Columbia Reserve C/O 2017 - Updated with Poll Forum

[Dr.Zer0]

Columbia starts classes in about a month. I can't believe they actually pull ppl off the WL this late in the cycle.

When I called a few weeks ago they said that last year they accepted students up
Until orientation.

I just can't believe literally zero people have been pulled off the WL at such a late point.

Has this actually been confirmed, or are you just basing that off TLS and LSN? Only a fraction of applicants use these websites, and a smaller fraction of those actually bother to update with good news.

Someone a couple pages back said they called and was informed the class was still full and they didn't expect to make any acceptances until mid to late July

This was confirmed as of a few weeks ago. When I called admissions, they said their class was currently full and they did not expect to pull from reserve until mid- to late-July.

Also - very unlikely that Columbia has admitted someone off of reserve and neither TLS nor LSN has captured anything. That would be atypical using previous cycles and other schools as benchmarks.

Tennis - I really cannot believe it either.

Dinged. First reserve, then second reserve after a delay of a few days in getting the email. Came home to a letter this afternoon.

[lawschool2014hopeful]

Called. There will not be any acceptances unless someone withdraws.

Thanks! This is useful info

When do we start speculating on how dings are being handed out? If I recall, some people were also let go between 1st and 2nd reserves, no? Spots have evidently not opened up for the reserve group, yet they are still letting people go???? If this is the case, this smells highly inefficient on Columbia's part. I'm convinced the dings mean that some elusive soul flying under the radars of TLS and LSN has actually been accepted off the reserve list.

Where you part of the second reserve wave that took place 7/10?

Not necessarily. It could mean they're cutting their reserve list down because they don't anticipate a lot of people to come off of it so instead of having a ton of reserves with a lot of people they wouldn't even consider, they might be trimming down since their class is full and they wouldn't need a lot off of it anyway. But then again, trying to get inside the Columbia adcons this cycle has been fruitless

I'd agree with this assessment

Mine was a little after that, around the 15th I think?

Right, mixed up my dates a little bit. I was 2R around June 15, received the ding letter which was dated July 12. During that second round, I received my email a few days after the majority of people here seemed to have gotten theirs.

[skicrazy]

I have a friend that got off the waitlist in June. It doesn't appear they have let many people in off the waitlist, but there has been at least one.

[RC0925]

3rd reserved a few days ago, probs going to withdraw. Today is the deadline to pay fall tuition at the school i'll end up attending.

What was their process for notifying him/her? Did they reach out to gauge interest first?

[dancers1126]

Updated stats (splitter is LSAT>median, GPA<median):

wait list accepts: 0 (3.2% in last three years = 4.8 more expected)
wait list rejected: 15
wait list self-removal: 50
wait list remaining: 148
splitter wait list remaining: 10
splitter wait list accepted: 0 (11.7% over last three years = 1 more expected, 11.7% chance)

Placed on Reserve in March. Have received zero word from Columbia: re 2nd reserve, 3rd reserve. Have not received rejection letter. Anyone care to interpret these facts?

id call and ask

[ag20938]

Placed on the reserve list in April. Received the 2nd reserve email with everyone else around June 10th. I've yet to get a 3rd reserve email. Does this mean a ding? or has anyone else not heard anything yet after being placed on second reserve?

[stugots]

Dinged via mail last night. Was expecting it after not receiving the 3rd reserve email. GL to everyone still alive!
