IN! Got the email at 5:44. At/a little above both 75ths. Complete 10/7, interview 11/30. No $$ info on the letter, just website info etc. The dean did leave a nice handwritten note saying "we're excited to help you learn more about our offerings..."

Wonder if money is still possible? incredibly nice just to be in though

I went to an information session at Columbia last week and the Director of Admissions encouraged us to send them and said I could just send a pdf of the official transcript. I did so and then got an email saying they "also require your institution to send a hard copy of the transcript directly to our office." This would be a bit of a hassle for me and my status checker still shows my application as complete. Do you think not having the hard copy will hold up a decision?
Did you do a study abroad program from outside of your UG institution?
Physically yes, temporally no. I did it the second semester of my junior year, it was run through another US university, and the courses are credited on my UG transcript but the grades aren't listed.

I applied late October, interviewed mid December, and was admitted today. 25 > LSAT > 50, GPA > 75th (non-URM).

Also, I missed my first scheduled interview because I fucked up the time zone, and had to reschedule for the following week. Totally thought that was the death of my app.

Seems like they're sticking to their usual schedule (based on the fact that last year's first admit was the 19th). This is a reach for me so I'm not surprised I haven't heard anything yet, but it's good to see all these acceptances!
