There's no further change after "complete" for anyone unfortunately

Or fortunately for those of us who haven't heard yet...

Did anyone receive scholarship info in their package that they did not see already in the email?
It seems as if the Hamiltons reported are of people who just received the package with no email.

Just asking because I received an email but lost my mailbox key and have no access to my mailbox. I need to know the appropriate amount of angst I should feel

So if waiting for Columbia wasn't stressful enough, I heard from another law school today that they received the package they sent me earlier this week "return to sender - no longer at this address" when I very much still live there. Sure enough, I've not gotten mail from another 2 (possibly 3, not sure if NU has sent its packages yet) law schools I should have heard from by now.

Meaning, I have no idea if Columbia has sent me something and it's already been returned to them. And I can't exactly call and ask "um, excuse me have you admitted me yet?"

ETA: Congrats curlietop!!!

Yeah I guess I worry about coming off like I assume that they've tried to mail me something by now (part of me hopes they have, part of me hopes they haven't because if so it's now stuck in the USPS netherworld).

just frame it in terms of future communications, but mention that it's been this way for the past few weeks or whatever. I don't think you'll come off badly

Thanks!! According to USPS it should be resolved in the next couple days so hopefully from this point on checking my mailbox will be a more fruitful experience. Is it horrible that it took a law school telling me to notice that I haven't gotten any mail for a month? #snailmailisdead

Accepted with a Butler! Must have come in the mail last night but I just found it when I went home at lunch.

Unbelievably excited.

Congrats to all the new admits! remember to check in at the Columbia Class of 2018 forum. I know it is ugly and boring as shit right now but I will diligently continue posting until I can add pretty pics and a banner

rustyburger2 · Post by **rustyburger2** » Wed Jan 28, 2015 6:01 pm

Hey guys, I have a question for all of you interviewees:

Did any of you get any feedback about your interview at the end? Did anyone get a strong positive vibe? How about a negative one?

Thanks in advance

Nothing beyond your normal courtesies (i.e. thank you for speaking with us, etc.) and then the promise that I would be hearing back "sooner rather than later" regarding my admission decision.

The TrashMan · Post by **The TrashMan** » Wed Jan 28, 2015 7:52 pm

Congrats to all that have heard good things.

Has anyone more knowledgeable than me gotten a feel for how they feel about reverse splitters? LSAT=25% GPA=100%.
Been complete since Nov 12 with complete radio silence.

Thanks in advance.

Got an email a couple weeks after I submitted asking for an employer recommendation letter, which I had already included with my app. I sent another copy in. Then, three weeks later I get another email asking for the same letter. I forward them my original response, and they respond back that I am now complete.

So, instead of being complete mid-November, I'm complete mid-January. Awesome.
