Columbia C/O 2019 Applicants - 2015 - 2016 Forum

In via e-mail! Complete early Jan, no interview. Very excited

[JusPassItToWill]

Anyone else still waiting for a decision that applied fairly early on? I'm Median GPA, >75th GPA, and survived the Reserve wave. Not sure if most people like me have already received decisions by now.

How early are you talking? I'm mid Nov, no interview, no WL, no nothing

ETA >75 for both

I'm Mid Oct., Interviewed Mid Nov., but with nothing else.

Same situation as you, but no interview

Same, with no interview. It seems like every couple of pages in this thread people like us commiserate

There are dozens of us!!

Interviewed in December (above both 75s), no notification either. my (optimistic) theory is that we are on the border between non-named scholarships and Butlers, or between Butlers and Hamiltons, and the folks at admissions want to see how much money they have left before releasing admits, since they appear to be giving named scholarship notifications with and only with initial acceptances. Thoughts?

Definitely makes sense to me. My scores are likely somewhere around the non-named / Butler region, based on what Ive seen. It's probably my lower GPA that is causing the wait.

Just received admission + Butler! So excited.

Submitted at the end of December, complete early January. K-JD, LSAT > 75, 50 < GPA < 75.

Best of luck to the rest of you.

Congrats!!! This makes me super happy but also really nervous since we are the same applicant except I interviewed in December...

I'd imagine they're just deciding on which named scholarship to send your way!

I'm really excited, since my SO is currently doing her PhD at Columbia. This makes my decision super easy! Hope you all get great news sent your way in the coming days.

Well, congrats to your roommate at least! Assuming I'm interpreting the situation correctly and she's also a Columbia Law applicant who received an acceptance by mail...

Otherwise, if it just happens to be a blue envelope and has no relation to Columbia... that's cool too!

Today is definitely the day for the >75, long time waiters.

Also I have no evidence to support my claim.

Best movie ever and I know that assertion will not cause a debate ITT because it's a fact not an opinion

I mean it's definitely top five. I'd put it up there with Seven Samurai, Lawrence of Arabia, North by Northwest, and 12 Angry Men. Probably in the second or third spot behind North by Northwest and Lawrence of Arabia.

Also, in before someone comes in and starts shouting about Citizen Kane. Citizen Kane is so good that you don't even have to mention it. It's like how LeBron doesn't win the MVP anymore because we got tired of hearing about it.

Well, also cause Steph curry is a baby-faced god amongst mere man-faced mortals.

Well yeah, this year it's because Steph is playing impossible basketball, but looking back at stats LeBron should probably have five or six MVPs by now without voter fatigue.

Yeah he definitely could have taken the one durant won a couple years ago and probably the 2010 d rose one as well. I could definitely see him winning one well into his 30s in like a Kareem Abdul jabbar type deal though. Gotta pad up that g.o.a.t argument it's been getting weaker recently

Hello, just checking, has anyone who was interviewed in the past two weeks heard back?

It's been a week since my interview and was wondering if I should be getting worried. :/

Many (most?) people waited more than a week after the interview. Many got in; many still waiting.

The almighty spreadsheet says that there's an average of 34 days between interview and decision.

If you look at the reported stats almost no one got in within a week (maybe one person?). 10 days seems to be the minimum, and many people seem to take 2-3 weeks. That said, there are plenty of people here with 75th< stats that are still waiting, so two weeks seems to be the normal lower bound, not the average.

That number is probably skewed by ppl who applied early in the season though, since Columbia didn't start releasing decisions until late Jan.

I also think there might be a bit of a wave thing going on (at least that's my speculation). I got an unusually quick turnaround after my interview, but mine was right around the time they were releasing big batches of decisions daily. I wouldn't worry about it just yet.

I can confirm admits are going out today because I was just admitted via email!
