Columbia 2011! Forum

[jd2014!]

Okkkk! So I just got off the phone asking about "grade updates." The woman I spoke with said decisions will start coming out "February until the end of April." This wasn't very specific and I'm not sure if that means they are running behind this year or if she just figured saying February would be easier than saying end of January?

I don't wanna wait till Februaryyyyyy- so I'm gonna go on pretending this is the week!!

Whaaatttttttt?

BOOOH!

(But thanks for calling!)

iirc, the official line was February last year as well. thanks for trying!!!

Edit: It would probably be a good idea for someone else to call toooooo- maybe with our conversations combined we could get a full picture

You are awesome.

BUT WTF.

[Confused7]

NOOOOOOOoooOOooooooooo...I will not stand for this!! They're probably just giving a conservative estimate.

[QuailMan]

From this thread, I assume that decisions will come:

Probably today.....Probably this month....Problably next month....Probably this year

[starrydreamz3]

Do we have any Columbia undergrads in this thread who can do some reconaissance?

From last year's thread:

Hey everyone, do we know when decisions will start coming out?

They said soon as in early February

However, if history repeats itself, people will receive acceptances via snail mail starting this weekend.

Seeing as they were in the same position last year, there is still hope for this weekend!

They're probably just being conservative in case the mail takes a long time.

[r6_philly]

So we know nothing more than yesterday correct?

haha

But yeah, they are probs just saying February like last year. I still think they come earlier

[sgtgrumbles]

Well, at least now I know I don't have to bother checking this thread again until February. Carry on with the "TODAY IS THE DAY!! I FEEL IT@!!!!" posts.

[Tinkerz Belle]

February?! Ouch.

Starting to feel like applying earlier in the season might not have been the best move for my sanity. The waiting anxiety is far worse than any other anxiety I've felt in connection with this whole crazy process

I like this interpretation of this whole mess. Definitely.

They're probably just being conservative in case the mail takes a long time.

I'm hoping this is why! They probably don't want to deal with anything like the hilarious shit-storm NYU got when they put "decision mailed" on like, the 3rd and letters didn't get there for a week.

KEEP THE HOPE ALIVE.

^ lmao i had almost forgotten how nerve-wracking that was. my finals just didn't stand a chance...calling my parents 3x/day to ask if they had seen anything purple in the mail and stalking TLS to see if anyone else recieved their purple envelope yet was a muchhh better use of my time.

[LinzerTorte]

I like how in response to being told that decisions are coming out in February, everyone here is like, "Nope! This week is the week! It happened this way last year! Hang on to your hats!"

Don't get me wrong, that is why I love it here!

[rundoxierun]

hmm.. Columbia didnt request my report w/ my new grades from LSAC. Im assuming they are close to getting decisions locked in so Im kind of sad my new grades probably wont be considered.

My heart dropped when I read this. I hope all your predictions about conservative guessing are right. My friends are so tired of me going insane over law school decisions.

Dear Columbia,

There's no need for a fancy letter. A Post-it note that says "Dear law_monkey, We want you!" would work just as well.

Thanks!

when did LSAC process it? For me- it took LSAC a day to generate the report, then took Columbia another day to request it, so they still might get a chance to see your gpa increase!

This.

haha. too many good candidates is making their decisions harder...

[NikaneOkie]

Can I email an update to Columbia?

[WestOfTheRest]

Do they not get the updates until they request the update? Columbia hasn't requested my updated grades and HLS hasnt requested my updated transcript or my extra LOR.

Weird, my new grades/LOR just got to LSAC two days ago, but they're both already at Columbia/Harvard (ie. shown on the status checker).

HLS states they have my LOR, but how do you know whether hls and columbia got your updated transcripts?

[chasgoose]

Well if it makes you feel any better, my application only went complete today. So I won't even get to hear anything whether by late Jan or early Feb.

[of Benito Cereno]

just so you know. if you get into cls and matriculate you'll NEVER get your 1L fall grades. ever.... sigh
