Admitted ED on Dec 5th
Yay! Columbia Law Class of 2015!!!

Congrats! Mine came in yesterday as well. I went ahead and started a Facebook group if you'd like to join it! Columbia Law School - Class of 2015

Nice to see this thread open! Even nicer to be able to post in it! I was also in ED 12/5

I will be seeing you guys there in ~9 months - can't wait to get up to NY!

edit: Also in ED 12/5

Yay! Admitter 12/5 as well. So now do we just...wait? Are we going to get anything in snail mail? (I still feel like it's not going to be 100% real until I get something in the mail!).

Hi everyone!

I didn't find this thread till now, so I am a little late but it's great to see the other ED admits!
I was also accepted on Dec. 5! (I checked the email at the airport, so it was even more exciting haha)
Columbia has always been my top choice, so I am THRILLED to be a part of it next year!
I hope everyone enjoys wonderful and relaxing holidays!

Checking in, admitted morning of Dec. 24, great Christmas present.

Hey guys,

I have a quick question.
Have you guys received the VCE in the mail yet?
I initially thought they were supposed to come at the end of Jan or early Feb,
but now I am not quite so sure and it's worrying me a bit lol

Nope, haven't gotten it yet

Any word on when ASW is?

I believe the first one is Feb.29-March 1, and the second one is March 28-29!

how do you know? the vce didnt get sent yet.

Confirmed in VCE! (And bumping for the new batch)

I found out through checking out the events calendar on the CLS website about a week ago lol
But I guess addy11 confirmed it for us!
My VCE still hasn't gotten here and I am getting so anxious!

BUMP

I am still shocked I got into Columbia. My numbers are a bit subpar for Columbia but not too far off. No scholly and with the cost of living in NYC.... Eek.

I think wed-thurs are horrible dates for an ASW. I have to work and I assume a lot of people have jobs or school during the week. I'm going to do my best to make it work because come on this is a huge life decision but this is very difficult or me. It ruins my Friday unless I can find a super late flight on Friday.

I am such a whiner, this is Columbia!

What is VCE? Is it the massive packages I've been getting in the mail? Does anyone know how many they are planning to send?

VCE = Vomit colored envelope. Looks like: http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5291/538 ... 9b36f6.jpg
It's Columbia's acceptance letter. (Though not everyone who gets accepted gets one, I got an email because I'm currently overseas.)

They will send out as many VCE's as acceptances.

This forum is kinda dead. I have some questions about ASW. What airport should I fly into and is anyone staying with a current student?

Uh... whichever is cheapest? Transportation options from JFK, LGA, and EWR aren't that different.

The Admitted Student's Website has a list of people who are willing to house students (I believe).

Why is this forum so dead? Anyone going to ASW next week? Is there another forum admits have been talking in?

I think it's because a lot of people are still undecided. Columbia hasn't given out non-named scholarship info yet. This forum is generally for people who have already committed to a school. I still haven't decided yet, but at the moment I'm leaning towards NYU because of their financial aid offer.

Agreed. Hopefully CLS scholly info will come out within the next 3 weeks or so, as they did say late March/early April. Last year, I think it was April 4th.

I haven't committed either, comparing with Penn. I just don't want to annoy people in the "still waiting" forum with questions. Still waiting for scholly info too. I'm going to both preview days, I'm leaning Penn for personal reasons.
