I applied RD and am wondering when any of us will start to hear!

Here's to hoping they give me leniency in the LSAT department and good luck to everyone else!

What's your Columbia index #?

.

4.4 with my higher LSAT (4.3 if averaged). I've only been complete since 11/18, but I'm totally psyched to hear soon! Here's hoping.

What is their MO? Snail Mail?

What's your Columbia index #?

4.2

What are other people's?

4.2 here a well, except LSAT heavy instead. I'm very seriously considering ED for the next admissions cycle.

4.3 but I'd gladly trade you .1 for either your NYU acceptance or your PhD Amy.

I think being LSAT heavy would be better for Columbia! I want Columbia for a bunch of reasons, but because it is further north in Manhattan than NYU, making it closer to my SOs work, shortening my commute. Greedy, I know.

I would be ecstatic with either one. Best of luck this cycle. If you make it, hopefully I'll be joining you in a year.

wait - did your SO accept an offer on the East Coast? (Congrats to him, if this is the case) Does that mean no Berkeley for you?

They just sent me a fee waiver though I don't feel like I have a chance in hell. Good luck to you all

I would say if they sent you a fee waiver, that's a pretty good sign...I'm jealous.

Can someone tell me how to calculate my index#?

And did anyone else get a request from Columbia for your Fall 2008 grades? I'm hoping this helps me since I had all A's.

Welll that has to be exciting to be able to start narrowing down your choices and get an idea of where you will be next year (or at least it would be for me, someone who needs to know what's going to happen ten steps before it does!). Obviously the NYC schools are both amazing so congrats!

I've heard on the threads "Columbia 2012) and "Columbia ED deferrals are official in" that they send an e-mail w a PDF attachment which comes before the piece of snail mail.
I'm an ED applicant (I got a fall term grade request and couldn't send them until right before Christmas) and I STILL haven't heard....
Also I mentioned this somewhere else on TLS but a friend who's RD has gotten a grade request. She has a 176 and somewhere in the high 3.6 range for her GPA (meaning I think the grade request is a good sign...)

Get a law school numbers account and choose Columbia as one of the schools you are applying to, and LSN will calculate it for you.

Edit: add me to the waiting pool as well.

Yeah, I think it's there as well. You can also do the math yourself with the info provided by LSAC.

i'm a 4.2 as well. a 4.1 on lsn made the waitlist, so maybe good luck for us?

I'm anxiously awaiting Columbia, I'd love to have all 3 of my [realistic] first choices to choose from.

And because I live a 5 minute walk from the school.

My index with my higher LSAT score is 4.4, but it's 4.3 when they're averaged.

4.3, complete on 11/18 and joining the anxious wait

I'm praying so. I'm a 4.2 as well.

anyone else get the request for fall grades?

I thought the rule was 4.1 = waitlist, 4.2 = 50/50, 4.3+ = in.

Hey, I'm waiting to hear from Columbia too, but I don't know anything about this index number. Can someone explain what it is, what constitutes a good index, and how I can compute my own? Thanks!

4.2

4.4 here. totally prepared for some waitlist riding if necessary, cls is definitely my top choice.

I'm 4.3 with the higher score and crossing my fingers. I'm trying not to get my hopes up as so far I haven't gotten love from Michigan or Berkeley.

Does anyone know if they take the higher LSAT when there is a significant gap? Or do they average?

Thanks!

When I called, they said they take the higher with a 7+ point increase.
