Depends how long ago you went complete--January or earlier and it doesn't look good. I went complete in January. Whatever.

Less than a month for me, I was really late.

This school told me I'd hear before the end of March. If I don't hear within the next 48 hrs I'm just going to assume I've been admitted.

Re: Columbia 2010
Makes sense. At this time in past years, admits from hold heard via e-mail. WLs/rejects came via the mail.chutzpah wrote:Do we think maybe they're using email notification because the end is drawing near?

Re: Columbia 2010
Are non-holds accepted via email? My status check simply reads "complete", I applied close to the deadline.

Re: Columbia 2010
I also applied quite close to deadline. From what I can tell, it would seem we'll need to wait for an actual mailing. They don't update past "Complete." No "Decision Rendered" or anything along those lines.IHaveDietMoxie wrote:Are non-holds accepted via email? My status check simply reads "complete", I applied close to the deadline.

Re: Columbia 2010
Well, I found my letter (thought I'd burned that thing....) the other day, and on mine at least it essentially said that they would begin reviewing again at the end of March. Now I fear we've still weeks to go.LaurenGayle wrote:Nope -- but they promised by the end of March, right?

I just received an e-mail (I am a hold) asking me for a letter of continuing interest. I did send one last week and am assuming the office has not processed it, but I thought people here might be interested/also received it.

Ditto. I think it was just a standard email to all of us. When I sent in my LOCI, I did get an email confirmation saying they added it to my file. I wouldn't worry about it.lz06 wrote:uh wtf columbia. just got the email asking to send a one page statement expressing my continued interest. I sent a LOCI like a month ago thank you....

ETA: jl2032, how long after did you receive an e-mail confirmation? I know mine was delivered earlier this week but have not received one.

Re: Columbia 2010
They're being super nice to give people another 7 days to send in their LOCI.
If I were in their place, I'd throw out any files for people who couldn't do it by the 3/31 date. I guess I'm not that nice a person.

FWIW I mailed my LOCI in at end of February but just in case decided to send a pdf of it by email Monday, with a note "in case you didn't see it." I got a response yesterday saying that they would add it to my file, implying they hadn't already.

I sent it both by email and regular mail. They responded to my email the next day:
Thank you for your continued interest in Columbia Law School. We will add this letter to your file.

I sent one ages ago, but I feel like I'm going to get penalized for not sending another one.
Anyone else notice the subtle change in the language from the Hold letter to this e-mail? "Please be advised that you will receive a decision from the Committee no later than April 21, 2010" becomes "we will make every effort to mail your decision no later than the date specified in your letter" (emphasis added).
Is this sarcasm? Most (all?) people on hold have had over a month, in my case almost two months, to send in a LOCI. They're fucking stalling, is what they're doing.jl2032 wrote:They're being super nice to give people another 7 days to send in their LOCI.

Re: Columbia 2010
So I FedExed mine and sent a follow up email, but not with an attachment. I never heard anything, so, just to be on the safe side, I'd like to send the LOCI via email. PDF is the way to go?
