I think Napolean is an international?

Oh yeah, I think you are right.

[NapoleonXV]

Interviewees find out via email? Best. Perk. Ever.

yea i am int'l. should have mentioned that

[drawstring]

and congrats Napolean!

[pokemonsters]

I feel like too many strong candidates haven't gotten in yet for me to get overly worried. Can't see CLS getting super picky given their median drop, large class size, and large drop in apps. Maybe we'll be in the batch with the first interviewees.

That's my guess, drawstring. Here's to hoping!

[Wild Card]

Because we are uncertain regarding the plans of some applicants whom we have already admitted, it is necessary for us to postpone making a determination on your application until the end of May, when we will begin reviewing those candidates on Reserve and offering some admission to our 2014 class.

[drawstring]

So it begins. Stats?

Via email?

Also, sorry to hear that but there is still hope!

Subject: Please see the attached document for a decision on your application

First line of the email: We wish to inform you that, after careful deliberation, our admissions committee has decided to postpone making a final decision on your candidacy.

I think that, by definition, is not a decision.

Decided to not decide. How very Ivy League of them

Ditto. I was placed on First Reserve. Does your letter make mention of same?

I'm not even sure what this means.

GL to those still waiting!

Yes, my starts similarly, but goes on to say I am in the Reserved group...whatever that means.

[kershka]

Sorry for all those placed on reserve though I'm not quite sure what that means. Is it a waitlist? A hold?

I got this too. It's basically "We've decided...that it's too early to decide."

so we were waitlisted right? They just don't want to call it that? Their description of "reserved" sounds an awful lot like the definition of "waitlisted". I am confused if I should be sending an LOCI or if I should just wait to be officially waitlisted THEN send it...

[teenybean]

I don't think columbia has a "waitlist". They just call it reserve but it's the same thing except for the fact that they don't rank the list (they look at the group as a whole when they decide to accept people).

So basically a way to not have rolling admissions while having rolling admissions. Why does any place do this? Why don't they just change from rolling to precipice admissions?

[applelover]

In at Columbia two minutes ago!

Interviewed on Wednesday and just got the email

No mention of scholarship though. will they come later?

Congrats!

[jingosaur]

Above both 75ths and still no response, neither an acceptance letter nor an email waitlist

There are a lot of people in this boat. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

[drawstring]

Yep, there are just too many of us with strong numbers who are waiting to hear back.

[lawschool22]

They may be just a bit slower this year like many other T14s

[Jessasaurus]

Mannn waitlists are coming out? Just as I thought it would be okay not to be afraid of my email anymore after the Harvard rejection wave seems to have passed. Now this.

For so many months I was eagerly and excitedly checking my email. Now I'm scared to.

[t-14orbust]

Count me in for the >75ths waiters club. I may have received something in the past few days though- I kind of left my mailbox key at a friends house last week hahaha
