Thank you all! Columbia is one of my top choices so I'm beyond thrilled!

@Maroon, no, I didn't interview. I did write a why Columbia, though. So far I have not interviewed at any of the schools for which I wrote a whyX (but it could also be that my numbers aren't YP status)

Alright!!!! Congrats Tr3! You're racking up some sweet acceptances.

Thank you!!

BTW, I'm probably going to remove the Denver and Colorado columns from the spreadsheet since it seems that I'm the only one who applied to those schools. I thought it would be helpful to future applicants, but if literally no one else has applied, it doesn't seem to be much use and is just taking up space.

The ninjas come out of the woodwork

Edit: Definitely not me, in case that wasn't clear. I'm sure she/he will kill it this cycle though.

Thanks for the support.
I'm just hoping to have half as good a cycle as some of the other people here.

Anyone else want to go the CC (you are awesome, thank you so much for your detailed post about Stanford) route and say why you are set on a particular school or a few schools in particular? Not asking for selfish reasons at all. Oh no, never

It's a win for the URM forum that we finally got this guy posting here.

Agreed. I didn't have the luxury of a helpful pre-law adviser so this was all me & my cousin (6th year associate) trying to form a master plan. I may have gone overboard, but it'll be worth it in the end.
