Columbia 2010 Forum

i am surprised 173/3.8's are getting held, CLS's medians are 172/3.7ish, what is going on?

I think it's about right. FWIW LSP puts those numbers at 67% at/below for Columbia. That's far from shoe-in territory. Right now, I am just happy to still be in the running.

Anecdotally, it seems Columbia has continued its premium placed on LSAT vs. GPA (i.e. my roommate was accepted 2 weeks ago with a 3.7x/174)

I was held a couple of days ago too. In at HY (176/4.07 @ HYP), so I'm not too bummed. I'm confused more than anything else.

Now I'm alarmed again.

In an attempt to understand this "hold" business, I did a search. Apparently "holds" in the past do pretty well; so there's reason to be optimistic. I also withdrew my application as soon as I heard. Hopefully that'll help someone.

Much thanks musil, that information (I hope) has lightened some heavy hearts.

Now you have a very difficult choice ahead of you (unless you already made it!).

got in today (complete a month ago). very surprised, since my first LSAT was in low 160s.

[lz06]

If the held individuals do not mind... Were any of you late December/early January applicants?

Applied on 12/17 and went complete on 12/28

[neimanmarxist]

held today, letter dated 2/9. my #'s can't touch most of yours. good luck everyone

[crackberry]

thanks, crack! you still alive (not that it matters, haha)?

Yeah, no word yet out here in California.

[stillWaiting23]

Complete first week of November, but haven't heard anything since then.

3.6, 1.73.

Sent an (unasked for) LOCI in late January that was pretty strong, imho. Maybe that's what's delaying a response?

+1...and believe me, I'm not holding my breath

[violaboy]

Nothing in the Mountain West.

[gladitsover]

is it worth writing a LOCI solely about my interest in columbia, i don't really have anything to add

Congratulations! I don't know if that should make me hopeful or extra-alarmed, especially with the postmark... Happy you finally heard, though!

[Kiersten1985]

I'm guessing/hoping "Reserve List" is same as held. In that case, got the letter today 169/3.66. Pleasantly surprised.

[ferris1127]

My Fellow Chain Members,
My heart goes out to you. Still no word around here...I keep telling my mom not to get her hopes up when she checks the mail. Last known admit sent out 2/9...do we think they are now moving into a reserve/hold/reject phase? Or do we keep hope in the chain? What remains of the chain? Good luck to everyone, may we all end up "where we are meant to be."
