Just got in today too. Been lurking on this thread, but nice to be able to speak of some movement happening. Congrats to the other folks who got in.

Congrats!!

So after three months of radio silence, I emailed Columbia last week asking why the completion of my app was still pending. They told me that I needed to contact a previous educational institution and have them send in a Dean's Certification for a minor C&F issue (for distributing a proxy site in a dorm so we could access Facebook... gotta love BYU-Idaho) during my freshman year. Now that I've cleared up that problem, I literally just went complete today, haha. FML. If I had any chance of sneaking onto Columbia's wait list before, it's completely gone now.

Congrats to all the recent admits, though!

This made me laugh, and I bet some members of Columbia AdComm will laugh (or at least crack a smile) too. Laughter --> good mood. Good Mood --> ACCEPTANCE!! congrats

I'm definitely digging that logic. Let's hope the CLS AdComm feels the same way, haha.

anyone else with no updates (no holds as well) since going complete mid-jan?

Yep. I think I went complete 1/15.

roger that. You think it's a bad sign?

Considering their ASW is next week, it's not the greatest sign.

Nope. Hasn't seen any other helds post about movement either.

Not yet, but I'm getting there. The list is definitely getting shorter.

I visited Columbia a few days ago... y'all... it's kind of a depressing building.

[FlowBro]

How likely is it that some acceptances go out to January completes this week?

if you don't mind me asking, where are you headed to over CLS and why?

debatably true, but Columbia is a beautiful university overall so I think net attractiveness of the the campus ranks pretty high

[az21833]

it's like they tried to make the building riot proof. It's a maze. And the library is beyond depressing. The campus is gorgeous though

... that's so disappointing. Architecture and layout actually are make-it-or-break-it factors in my decision.

Right after square footage of the library?

[J90]

It's prettier indoors.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not... damn you interwebs.

YES. If I have to fight off those damn undergrads for study space during finals, my classmates will get a very real lesson in criminal law...

(Embarrassingly, I'm not kidding. One of my reservations about SLS is the mission architecture. I dislike mission architecture.)

Hahahaha sorry the West Coast didn't want to copy the East Coast - your lack of appreciation for west coastian heritage and culture is disappointing!

Not as surprising as you might think. Many folks are turned off by 'furds architecture.
