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

[JamMasterJ]

so hold status is for more borderline candidates, then? just trying to figure out a rationale here. also, if there is a "first tier hold" category (which i kinda doubt just given the amount of tlsers that already mentioned a recent email), how much of that group do u think they want to take (assuming most ppl send in locis)?

thoughts/theories? also, any chance of columbia matching need-based aid from hsy? what is a butler scholarship?

Butler is a half ride scholarship. As far as matching need-based from hys, your guess is as good as mine

It seems most people have gotten a decision whether acceptance, rejection, hold or reserve.

Anyone else out there with radio silence besides me?

[cgomez]

I have not heard anything since a grades request in December. I applied on 11/25

Complete silence since my 12/1 complete date.

[MyPrecious]

Also silence since I was rolled over from ED to RD.

There are still a few of us out there, but this email asking held applicants for a LOCI makes me think they're just about through making decisions on us.

[Barca10]

Radio silence since early January.

If they start releasing hold decisions before they get to us, I might have an aneurysm. At least it is too late to just get a hold email? Right....?

+1

[LilCanadianKid]

I went complete in early February - havent heard anything since the complete email. At all. Should I send in a LOCI or just wait it out?!

[luxxe]

Just put on reserve.

[Mr. Somebody]

Just put on reserve.

Im sorry to hear that. I do think the reserve list will actually be utilized this year... were you a hold?

[luxxe]

Nope, I was in the silence group.

[dingbat]

Silent since October

[JamMasterJ]

Just put on reserve.

dammit

[luxxe]

Eh, we knew it was going to happen with my LSAT.

I just wish they hadn't given me 5 months to think it wouldn't.

I just wish they hadn't given me 5 months to think it wouldn't.

But what a glorious 5 months getting to know you better.

But seriously, sorry to hear it.

[muddup]

Wait so if I haven't heard since my ED->RD, then I'm reserved or waitlisted?

[Greenandgold]

Nah, if you haven't heard anything still you could go either way between accepted/reserved. The theory is that all of us who haven't heard back still are super border line and Columbia is taking their sweet time making a decision while they wait and see how their class is shaping up.

[JamMasterJ]

Does anyone know whether there's a correlation between when your application was held and whether you got the "hey you should send a LOCI" email?

I'm wondering (probably fruitlessly) whether the fact that I was in one of the later hold groups has anything to do with my not getting the email

Ok, thanks. Does anyone know when Columbia usually makes a FINAL decision regarding the candidacy of these ED->RD applicants?

Damn, well there goes that hope. Hopefully a bunch of people that get WL offers turn them down then, or the email doesn't mean as much as I think it does.
