Columbia c/o 2020 applicants (2016-2017) Forum

[ProductofUnreality]

I am over both 75ths. Applied mid October, should I be concerned I didn't get an interview?

No. I applied early September and just interviewed with significantly worse numbers. Also you might not even need to interview. Relax, it's only been a month for you.

Anyone else just get an email from Columbia with the subject "Columbia Law School's Diverse Community"? I'm sure it means nothing, but it definitely made my heart skip a few beats.

Yes. I already interviewed, too. So I was really excited and then about as let down as possible.

interview pending, URM, RD

Is this some kind of test? When they ask why Columbia in my interview should I rattle off some of these diversity numbers? Lolol

Hey I didn't get it either. Maybe it's because I don't have good numbers lolz?

Not URM, no interview request. I also got way too excited when I saw the email preview on my phone.

I'm guessing it was sent to everyone who applied within a certain timeframe

When does CLS usually begin announcing acceptances?

[nslaw123]

When does CLS usually begin announcing acceptances?

Think the first ED decisions came out around this time last year. RD in January.

[Thelaw23]

They never had RD interviews this early though, no? Most of them were mid-December last year.

When does CLS usually begin announcing acceptances?

Usually at some point in January...see the spreadsheets for extensive timeline info

And are all admits interviewed?

[xnsch]

And are all admits interviewed?

No, Columbia only interviews a portion of its applicant pool, and many are admitted without interviews. It seems like nobody really has a firm grasp on why they interview certain people and not others

I read somewhere (possibly earlier on this thread) that interviews are likely for students who are a "maybe" for admission (i.e. lower numbers but not too low) and/or if you have something particularly interesting (good or bad) that they want to know more about in your app.
