After the events of 2/11, I feel like I'd be overjoyed with a WL. Anything to not get flat-out dinged.

[0L Hoping for 1]

I am scared to get my mail..

I am scared to get my mail..

Me too seriously

[PoorOrpheus]

Were there any acceptances in the postmarked 2/9 batch?

Georgina got in.

[GobiasIndustries]

Rejections are out and about; this is true. Got mine yesterday (I mentioned but maybe it got lost among everyone else's WL). The rejection letter is somewhat dismissive, actually, now that I've given it another look. Kind of meh about that.

GL to all the waiters, though...

I was in the 2/9 as well, also admitted.

GobiasIndustries, don't renege on your promise to post what it said...

Oh yeah!

After careful consideration of your application for admission, we regret to inform you that we are unable to take favorable action.

During this admissions season, we expect over 8,000 candidates will seek admission to our entering class, numbering approximately 370 students. This year's applicant pool promises to be among the largest and most highly qualified in our history. Competition for admission has never been more keen. We share your disappointment that, with such an abundance of highly qualified applicants for so relatively few openings, we are unable to accept many candidates who we felt would have made a significant contribution to our Law School.

Thank you for your interest in Columbia Law School and for your personal investment in our selection process. We wish you much success and satisfaction at your law school of choice and beyond, throughout your career.

I'll translate:

Thx bebe but it's not happening. Oh stop making that face; it's harder for us because there were a ton of people we wanted to accept but couldn't. Not you, though. We waitlisted them. Please don't try to transfer; it will further embarass you and waste our time.

[Snoopy1216]

People who have been rejected, when was it postmarked and where did it go/are u in the US (or abroad)?

lol, I think the first sentence is harsh, but the rest of it is pretty standard. I will probably be getting my very own copy in the mail today, if what happened to the rest of the people in this thread is any indication

[rockchalk86]

Place on first reserve! Pretty excited about this considering my numbers.

Letter was dated 2/9 and it arrived yesterday at my perm address in CT.

[castellon]

No mail again, I guess no mail > rejection or hold, although a rejection at this point might be a mercy killing.

Bien sûr! Jacques is (was?) the man.

[UrbanAchievers]

WL'd today via snail mail post marked 2/10. Not surprised with my 4.2 index.

Withdrawing my application. Good luck to the rest of you.

[democrattotheend]

Got a complete e-mail. I expect to be W/L (3.8/173). Best of luck to everyone.

I just realized we are numbers twins. I thought I had a shot at an outright admittance, and you probably have a better shot than I do because of your military experience. On LSN, there have been a number of people with similar or lower numbers admitted. But maybe getting into NYU made me overconfident.

[lz06]

Unable to take favorable action, lol what

[BaiAilian2013]

Nothing for me today. After Coal hears, I will assume that a dog ate my application.

[booboo]

Un[strike]able[/strike]willing to take favorable action, lol what

Fixt.

[democrattotheend]

I went complete on 1/21, I think, but have not gone under review yet. Is there a stage for under review, or does it just go from complete to decision?

[Core]

General question: Is "held" (at CLS, HLS, etc.) the equivalent of being "deferred," or does "deferred" have some other meaning?

[crackberry]

I like your new name

[strike]How[/strike] Why do people keep changing their names?

Fixed.

Gargamel, please tell.
