the admissions email address is the only address we have for them, right? If we were to send an email asking a question or something? <admissions@law.columbia.edu> ??

I don't think you can make this shit up... but think what you want(I could care less). Was only trying to shed some light from what they told me.

No worries! I literally would not make that up, haha. I'm so mad. The guy seemed clueless. He put me on hold at first, and told me there was a decision rendered. Then calls me back minutes later and is like sorry I misspoke and said I could send a letter if I want asking for expedited review. I don't think that's the best idea though, I don't want to rush them lol

I feel like toothbrush is the perfect candidate to ask for expedited review

I sent an e-mail last Friday directly asking for an expedited review. That's what the woman on the phone told me to do if I had upcoming deadlines.
