Columbia Applicants Waiting Thread Forum

[huckabees]

What is going on with EDers?

Have most ED people heard back yet? It's two weeks past December and nothing has changed on LSN.

I wonder if they are getting flooded with apps this cycle.

[whyamidoingthis]

Anyone have a clue as to when Columbia's ASW is?

I think it's sometime in March or April, but they don't send the EDers our info until February at the earliest....I wish we knew, I have to book a flight from the west coast

ED here, just got accepted TODAY.

CONGRATS! That's great, I know you've been waiting!!!

Regular decisions will come week after next based on previous cycles, right?

that's what it's lookin like...

[uclabruins]

I am feeling false hope most likely, because I got accepted to UPenn with a 43% chance....as hourumd puts me at 37% change at CLS. Not too much less! Here's to false hope!

+1, hourumd puts me at 39%... here's to hoping!

LSN shows RD acceptances starting around 1/23-1/24. So they should come next week, not week after next.

[huckabees]

I really really hope they are at least going to be in January. Don't think I can survive the wait much longer than that.

I know, I'm dying here.

This wait can be equated to this scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f92wbyLptR0

only replace "Ron Burgundy" with "CLS".

haha we'll see how it goes.

[gannak]

amy you are so going to get in!

My Columbia status checker says "pending completion." How long it generally take you all to go complete?

it was 6 days for me (from the day I sent the app)

My hope is next Friday 1/23 or Monday 1/26 after next (I think that, judging from last cycles, letters did not come out on 23rd only when 23rd fell on a weekend).

I suppose I should join this thread.

3.30/171. Its the best school that gave me a fee waiver and I want a $12 rejection letter from an impressive law school for posterity's sake. Keep me humble/motivated.

[Sobriquet]

I second gannak in saying that Amy, you will surely get in (however late it may be).

Also, to the previous posts regarding cost of living, I am considering living in the UES and commuting the NYU...it's not too expensive there and apparently if you live near any of the ABCDEFV, you can do door-to-door in 20 mins (haha, thanks to the wonderful advice from the "NYU Students: Where do you live?" thread). I'm sure if you hate the area around Columbia, you can find a similar commute from a different area. Basically, this location/cost thing should not factor into your ultimate decision if it's between these 2 schools.

[littleboyblue]

Thanks, Sobriquet, very kind.

As for the location thing, I feel like it still makes a difference for me, as we would probably live roughly in the same place regardless of whether I go to NYU or Columbia. I am planning to test out these train routes when I go to NY in March. Maybe it doesn't make as much difference as I anticipate....and maybe I'll know something from CLS by then.

Here's to hearing next week!!

not sure what you mean by trains - are you planning on living outside of nyc in a suburb? if so - if you plan on living in westchester you'll have to get off at 125th and then get crosstown to columbia. its kind of annoying but doable.

[legends159]

I think she meant subways

[jeeves0923]

Checking in... Numbers twin with Amy, but I don't have a PhD... only a lowly Master's in Math, applying to a JD/PhD program... here's to hoping that one helps the other

[drew]

lol, I guess I am technically deserving of being in this thread...

[yagrish]

3-day weekend. I hope adcomms will come back well-rested, ready to mail out decisions.

[huckabees]

Anyone hear today?

[jeeves0923]

nothing on LSN...

[markymark2]

Does anyone know the date by which you are guaranteed a decision? I'd also like to know for NYU. Thanks.
