1.5 pages would be the very upper limit IMO.

If you're over that, just split the LOCI in half and send it in two waves spaced out a few weeks apart. (That's if you really have that much important stuff to update the adcoms with.) I know I wouldn't even want to read 50 of these one page LOCIs if I were an adcom.

How good are they at confirming LOCIs? Sent one in yesterday morning and haven't heard back. Heard back from all other schools within a few hours.

They confirmed receipt of mine the next business day - I wouldn't be worried if it takes even until tomorrow

I'd just call or email the office to see if they got it.

When placed on the reserve list, does the Columbia status checker update to show that info?

When those got off the waitlist last year, how did it go? Was it a YP phone call and then an acceptance?

I think there was an email first to set up a time for a phone call. Have you heard something from them?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does "YP" mean?

Yield protection. They don't want to accept people and have them decline. It chips away at their selectivity.

Not at the rate people are withdrawing applications. I'm pretty sure a handful of people (20 or so at the most) are gonna get off reserve this time around and then may like 5 late this summer before classes start.

When I spoke with them they said they didn't start looking at the reserve list until June.

There is a possibility that they might not accept anyone at all.
