Complete since [strike]9/16[/strike]12/02 here. No word. Though I am on the West Coast, so for all I know, there could be something in the mail.

Haha not...Columbia is the worst; there's no way to gauge this beast

Waitlisted today. Not surprised, I actually expected a flat out reject. Oh well.

If anyone is wondering, went complete 12/9 and my numbers are 171/3.7.

Snail mail. I guess a soft reject is better than a hard one It was expected but still feels like an Indian burn or something.

Just a plain off-white envelope with Columbia Law School in the left top corner. And it wasn't... moist. Ew.

good, so it's not a VCE and I won't start squealing in delight if I get it only to open it and find a waitlist letter inside.

For what reason did you think it could be moist?

[Joan Hollaway]

any one have any clue if a hold is better than reserve at this point?

[$1.99]

kim, where are you located and what was the post mark on the letter? thanks

[blue5385]

I would think so, wouldn't they review held applications before going into the reserve?

[gahthelaw]

my understanding is that hold is better because you're still technically in the regular applicant pool

i just dont get why people that have higher stats then me are getting waitlisted in that case, guess columbias admissions are holistic after all
please accept me columbia, i will name my first born after you<3

The C in VCE is interchangeable between colored and covered.

maybe they even use real vomit to stain it that particular lovely shade for the most authentic finish

Almost certainly. I'm sure It's the liquid that they form the paper out of.

Wouldn't that be a nice anecdote to tell little Columbia when s/he is 12.

What an interesting technique, I'm really surprised they don't feature that on their website.

edit: It's also environmentally friendly to use recycled materials like that.

Parents are of course not getting mail today and may not get it tomorrow, so now vomit-cornered envelope.
