Anyone besides me hating their west coast addresses right now? I'm looking at a long week of running to the mailbox.

And congrats everyone with good news!

I'd wait until Thursday or so if I were you.

Hey everyone, I know it is 4am, but any acceptances in the last couple of hours?

All RD acceptances go by mail, so everyone who was going to find out today found out a long time ago.

That's a bit of an assumption. It's entirely possible that someone was not home all day, and only just in the past few hours got home and checked their mail.

Sunday, since mail doesn't come today, you are dead to me. But, I will cheer for the Jets in honor of Columbia.

Fuck that.

Fuck that.

Congrats everyone! I'm in New England so now I'll be watching my mail with increased obsessiveness...I really want CLS to come through for me.

hamilton?

Haha...I really just meant acceptance. Getting some money from CLS would be great but I have personal factors that make NYC schools very attractive.

EDIT: Also, go Jets!!

it's strange that no one's reporting scholarship $ so far... (I'm assuming npanola is flame)

Haha, I like both teams really. Just rooting for a good game and maybe a little edge for the Jets.

Jets fucked up my bracket the past two weeks. F 'em.

I also have some personal reasons that make an nyc school a very good choice, but I didn't get a scholarship offer w my acceptance.

Not all merit scholly money has gone out, right? I thought it was just hamiltons/butlers

Yes. Only Hamiltons and Butlers go out with acceptances. Everything else wil be awarded in March, IIRC.

[of Benito Cereno]

are these later awards merit awards or need aid. I see on lsn last year a number of 175+/3.6- people with 75k or 50k and wondering if these are butlers, merit awards given later, negotiated merit, or financial aid.

Yeah I wish you could tell on lsn what was merit and what was financial aid...anyone know for sure about whether columbia gives other smaller merit scholarships?

[babaghanouj]

Last year's Columbia c/o 2012 thread made it pretty clear that they take merit considerations into account when awarding need-based aid. I remember thinking it was pretty suspicious that a good deal of people with higher lsats and not much need ended up with decent need-based aid packages.

[jitsrenzo]

In.

yea but I imagine that one would at least need to be in a position of financial need right? is that to say that merit enters into it but its still awards given to people without savings and parents making 100k+.

[CardinalRules]

How many Hamiltons do they generally hand out?

superserial is a CLS 1L and she applied RD with 175 3.6. She didn't get any merit aid but definitely got some generous need-based aid that she felt was more LSAT based.

yeah... I don't qualify for need-based aid, but I was still given 40K of "need-based aid" .

You mean definitely don't qualify as in your parents could pay fully w/out it stretching them thin?

Did you fill out the fin aid form?

I had to fill out the financial aid form in order to apply for grants.

my parents probably couldn't fully pay... but I don't think I qualify for need-based aid... that's what other schools where I applied for need-based aid told me, at least.
