I am an EDer who has not received any sort of decision. However, I am a long shot and i expect it to be a 'Hold' at best. Hope this helps.

Wow! ED admits must be having a ball - imagine taking it easy during the holidays. Sounds pretty neat. Congrats to those who got in :)


I have an October 2014 score but only submitted my application on December 15th (ET). It has been close to a week and I still haven't received even the preliminary "application received" email, even though most other schools I applied to on that day have acknowledged my application's existence. Should I be worried?

I applied on the 10th and also haven't heard... I think they're just slower at processing/acknowledging than some other places, plus now they may be closing up for the holidays

Same. I believe there's a note on the status checker page saying it can take up to two weeks to be active. Presumably that's linked to the initial acknowledgement email?

I applied the 15th as well and haven't heard a peep haha. It was starting to make me nervous.

Edit: went complete today! Didn't get an email, but it's on the status check now! Only a week, but still felt like forever haha.

Not that being on the same boat with so many people proves anything but it certainly does give me some peace of mind... :) thanks everyone. Let's hope we at least receive acknowledgement from them before Christmas.

Just got the email as well and am being held for review again later in the admissions cycle. Not great, but not terrible.

Ah well- gotta keep on fighting the good fight.

I get to wait until April as well. Was anyone straight up waitlisted or rejected? Or is this what Columbia does to all ED candidates that don't make the cut?

Hey, long time lurker, got put on hold until April as well. Does anyone have any idea where to find numbers on the outcomes in April? Unsure whether to accept another offer, or actually hold off until April. They've already ruined my Christmas, so my birthday is April 16th... don't want them to ruin that too!! Haha

lawschoolnumbers.com? That might be helpful... Or the spreadsheet from Columbia C/O 2017?.. Or just the Columbia C/O 2017 thread in general?

Can you clarify? Do you mean they asked for an updated transcript (i.e. are you still in undergrad and they want fall semester grades?

That's interesting. I'd read mixed reviews on here as to whether or not they ever requested it, with most posts indicating that usually schools never actually made you update from the ones listed when the application was submitted... Good to know.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
