+1 No offense to JoeSchmoe or Shane, but Vertex is officially my favorite poster in this thread. He/she has been incredibly light-hearted and encouraging as an admit to a school we would easily drop a quarter million to go to (addressing the ED crowd), as opposed to a certain Georgetown 0L troll who has been terrorizing unrelated threads.vertex wrote:Here's why you shouldn't worry: I found out I was admitted in the second "wave," but the date on my acceptance letter was November 30, which was the first wave.

letter dated november 30th. didn't even notice it ha. apparently i've been in for over a week. wish i could have saved a week of worrying and gone straight to relaxation. i have such middle range numbers. you'd think it would have taken them longer to decide. got in on softs?

Re: Columbia 2011!
Thanks! So it seems Vertex was right. There has only been one round of acceptances (based on 3 admits). Of course that's very limited info, but it still makes me feel betterrb23 wrote:letter dated november 30th. didn't even notice it ha. apparently i've been in for over a week. wish i could have saved a week of worrying and gone straight to relaxation. i have such middle range numbers. you'd think it would have taken them longer to decide. got in on softs?

You aren't living up to your username, don't give up hope yet! The most common time to hear a decision seems to be 4-430PM. I usually give up hope on a day around 5PM.hoping wrote:still nothing?i guess tomorrow? thoughts?

Any predictions on when the first batch of snail mail will hit mailboxes? Have the people who heard back in PDF form also received a letter?

Here's the old thread if you're feeling brave-- http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 20&t=48833. If sure through that thread you could find out when snail mail decisions got out to people.bryannance wrote:Did last year's applicants document that timeline at all--email-to-mailbox response time?JoeShmoe11 wrote:Haven't heard of a single person receiving a snail mail response.bryannance wrote:Any predictions on when the first batch of snail mail will hit mailboxes?

EDIT: Let me know if you do find out when they were received!
