Columbia Applicants Waiting Thread

[KingJames]

Does anyone know if it the package/letter comes to your "permanent address" or your "current address"?

[mallard]

My current.

Just checked the estimated cost for 1 yr at CLS as estimated by CLS:

$68,000



Don't think I can afford to go...

For some reason, I had it in my head that it would be more around $50,000.

Loans, my friend. Beautiful, wonderful loans.

Luckily you'll probably be able to net $20K+ each summer.

It's looking more and more like I'll be part of the CLS class of 2012! Any other admits visiting on Monday, February 16 (for one of their two special Monday visitation sessions, mentioned in the first mailing)?

That's true, but then we would need to be corporate mongers in order to earn that.

For those who are not doing public interest and also not doing BigLaw, that is a ton of tuition.

At least you have the Butler in your back pocket (congrats again)

Does anyone know whether Columbia ever gives need-based grants?

Do only a tiny percentage of people get it?

Thanks!

In with the 1/22 batch. Just got home to check the mail. Central PA.

They do have need-based grants, but, in order to qualify for them, both you AND your parents have to report income (read the section about eligibility - I got the impression that they will only give grants to people from low-income families, regardless of whether the family helps them financially or not)

anyone today?

[Lem37]

anyone today?

...I'm pretty sure that, for most people, the mail doesn't come for at least another hour.

Good luck everyone!

My mail usually comes around 2. However, I'm teaching today until 4, so fingers crossed and hopefully I'll have good news later in the afternoon.

yeah i have to say, i'm a little surprised i havn't gotten anything since i'm in nyc. thought my numbers were pretty strong for columbia but maybe i'm just not getting in..

Didn't you get a TS1? I'm sure your CLS acceptance is coming - maybe your mail carrier is just a jerk.

[Pumpkin]

yeah but i was a borderline ts1 and finally got it after waiting a few months. but thanks, hopefully you are right!!

[KingJames]

Starting to worry as well. I got a fall grades request and I'm a 4.5 index, but still haven't heard.

[elliej]

are you all getting envelopes or binders? i don't know if i should be expecting an email (if it's too big for my college mailbox) or if i should just check my box.

Large envelope.

[huckabees]

It's a an envelope (not that thick) and should fit if squished in a mailbox.

Mine was all ripped up when I received it.

People who are in the US aren't getting emails, just snail mail.

[SleekFire]

Anything yet today?

[waitingforanswers]

Got the mail today. Nothing.

[sophie316]

Nothing in my mail(according to my friend I am having check the post while I am away), although I assume I would have heard by email

[huckabees]

I'm surprised you haven't been accepted to CLS or NYU yet.

Did you turn in your application fairly late?

You have amazing stats and CLS loves ivy undergrads.

[jpaul09]

Just got the package in the mail. Western Pennsylvania, so I think there are plenty of more in this batch coming in the mail.

Good luck to everyone!
