Hello guys! What is the difference between hold and reserve? I still don't understand

held is they are still considering your app but won't make a decision until the deadline they told you. Reserve is waitlist - they will evaluate everyone later in like May thru the summer if there are spots available

did you just get held?

Hello guys! What is the difference between hold and reserve? I still don't understand

There are three decisions that can be made on an application: Accept, Reject, Reserve.

Hold means they have not made any of these decisions on the application, but will eventually make a decision on this at some point.

"Unlike applicants who are “wait-listed” at some law schools, candidates placed on reserve at Columbia are at no point ranked ordinally. Rather, each application on reserve is reviewed again in its entirety by the Admissions Committee on a periodic basis during the summer months, as openings in the entering class materialize. Upon each review, some candidates will be offered or denied admission, while others will be asked if they wish to remain in consideration for any future openings in the class later in the summer."

Called admissions - they told me that March 1st is only for those already admitted. Later admits will have rolling deadlines dependent upon acceptance. Do not fret, pretty people. We gon be alrite.

Thank you!

Everyone who got accepted today had the same GPA as me and a below median lSAT- hope they aren't done making decisions for these people yet

Just noticed that in my online apps where it asks for Dates you have taken LSAT, i forgot to list one LSAT for which I cancelled the score. somehow it didn't occur to me when doing apps.

is this a serious issue? do i contact the school about this?

I think you're fine. I only listed the LSAT that was my highest, but had taken it both before and after and not done as well. I'm pretty sure they have access to all your scores via LSAC anyway -- pretty sure your score report contains all scores available. I wouldn't contact them to tell them "oh, by the way, I wanted to update you about a nonexistent score from months/years ago." They'll probably just think "Why are you telling us this?"

I interviewed in December and am still waiting for my decision. I kinda try to not visit TLS since two weeks ago

I applied January 30, and my application still has not gone complete. I have a feeling it will soon go straight to ding, instead

Did anyone get in last year who was deferred to regular decision from ED?

[shao]

Interviewed in January, and have not heard back...

Is it ok if I send a LOCI, or maybe a Why Columbia?

Talked to Dean Iwerebon at ASW today. She told me point blank that if you don't get merit aid when you get admitted, you're not getting any.

In other words, I'm not going to CLS.

Crap. So the grants are completely need based?
Anyway you have better choices.

I assume so.

Is there a Facebook group for admits?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I remember reading on past years' threads that Columbia ostensibly only offers the Hamilton and Butler as "merit aid," but when you look at who later gets non-named "need-based" aid, stats seem to be a factor.

I don't think it's a significant issue -- it will most likely be listed in the report. I did the same and I still got in.

Do those online apps even have the option to enter cancelled scores though? I thought you had to select a score for each test date (unless it was in the future).
