3.9/175, no $$, bad sign?

Congrats on the acceptance!

Perhaps someone more familiar with CLS' tactics can elaborate, but I have no clue why there was no $ at all for you.

Yeah, that is odd, maybe it'll come later? My understanding was that the schollies were typically to candidates that would likely be taking HYS otherwise, and with those numbers I would think you'd at least cop one of those? Do you have any negative softs? Are you KJD?

i had a hickup on my CLS app and didn't go complete until January 17. Has anyone with such a late complete date received word yet?

i expect i wont hear anything this wave

Nope. Last year the latest complete date to hear this wave was 1/9 and I would guess something similar for this year.

There are many more candidates with super high numbers than there are Hamilton/Butler offers, unfortunately. I tried to do a bit of searching on TLS about them this weekend, and from what I could gather, they tend to go to applicants from elite UGs and/or with good WE.

eta: but more importantly, CONGRATS on the acceptance! You'll have great options this cycle, and may still get substantial $$ at Columbia (just not a named scholarship).

With a 3.9/175, the dude should be fine either way.

Thanks all. Not too bummed about it; just freaked me out into thinking something was fundamentally wrong with my app.

Edit: Also, there was a person who got a Ruby and did not get a named scholarship from Columbia last year. This is just to assuage any fears others may have out there with high numbers/no scholarship.

Got a Rubenstein. The $10,000 stipend is just a delicious, bright red cherry on top of a delicious, delicious sunday.

I didn't get a named scholarship from Columbia either.

had my interview yesterday. no curveballs. mostly standard questions.

My interviewer seemed to hint that the decision post-interview will be quite quick, so I would not be surprised if I receive the decision early next week.

Thanks for the info!

An attorney at the firm I work for got a half-tuiton scholly (graduated 3 years ago or so) that was non-butler. It was named, some random lady, but he wasn't allowed to put the name on the resume apparently. So there's $$ to be had still, just not the resume boost of the butler/hamilton.

Do people really get resume boosts for the "named" scholarships? I would think grades, past WE, and certain extra-curriculars (LR, etc.) are all employers really care about.

It is my understanding that only the Hamilton/Butler are given with acceptance letters. Other scholarship money comes later.

Jingo I'm sure yours is coming. They are waiting for their shipment of gold leaf paper from Neiman's before they can send your letter out.

I may have, but shortly after that I discovered a mini Twix bar in my coat pocket that I had forgotten about, so the day was saved.
