Admitted via email, just now. I was originally held in mid-March and submitted a LOCI/essay in late March.

Thanks! I think it's still sinking in. Obviously it is a game-changer for me. Hoping to get some $ at least to make a decision.checkers wrote:Hey, big congrats! How does it feel?

In case anyone is wondering about demographics here, I'm a splitter for Columbia (173/3.6x).
I wasn't expecting to get this email today! For all of you in this thread, keep the faith - good news is right around the corner.

I haven't been held or contacted for any reason. I haven't sent in a LOCI. But if they are practicing YP this cycle it couldn't hurt you to express your strong interest in CLS. That is, assuming, you are strongly interested in CLS.dnptan wrote:As a 75/75 who isn't held, but hasn't received any news, does that mean I should send a LOCI or something? They didn't ask for anything from me.
WLed at NYU today which means I've got one last shot to stay in New York. Come onnnnn Columbia!

Are you at 75ths and waiting? Would you actually attend CLS or would you just go to H anyway? If you really do want to stay in New York over cambridge and you have the numbers, seriously, tell them - they will want you. Send an email or call up admissions and ask them, because there's no reason for them to take a hit to their yield this late in the game unless you're serious.gbelle wrote:I haven't been held or contacted for any reason.

Random question to satisfy my curiosity: Do any of you know if schools get the detailed response report (I think that's what it's called) or just the LSAT scores?

My understanding was that they could reference the response form and look at your essay.bravo1085 wrote:Random question to satisfy my curiosity: Do any of you know if schools get the detailed response report (I think that's what it's called) or just the LSAT scores?

Here's the language from their website. Looks like they might not get your answer sheet:fivestarfolds wrote:My understanding was that they could reference the response form and look at your essay.bravo1085 wrote:Random question to satisfy my curiosity: Do any of you know if schools get the detailed response report (I think that's what it's called) or just the LSAT scores?
