BeachedBrit · Post by **BeachedBrit** » Thu Feb 10, 2011 7:27 pm

I'm snail mailing a packet of updated stuff. Really hoping it works because I'm getting the WL everywhere.

This is so sad. Hopefully we'll be pleasantly surprised?

So... everyone still on hold?

I'm already in at Chicago, so I don't think I am staying on the Hold list for Columbia, but I am not withdrawing from CLS til I find out how NYU pans out

Where is that message from? An additional email you received? A question you sent them?

A mild parody of a traditional hold message:

Hold Message wrote:Your call is important to us. Due to unexpected call volume, the estimated wait for an operator is 15 minutes. One of our operators will be with you as soon as possible.

Sorry, I should have used a (parody) (/parody) tag.

Sorry, I'm dense. Reading all this stilted admissions language is dulling me to sarcasm.

Straw, your posts have made me happy that I'm in this thread, despite the hold

Finding humor in mildly stressful situations is one of my fortes.

I am not sending in any additional materials. Going to wait till Apr 15 and withdraw if not admitted by then.

I'd be interested--just PM'd you.

BeachedBrit · Post by **BeachedBrit** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 3:03 pm

Would also like to exchange. Shoot me a pm.

3.7/174 applied 1/21 and they held me the next week. I feel like im just a high LSAT score they might play around with if it works for their numbers. I'm going to submit a LOCI anyway, because an admit might help me negotiate at NYU.

just submitted my LOCI via email. Not sure if my bruised ego will ever recover from the amount of ass-kissing i just engaged in. come on columbia - let me know that the loss of my dignity was not for naught.

awahoya · Post by **awahoya** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 2:31 am

Curious- where is a good place to look for tips on a LOCI?

Lol I feel ya. My loci was very short and direct and ass-kissy.

For those that updated transcripts, did you send official or unofficial transcripts.

Hey guys, I have it on good authority that CLS is using their "hold" option differently this year than in years past. Take that as you will but I am hoping/thinking it means a greater % of acceptances. Sorry but I can't tell you how as I am a paranoid schizophrenic convinced that admissions officers creep on TLS.
