I wonder if that's what that one later ED acceptance that we see on LSN from last year was about...deneuve39 wrote:They said that I should send my grades in a personal letter "as soon as possible" so they could still consider me for early decision. My finals end Dec 18th so I should be able to send them a letter December 20th or so. (I have to have a transcript sent too, but I think they understand that that might take til early January...)
Any thoughts?
Note that he says "so they can still consider me for early decision." Even if he has been deferred to January, as long as the school is still considering him under an early decision contract, he's bound to go. The only reason why deferrals release you from the ED contract is because they TELL you you've been thrown back in with the regular applicant pool.deneuve39 wrote:They said that I should send my grades in a personal letter "as soon as possible" so they could still consider me for early decision.

I wouldn't give up hope until about Friday honestly, it looks like from LSN a whole bunch of EDers got let in around the 11th. However, just for my own sake, I'm not getting my hopes too up-- but I'll bet there's a 50/50 shot a few people get in at the end of the week. It's just my guess tho.m_baum wrote:Reading this forum, it's hard to tell if I should actually give up hope yet, or if all of us are too anxious to post anything rational.
Can anyone be the voice of reason? Is it ridiculous to expect that there are more acceptances on the way?
As a splitter (3.9 at Northwestern and Carnegie Mellon, 169 LSAT) I have no idea how to feel. Help?
I'm all sad and weepy about Columbia so I won't make yet another comment about that, but I agree with PeanutButtah that 3.9/169 are great numbers! You're going to get some really good acceptances with or without CLS.PeanutButtah wrote:I wouldn't give up hope until about Friday honestly, it looks like from LSN a whole bunch of EDers got let in around the 11th.

And you're not exactly a splitter, both your numbers are great! I'm sure if CLS doesn't happen, you'll get into a few other amazing schools no problem.

With a 3.9/17x (or even high 160s) I wouldn't give up hope either. Great GPA!thistimereborn wrote:For those of you who have applied ED to Columbia (as I did), is NYU your next highest choice?
If so, do you think those of us who don't make it into Columbia stand a good chance of getting into NYU? This is, of course, assuming that we're talking about people who have numbers around or slightly below Columbia's median.
My main concern with NYU is that they will average my two scores, which brings me out of the low 170s and into the high 160s.
Apparently with a 3.9 GPA and a 168, though, there's an above 50% chance of being admitted, according to LSN.
So maybe even if we don't get into Columbia, we won't have to give up our New York dreams. Thoughts?
P.S. I'm not giving up hope yet for Columbia!
I've used it once, and I assumed that the term referred to someone whose GPA and LSAT place them at fairly disparate percentiles for school profiles. Then again, I haven't seen this term too many times, so I might have misread its contextual meaning.mightyaphrodite wrote:m_baum wrote:Reading this forum, it's hard to tell if I should actually give up hope yet, or if all of us are too anxious to post anything rational.

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
NYU is definitely my next choice, but I can't speak to our chances there (similar numbers).thistimereborn wrote:For those of you who have applied ED to Columbia (as I did), is NYU your next highest choice?
