Has anyone else checked their junk e-mail folder to make sure the Columbia interview invite wasn't in there to make sure that's not the reason why you haven't gotten an envelope yet?

Hahaha this has to be a sick joke, I just checked and here was the top email:

"Guaranteed Scholarships at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San Diego, CA"

[hippo-hapatamus]

I got that Thomas Jefferson email too. They have a nice 'scholarship matrix' that shows you a guaranteed scholarship based on GPA/LSAT. I wish Columbia had one of those.

Twice.

Funny enough, a few years back I was interested in doing a post-bach in philosophy in preparation for graduate studies in analytical phil. and considered Columbia for it. I never did it, but they kept sending me post-bach info emails, which I relegated to the spam folder. So my span folder is actually filed with emails from "Columbia University."

I actually only designed it as spam recently, and that was because I sent my apps in.

Still waiting...

That 1/30 postmark gave me some hope. But after three consecutive WL's from UVA, UChi, and Penn, I need some good news!

+1
my last 4 notices have been WL at uva, uchi, penn, and a faculty review from berkeley. Definitely liking the first half of this cycle more than the second.

Furiousduck, canes, JWP, and to anyone else I missed - Congratulations!!!

Btw, the snailmail-waiting process sounds absolutely brutal; you can't even express your stress by relentlessly hitting the F5 button...

So after reading a few posts in this thread a few pages back, I checked LSAC and realized I sent my two prof. LoRs and neglected to send along the LoR from my current boss. I realize this probably isn't a make or break thing, esp. since some people don't even want their current employers knowing about law school, but seeing as Columbia makes it a point to ask for a supervisor LoR if you are working full-time, I can't help but ask: is the consensus that I probably should send it along now if I have it on hand? Or would that just pointlessly hold up my application? thanks everyone ... now back to closely following these post-mark dates!

I didn't send any employer stuff at all. I don't think that will really effect you, honestly. Maybe save it for a waitlist if necessary.
