Columbia c/o 2020 applicants (2016-2017) Forum

Based on my prowling of last year's thread, butler's and Hammy's don't get an email, at least during the beginning waves, and will only find out acceptance AND scholarship in their letter via snail mail. So those of you who had great numbers and haven't heard yet, that might actually be a good sign! Makes my acceptance a little bittersweet, but then again as far as I can tell NO ONE has received a butler/hammy with numbers as low as mine (not saying my #s are terrible, just not scholly material of that level at CLS). Hoping I can crush the Feb LSAT though and convince them to reconsider

Definitely eases my worries a bit, thanks for that!

So THAT's why. I'm getting a Butler! Haha, silly me.

How're we feeling about the odds of a wave coming today or tomorrow?

Does anyone know if we need to submit the CSS Profile, FAFSA etc. at this time (before an admissions decision is made), or just by the deadline?

I did everything in spite of my less than 5% chance of getting in because I'm a type-A control freak with the anxiety of Mackenzie Phillips at a family reunion.

So historically, people who got accepted in the first wave didnt get offered butlers/hammys later?

Not that I could tell, but I also didn't spend long enough reading through the ENTIRE thread to find out. I might go back and look today though I'm trying to convince myself that all hope isn't lost yet! Because some people who are offered b/h inevitably won't accept them (and go to HYS for instance), so there's gotta be SOME wiggle room. Right?!

I just lurked LSN and no one with the named schols got in during the first wave of acceptances. They mostly got in during the following week. But who knows. caveat caveat

Congrats to everyone who got in! This is an AMAZING school in a great area.

Safe to assume the wave is over? I went complete 11/30 and didn't get anything. Currently crying. Probably fucked up the interview. Anxiety is so real

I went complete 10/11 with numbers at least at both medians and thought my interview went well so if you are crying I should definitely be crying

My numbers are at/above both 75th with a good interview, nothing here either :'(

Maybe they are weighing on how much money to give you guys. Be patient.

Oh sorry, to be clear, not actually crying. That was definitely a poor attempt at an exaggeration/joke. More along the lines of I feel like my soul is dying on the inside because no JS1 today and no Columbia acceptance.

I doubt I have the numbers for money at Columbia.

Same here! So hard to see everyone get JS1s and Columbia acceptances, and nothing here yet :/

I wasn't joking or whatever. .. LSAT-175, why not butler?

My GPA is not amazing. I figured Butlers were for the people above both medians.

for the awesome data miners yesterday, do decisions always go out late at night like they did yesterday?

Nope! Last year was a wide spread of times -- many of which began at 1pm
