Well, guess my 25<LSAT<75 and 3.98 weren't enough for a Butler . Can't complain though

I'm surprised I didn't have enough for a Bulter either. 75th LSAT; similar GPA (+-.05 of yours). I wonder why not; can people qualify for Hamiltons/Butlers after being notified of acceptance? Does Columbia negotiate?

I can't find anything to support the idea that they DO give out butlers/hamiltons later (after acceptance) or that they negotiate however, even if the likelihood is low, there's no reason not to try! I definitely plan to try to negotiate later on. it's possible that people receive aid later on, but it's so much later that they stop caring about TLS enough to give us the info

There's also a difference between a named scholarship and just money right? You might be able to negotiate some amount.

From what i understand, it is still certainly possible to receive merit aid if you don't receive one of the named scholarships. They have a separate pool of money for merit based aid just like other schools, and you can negotiate after you receive your aid offer.

Mine was 12:58 so maybe not?

I'd say there is no chance that Columbia doesn't snap up your 180. Good luck!

Any other at/above 75th bros who interviewed a while back still waiting to hear? Both of my numbers twins on lsn got butlers today but I have nothing. Getting worried.

Standing with you above both 75ths and nothing yet, despite interviewing a while back.

The 'Cornell Bloodbath' - hilarious & so accurate.

Above both 75ths and wondering whether they hate my personality enough to ignore my numbers

Edit: I interviewed in one of the first waves

[lawdude31]

I may be naive but is there any chance an ED admit gets scholly?

Sorry, kinda confused - do acceptances come as letters or emails?

Sounds like email but I did also hear people talking about CLS snail mail so I'm confused

They come as emails, but they are a scanned PDF of a physical letter that is also sent via snail mail.
