Columbia 2011! Forum

It may be nice to have CLS numbers-whore for admissions, but when it comes to actually spending three years with people who have nothing more than an ultra-high LSAT score, are double-Ivy, and have a respectable u/g GPA, well...that I can't envision. I actually want to know my classmates for the rest of my life, so ideally they'd be interesting people too =]

CLS: I am SUPER INTERESTING and have NEVER SET FOOT IN AN IVY!

Me too, it's going to be weird hanging out with ivy-league types all the time...

Got a GULC package but no Columbia package in the Midwest.

For a bit of lighthearted relief for those waiting, check out the hipster stereotype on pg. 158 living in Williamsburg who doesn't know where Greenpoint is. (jk bro)

Assume you mean me, though I'm not sure why? They asked about neighborhoods, GP is a different neighborhood from Williamsburg, with a different zip code.

Not you. Someone told jd2014! that zip codes in Greenpoint and Cobble Hill had already gotten mail, to which he/she responded "Bah, I can't make sense of this." Someone later said that Williamsburg had also received them, to which he/she replied with shocked dismay. Just thought it was funny considering Greenpoint is merely blocks north, and it plays into the stereotype of transplants who move to Brooklyn without really knowing the geography of the city.

I am so far from Ivy its ridiculous. I'm glad that my UG didn't seem to hamper my admission too much, I was really worried about it

I think (not to assume) but the "I can't make sense of this" and "shocked dismay" referred to how bizzaro the randomness of the VCE delivery is, not because jd2014 doesn't know where those places are.

[Frankie55]

Mea culpa, in that case.

yikes, I use my parents' address since I'm abroad and they are also abroad momentarily. My brother is supposed to check for my law school mail, but is unreachable. less than fun.

Still no vomit in my DC mailbox. I'm really hoping this "second wave" is real.

[Spykuh]

Still no vomit in my DC bay area mailbox. I'm really hoping this "second wave" is real.

i also haven't gotten my GULC package yet, so i'm not giving up hope...yet.

+1 - no GULC package, 1/26 wave...I keep coming up with reasons to hope

[Kent M]

I also have no Georgetown mailing.

If that second wave exists, I can stop wishing for the incompetence of my neighborhood post office here in Las Vegas.

Any (non-Hamilton, non-ED) e-mails/VCE's abroad yet?

[WestOfTheRest]

Any (non-Hamilton, non-ED) e-mails/VCE's abroad yet?

Today? Or at all?

[Knock]

I see my mailman! He's across the street, will report back in ~15-20 . I wasn't stalking, but happened to see him while I was making a sandwich.

Either way i'm eating a delicious sandwich, so this is truly a win-win situation.

Yes, there have been some internationals that have got emails that aren't ED and aren't Hamiltons.

[thecilent]

haha Mmm sandwichh

[ahduth]

Alright, I'll bite. WTH is a GULC package.

Apparently some acceptance package they sent out around 1/24, since their original acceptance was just one piece of paper.

Super, thanks! Will hold out hope that in lieu of an e-mail a VCE is finding its way to my permanent address in the US...

and @knock- mmm a sandwich sounds like a fantastic idea right now...

[Knock]

Nothing in Cali.

[jtemp320]

Those of you got VCEs when did you go complete - maybe I just went complete too late - yeah thats it?!
