Since I went complete early December and have yet to hear anything, I'm thinking that I'm just waiting for a snail mail ding.. right? I'm at the point where I just want to know, and looking at LSN it seems that if I were to be accepted/WL'd, it would have already happened?

**speculating on myself only as a super splitter reach candidate, don't mean to panic anyone who is also waiting around!

LOL no I didn't. I try to stay away from their offices with a ten foot pole. I sent an LOCI awhile ago.

I've spent 6 months speculating and have gotten nowhere. I know it's hard, but my advice is to just let it go and stop speculating.

[lauren22]

Been complete for months, had my interview in Dec., haven't been placed on hold or reserve - what doing, Columbia???

[JennyGotHerNumber]

Has anyone heard back about the Richard Paul Richman Scholarship yet?

Pretty sure it was supposed to be by today.

I'm assuming they'll let people know either way right? Does anyone know if it will be by email/snail mail/phone call?

I hope so! My working theory is that you'll get a phone call if good news, otherwise an email with a consolation merit award. Maybe that is wishful thinking...

Still no word on this? I have upcoming deposit/scholly deadlines and was really hoping to hear soon

Still no word on my end :/

Me neither

I got the call last night. I hope everyone hears back soon!

[NotAGolfer]

I got the call last night. I hope everyone hears back soon!

Congrats!!!

Assuming this means the rest of us are out?

I appreciate that. This has gone on way longer than I thought it would, thanks for grounding my speculating!

No, I don't think they're expected before a decision at all. I also applied in October lol

Similar boat. Interview in late January and nothing since. With all the reserves being sent out I was starting to think I was the only one like this.

When do you think we will hear back?

[RPlatt85]

Applied in January. Around both medians. Heard nothing and haven't even been interviewed. All hope now lost.

Interview in late Jan and still no word too. There are dozens of us!

LOL this somehow makes me feel better (solidarity) but also worse (more competition?) Good luck to you all! Can't wait for this month to end!

When I was interviewed in late Feb, I was told by the interviewer that the interview is not a required procedure to get admitted. My lsat is above 75% and gpa evaluated as S (because i am an international applicant). But I still have not received a decision so far.

Do we know when Columbia usually decides on the Held portion? The letter specified a date when they would respond at the latest, but having only three days to decide on which law school I'm attending seems imprudent and a bit unlawyerish.
Maybe they're trying to train us in quick thinking. Who knows?

I think someone had noted that in previous years, people on the Hold list were notified if they were admitted during the first and second week of April, and everyone else (reserves and dings) were notified on or right before April 26th. But seeing as none of us have reported hearing yet, I don't know if that timeline holds...

yeah, I don't remember the accepted holds but I'm pretty sure TLS had reported them before now, bc this year I was braced from march 27 on. it seems like the timeline is different this year. I was reserved 4/20 last year but people had definitely reported acceptances before that
