Is it possible to get accepted to Columbia Law without getting interviewed first? Or is it necessary?

I was not interviewed.

[bell]

Just got the email! I'm in! I didn't interview at all, and I was getting worried.

Did anyone get scholarship offers with their acceptance?

So you had only radio silence up until the acceptance?

And congrats!!!!!

Congrats everyone!!!!! are the emails coming in waves or did you all receive it at the same time?

[CerealMilk]

I got mine at around 2pm, anyone else?

[fliptrip]

Congrats to all the new admits! Hoping for more for everyone!

They attach a PDF of your letter (addressed to you) to the email, which I assume means they have to send emails one at a time instead of in a mass mailing. So it might be a slow trickle!

And Jetsfan, yup, radio silence til now. Thanks!

Oh, I remember that last year, if you got a scholarship, they didn't email your acceptance letter in advance. You had to wait for the light blue envelope.

Between all the decisions coming today from Columbia, NYU, and NU, I'm just desperately refreshing the entire internet, breaking every so slightly each time nothing happens.

I mean... congrats, everyone!

Huh? Why that's so bizarre.

[ypbravo]

Is anyone continuing receiving acceptance email after 2pm? So nervous!

[mdnyc]

In! Got the email at 1:51pm. No indication of scholarship and no interview.
I went complete on 10/28. Above 50 LSAT, above 75 GPA.

Awesome start to a short workweek.

I remember reading that as well, though I believe there were a couple exceptions? I don't remember though.

After the WLs from Penn and Chicago I thought I had no chance... this is the best! Almost done hearing from everyone too!

Bear in mind, I know nothing of their internal processes, but in true TLS tradition, I will not allow that fact to stop me from speculating with confidence.

They probably have a different process pathway for scholarship recipients that makes routes it through a different person before they are mailed out. Since the emails are individualized, they seem to be the product of an especially courteous admissions office admin rather than a systematic procedure.
