3.72.

Yeah. Also.. aren't they all in NYC? Maybe our letters are just in the mail right now .FryBreadPower wrote:

One of the people accepted today was a September submit, so I don't think it's time to lose hope if you haven't heard back yet.WhiteGuy5 wrote:Congrats to hazedandconfused!

Yeah with 2/14 postmark dates. I don't know where you guys are but I'm out here on the west coast so there is no way a VCE would make it out here by now if it had the same post mark date. I'll give it three or four days before I start freaking out about it.luxxe wrote:Yeah. Also.. aren't they all in NYC? Maybe our letters are just in the mail right now .FryBreadPower wrote:

I'm kind of scared of getting held in a few weeks, but mostly I am fucking ecstatic that I haven't been rejected or reserved yet.
That September submitter had a 180 on the LSAT.luxxe wrote:Yeah. Also.. aren't they all in NYC? Maybe our letters are just in the mail right now .FryBreadPower wrote:

Heh I know how you feel. I have seen two admits with identical numbers to me be admitted now and multiple others with very similar numbers. If I didn't get in it would be hard to think that I didn't do something on my application that made me look like an idiot. Plus I always feel like a jackass when people ask, "WHERE YOU GOING TO LAW SCHOOL?!?!" and "Well....IF" are the first two words out of my mouth.WhiteGuy5 wrote:That September submitter had a 180 on the LSAT.luxxe wrote:Yeah.

Honestly, I'd be super pissed to get Held. I've driven myself so crazy waiting for CLS that getting put on Hold would be the most nerve-racking thing to happen. I just want an up and down vote on my app . I've fought my inner demons and have no problem going to NYU. The sooner I know, the sooner I can pack for the appropriate trip!
Also: to add to my pessimism, I am within the vicinity of CLS, which means I don't have an excuse for no mail!
Which.....would imply that even people with high numbers may have to wait a while. That should be encouraging. No response does not mean rejection, as september-submitter proved.WhiteGuy5 wrote: That September submitter had a 180 on the LSAT.
Thank you. This helped. I'm sick of coming off as a pretentious/pompous dick every time I go "Well I'm still waiting for Harvard and Columbia."FryBreadPower wrote: Heh I know how you feel.

Sorry to drag this on brah. I know how frustrating it must be. I have a friend with similar numbers as me headed to Harvard.

5+ people with my numbers have been accepted to NYU and I have got nothin'. UGH.
I'm doing a lot of this to convince myself I'm not getting held/rejected either, tbh. That line of yellow at 170 on LSN says otherwise, but I can dream.WhiteGuy5 wrote:Sorry to drag this on brah.

I think you're thinking about this too much. Your numbers give you a good shot. Just hang in there.WhiteGuy5 wrote:Does anyone think Columbia could be trying to raise there LSAT median to 173 this cycle by dropping there class size?
