Columbia c/o 2015 Applicants (2011-2012 cycle) Forum

anyone know why LSN looks so much more predictable for Columbia and NYU than it does for Chicago?

class size....same reason why harvard is more predictable than yale

For the class of 2014, Columbia had 406 matriculants, and NYU had 450. It's hardly a great disparity.

That's the point they're making. NYu and Columbia are BOTH significantly larger than uchi

thanks Yeshia for supporting my argument???????

Whoops, misread that. My bad. I just have troubling coming to terms with the fact that the second city inferiority complex is so great that Chicago keeps coming up in NYC school threads.

[Tiago Splitter]

The rush to judgement and subsequent RC fail suggests the inferiority complex may be running in the other direction

Can anyone tell me how long it took for their app to go complete? Columbia has all my forms except my Application form which is strange to me since I submitted through LSAC. I'm wondering if they are waiting for a third LOR even though I'm pretty sure I explicitly marked the box allowing them to start my review before it came in. I know CLS is usually later on in the year, but I just want to make sure that my app goes complete and everything is in before I've got to deal with this later, and I haven't been able to find the answer earlier in the thread.

1-2 weeks. Don't worry, they're slow.

Compared to some other schools, Columbia was actually quite fast. But yes on the 1-2 weeks statement.

[Take Two]

Just got my "application is complete email"

Good luck in the admissions process and we hope to welcome you here as a member of the Class of 2015!

I hope so too! I feel like there is an easy solution to this....

just got an information booklet from Columbia.
only a week after my submission and this booklet traveled all the way from US to China. Hope that is the sign that they love me.

Crap, guys.

I applied ED but my ED contract still isn't in. Overnighting it again. Even considering walking it over since I live in NYC. LSAC also says my app wasn't submitted until after midnight on the 16TH for some reason. Eek.

As long as you submitted before midnight on the 15th, I think you're fine
I read somewhere on TLS that they allow 2 weeks before they move you to RD
so just drop off ur contract as fast as u can and u should be ok

I think...

This is a bit confusing, other app checkers list whether your are RD or ED, but I don't see that for Columbia. I applied ED, got my complete e-mail today, but no mention of my ED status. I'm not gonna call them up about it, but I am a bit nervous that they possibly didn't get my ED contract.

If you're an early decision applicant, then you won't go complete until theyve received your contract. So you're good!

ah, that's comforting. Thanks!

[Strange]

Submitted 11/9, complete on 11/23

[anewaphorist]

Sent 10/27, Complete 11/2.

[MoneyTeam]

I'm guessing Columbia is just the slowest to update their online status checker. My last recommendation was sent to them alost three and a half weeks ago and they still haven't updated it.

mine says I have all materials in, but that it's taking a while to process. That's really odd

OK seriously someone has to explain this before I die. ED decisions aren't until December, right?
