LOL hahaha...I remember that thread.

I don't think I'd get enough money from CLS or NYU (if any) to sway me though.
Chicago I am thinking of withdrawing from the waitlist...

Re: Beating the odds: Columbia Reserve c/o 2016
Reading between the lines a little bit on page 2 of the reserve letter they sent, I got the feeling that they didn't encourage new written materials unless you have questions or concerns, wanted to clarify something on your application, or they specifically asked you for more material. Could be wrong though.
Also it says in the letter that at the end of May they will do their next review of the reserve list, and admit & deny some people at that point.

And has anyone been dinged from CLS or do we all end up in the abyss of the reserve?

Nope, they reject people from reserve (they say so in their reserve letter, but wasn't sure if I should believe them):toothbrush wrote:And has anyone been dinged from CLS or do we all end up in the abyss of the reserve?

Speaking to an admissions rep, I learned that LOCIs are not discouraged. I guess that goes without saying but I wasn't sure.

are you guys sending your additional LORs directly to admissions? Or are you sending them through LSAC?
