Now if only they would send me an email!
+180000

Do we think this is the only full ride wave? There were like 8 people that got either Hammy or Butler - I can't imagine too many more are offered and its not like everyone that got one is on TLS or updated us immediately

Way more Butlers than Hammys, cant possibly be all of the Butler offers for this wave

What's the difference between the two? Hammy full and Butler half?

I was thinking about this too. According to Columbia's 509 disclosure, they have 27 students on full tuition scholarships and 136 on half tuition ones (though I assume that is for all three classes, so divide the number by three). That said, I'm sure a couple of people who get offered Hamiltons go to Yale or whatever, and a few Butler people go to Harvard, so it's possible there will still be some $$$ left for the rest of us.

This is how I'm rationalizing hearing nothing since the day I applied...

And correct. Hamilton is full and Butler is half.

Accepted with Butler!! No interview. Submitted late Nov. Was really surprised because I thought they'd interview, but am glad I didn't have to.

so ~9 people per class accepted Hammys - I can't imagine that many would say no, so a safe assumption would be 15 offers per year?
We had 5 Hammys on this forum just now, and it is entirely possible that 5 are on TLS and haven't told us about it yet, and 5 are not on TLS and we would never know.
I think there would be more Butlers for sure, but it seems like Hammys may be gone :(

Again this is total speculation based on the 509 reports, but their number of full-tuition grants jumped from 13 on the 2014 form to 27 on the 2015 form, so it's possible they're upping the number of full-rides they offer.

We won't know whether we're getting offers until we do (or don't), so this is pretty pointless speculation. But I would keep hope alive for now at least.

I have pretty low stats for a Hamilton. Maybe they're doing things a little differently this year.
