Is this Columbia's term for waitlist? Can't remember from last cycle.
Nope. Reserve = waitlist, held = keeping your application open but to one side whilst they review others, to later come back to yours

o columbia, pls relieve me of this loathsome existence. too long have i white-knuckled thru waves of rejects, reserves, and holds, only for a lonely fly to spin out from my empty e-mail inbox. with courage, now, i welcome your kind knife or happy dagger. let me suffer your slings and arrows; give me a fardel to bear!

there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of on top-law-schools.com: i know, because now we tread in a truly undiscovered land -- a mid march void of answer! -- alone with everlasting dread.

Have any of those that have been held or put on reserve apply early? I'm still indecisive about following up with admissions.

Checked earlier today and was definitely still only "complete," but just got admit email.

did anyone else just skip right over the "under review" stage?

Didn't have one. Anyone know roughly how often they admit without interviewing? Does it have any positive correlation with scholarship monies (plz god)?

Congrats to you! If no interview, when did you go complete, if you don't mind sharing?

Congrats sir/madam! I believe they admit pretty often without interviewing. As for your second question, I'm not sure, but I do know that if you had gotten a Butler (half ride) or Hamilton (full ride) it would have been in your admit email. 95% sure on that.

Named scholarships seem to require an interview. You can get big money without one, but you won't get a full ride.

^that's actually inaccurate. It seems crazy, but there have been multiple reports this cycle of people receiving both Butlers and Hamiltons without ever receiving an interview invite.

Check pages 43-45 of this thread for confirmation.

Yep Ender's completely correct on this.

I was one of those people who rec'd a Butler with no interview. And no email, cuz Columbia wanted to make me nauseous for an extra 6 days. I'm not bitter or anything....

That's surprising. Honestly I haven't been following the Columbia thread very closely, so I was just going off of my general LS application knowledge.

Who is strong enough to get a Hamilton without even interviewing? A 4.0/180 astronaut?

+180. Only if he's a Fulbright and an olympian.
