Just got the reserve e-mail. Can anyone who speaks bullsh*t decipher the letter for me. Do I have any shot at an acceptance or is this equivalent to a ding? Should I send a LOCI? Any other suggestions welcome.

ETA: Is a reserve at Columbia a sign I might have a shot at the lower t-14 only other school i heard from except gtown

[FeraFera]

Reserved. Oh well.

Acceptance off of the WL seems really slim.

I don't know what I want to do. I don't know if it's worth trying to ride the reserve when I already have NYU and am unlikely to get much, if any, cash from either.

I'd say if you'd rather have CLS than NYU, then you should stay on.

Weird that you heard and Jam is still waiting when you have identical GPAs and similar LSATs. He's got the weirdest cycle.

Yeah, I fucked up on the LSAT in december, so I threw in apps just to see what happens since my prelaw advisor said it doesn't make a difference. Now I'm pretty sure I'm going to just reapply next cycle. Columbia has always been my dream, with NYU in a close second, and being on reserve just makes me realize I should wait. BLEH

Well that sucks. But congrats on NYU, that seems like an amazing consolation. I think I would take this better if I had a t-6 or even a t-10 acceptance in my pocket but unfortunetly I made the mistake of being a splitter

my gpa's a little higher than listed.

[Mr. Somebody]

When did you guys submit? Any November submits? A little worried I have a ding letter coming in the mail now

I have no strong feelings one way or the other.

[georgeconstanza]

I just got the Reserve e-mail...Am I to read previous posts as meaning that Reserve basically means, "we'll let you know if you want, but yeah, you're not coming here," or something else?

[pupperoni]

for cls, reserve means you have just been rejected. sorry folks.

[horrorbusiness]

man, i wish i'd gotten the hold email. unless there's another incoming round of holds/WLs, i'm either gonna get straight admit or straight reject. which means i'm probably gonna get the straight reject.


edit:

in that case, maybe i don't want the email. but i submitted early november, so this is pretty weird.

[luxxe]

Fearing the same. But someone with similar stats to mine just got reserved, so there is hope. I got a CLS specific LOR and I am kind of praying that it + my GPA will help them to overcome my LSAT.

So really I am just waiting on my rejection letter.

[hyakku]

Lol just got the reserve email, I'm honestly shocked they didn't ding me for whatever reason. I'm gonna submit the form but go back to forgetting about CLS, although Ive gotta say I appreciate them not straight dinging me I guess lol? Never really thought I would go this far so can't really complain. I doubt this is anything more than a ding though lmao.


Anyway. Back to lurking the mich thread, good luck for all the people still waiting. Submitted nov.

If I may ask, if that's the case, why not just reject instead of reserve? There has to be a distinction of some kind. Unless their process is just completely illogical, which I suppose wouldn't be terribly surprising.

[vincanity1]

No reserve email. No snail mail. No fall grade request. No clue where I stand.

They don't tend to take people off of reserve. There is a distinction (you are "technically" WL'd) but it is very unlikely that you will get off the WL.

Just in case something catastrophic happens and their yield is way too low, they have a backup plan. Probably never a problem Columbia has to face though

So then, is Reserve like second tier waitlist (and unless everyone turned them down, why would they get to the second tier)? Just trying to conceptualize it.

[lawschool899]

in the midwest and happy that my mailbox has been empty since rejection letters are going out...

do we know when holds will start? and what they mean at columbia? i didnt receive a reserve email and i was expecting a waitlist with my numbers so im (prematurely) optimistic.
