Columbia c/o 2017 Applicants (2013-2014 cycle) Forum

[HarvardHopeful]

I was going to slip out of work for a longer "lunch break" to check my mailbox, but my boss had other plans

hahaha i feel for you. I had all LSAC mail sent to my mom's address and I think she is about 1 phone call away from changing her phone number.

[flippacious]

I'm now imagining the packet containing $150,000 in cash.

Literally LOLing. With a note: "Spend wisely..."

Slightly related, I had a dream the other night that I got a Ruby from Chicago. It came as a check in the mail for $160,000, but Chicago had misprinted it and given me $1,600,000. Instead of being excited, dream-me was hit with overwhelming panic and anxiety about it.

...in other news, no mail from CLS in PA today

[SplitMyPants]

To the person that got admitted in Ohio, Congratulations!! What date was your letter dated?

January 24

Congrats!!!!!!!



Just waiting on someone in the deep south to post now.

edit spelling

This southern snow is just messing everything up for us. One inch shuts the whole state down.

No mail from Columbia in IN today, though an OH reported. Any consensus yet on whether these are just acceptances? Or can I expect to receive a small envelope with a polite letter tomorrow?

[lawschool22]

I almost forgot. For all of you lucky folks who have been accepted recently, don't forget to update the spreadsheet!

On that note, does Columbia send WL/Dings via mail as well?

[Humbert Humbert]

I wish columbia would tell us if the butler/hamilton candidates are the ones being interviewed. I don't think they would say that the interviewees were "randomly selected" though if this were the case. So i'm fingers crossed that scholarships are coming and eventually someone will report one today/tomorrow .

Can someone clarify: were these invites to be interviewed for the scholarships, or actual scholarship offers, in the past? Thx.

actual scholarships included in the initial acceptance letter in the past

Even for non-Butler/Hamilton level $?

This would definitely be a case where TCR is "take the money and run."

[illyria]

Does the acceptance letter come in a small envelope? Or is it a packet?

Hahaha that thought crossed my mind as well....
"Oh, was I gone for over an hour? My, I don't know how that happened.."

[waferthinmint]

Sounds like it's been a big baby-blue envelope, but with not a lot of other materials inside beside the acceptance letter. So, could fit inside a mailbox depending on your mailbox situation, I'm guessing.

Another midwesterner...

I need to get to my mailbox ASAP

[Kimikho]

I can't be the only applicant from out here.

[Nonconsecutive]

So very much this. My worst fear beyond not having the letter is that it will have been mashed into my beta mailbox.

[almondjoy]

So has no one with a random interview request been accepted then? How long does everyone think the decisions for these people will be delayed?

[HarvardHopeful]

any one from Massachusetts get a letter yet? I've got about another hour to wait before someone can check my mail for me.

Nope...just for those two named schollies. Should have clarified, but that was all that wtrc was asking about

[ftbchamp231]

Twice today I have gotten a notice from the mailroom about a package.... and twice today I have ran through the biting cold of the polar vortex only to have the man behind the counter give me a textbook for a class I dropped.

[kenwash]

Jan 15 complete date is likely NOT in this first wave, correct? This is what I get for waiting for a fee waiver that never happened.
