I disagree. Some of us will surely be rejected.

i don't think anyone who wrote a LOCI and was held will get rejected

That would make my year. Better yet, my decade lol.

They haven't even given me the chance to write a LOCI. I'm headed straight to the "suck it, applicant" pile.

[jasmoon]

I'm one of those who went complete in January and still haven't heard a word.

+1. i went complete first week of January - has anyone else who went complete around then heard anything?

I've been complete since December and haven't heard a word.

Be optimistic!

[legalnoeagle]

The optimism in this thread died a long time ago, my friend.

[SaintClarence27]

I'm dying here! Late APRIL??? Ugh. I hate being patient!

if it makes you feel better, you are going to get WLd.

I doubt it, but thanks for the optimism!

[IAFG]

Be optimistic!

i am not being optimistic or pessimistic, i just went through the data and know the odds for most held applicants are bad, especially borderlines like me.

It moved to the IN AT COLUMBIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thread

I want to know if they will just hold our apps and do nothing with it in a silent WL? We will actually get a notice of some sort this month right?

You won't pay sticker at Chi but sticker at CLS would make your decade? To each their own, I guess.

Any word on Holds at Columbia? I haven't been following it.. but is this gonna be a Harvard/Stanford-esque lengthy process? Or are they gonna just put us all on reserve..

I anticipate CLS offering me a decent need-based grant (based TLS + LSN data). I also want to work in NYC and CLS's LRAP is much better than Chicago's.

I'd pay sticker at Chicago... although I get to live at home if I get in, so I'd save a good deal of cash. NYC cost of living scares me. Of course my hold will probably be a WL or rejection anyways.

I have to decided to give you my seat at Chicago.
Prepare for the call.
Enjoy .

I have been complete for some time. Haven't received a decision, haven't been held. Should I send a LOCI?

[nycdweller]

Dinged today. Complete 2/05. Subsequently Held.

I was pretty confident heading into this cycle with my 178 LSAT, but CLS, my first choice, yelled at me and threw a Black's Law Dictionary at my face.

*shaking fist in anger*

You obviously have a great LSAT so I'm sure you have some great options otherwise. But, this is the first hold --> rejection I've seen for CLS. Any others?

ETA: Did you get the e-mail encouraging you to submit a LOCI that was sent last week?

Why?!

[Polka]

how are things going on the financial aid front, people? i submitted my stuff right around the deadline, so i imagine i will be on the late end of offers. do they come by mail or email? i am getting antsy because i live abroad and it will take a couple of weeks for my deposit to get there once i find out where i am going. let me know if this stuff is being discussed elsewhere.

I think we briefly talked about it in the "in at columbia" thread in this same subforum, but I got my offer e-mailed to me on April 1st, and I got a real letter a day or two ago. I think I got the e-mail because I e-mailed Columbia and told them about my NYU offer and its deadline.

also, I sent in some of my forms on time and others a few days late.

finally, you know you can pay your columbia deposit online, right? they have an option on the admitted students site where you can put in a credit card # and pay the deposit that way. I dunno if other schools have a similar option.

[Polka]

i had no idea! thanks!! i feel retarded for not checking that. the other school i am considering (chicago) requires that their deposit be mailed by their april 30 deadline, so i guess i can cool my heels for a while.
