1-5: No Decision
6-10: No Decision

15-20: Decision
21-26: Decision

1-7: No Decision

Better?

[Kimikho]

I'm very close to the beginning of the alphabet and haven't heard anything yet, but I also live way down south, so distance could be a factor (at least I really hope so )

this.

So if you and I don't get a letter soon, then either they aren't doing this or it takes a lot more time than I thought to get mail to where we live. I don't think it discounts it, though.

You're forcing me to count? I thought I was going to law school, not "count...ing...school".

Haha this is only because I didn't want to count every letter to convert it. Although I'm sure there's a chart somewhere that'll do that.

Is there any evidence they're doing it alphabetically, or is this just for lols?

[pitter23]

Also nothing with a very alphabetically-challenged last name in the PA area.

+1 in New England

maybe this "polar vortex" I've heard so much about is slowing things down?

[Kimikho]

that depends on your meaning of "evidence"

[lawschool22]

Lolz of course. Although we may get some non-scientific and self-selected evidence if we do this poll

[whippersnappery]

+1 in New England

+1 and beginning of alphabet.

[Theopliske8711]

Instincts of those of us in the latter end of the alphabet, developed from continual discrimination suffered over our lives.

[The-Specs]

I wouldn't be surprised. I have been discriminated for the first letter of my last name all my life. Always towards the end of the line in school, etc.

I second this woeful discrimination. Last five letters here and still nothing (SoCal).

Paging Wowhio.

With a healthy does of wishful thinking, groupthink, and confirmation bias thrown in.

ETA: forgot my oxford comma

[Kimikho]

It was a quiet, peaceful morning.

Then, everything changed when Theopliske8711 attacked.

also, I just realized I think I have the rest of that entirely memorized. Paging BarrelofMonkeys

[selden]

I'm a Canadian whose last name is in the last 1/3 of the alphabet, and got accepted via email earlier this week.

[NYU_Ugrad_Paralegal]

I'm a Canadian whose last name is in the lastv1/3 of the alphabet, and got accepted via email earlier this week.

...perhaps they do internationals differently...? oH GOD ITS ALL FALLING APART

Well the theory had a nice run. Good work everybody.

I still want the poll

[applelover]

I had my interview this morning, and would be willing to share my experience through a PM. There's really nothing to worry about though, it was a very pleasant conversation and it made me even more excited about Columbia than before!

The interviewer was probably the best I've had this cycle.

Thinking about posting stuff like that always makes me waffle on the value of better information versus potentially ruining some awesome TLS detective work

But it is possible internationals are done differently.

Good luck! Hope to hear from you soon.

BTW scoobers on an unrelated note I thought your avatar was Michael Cera until I looked at it more closely just now

[JWP1022]

Embrace chaos, everyone.

Figures a northern neighbor had to ruin our delusion!
