How long does it usually take after being accepted to receive fin aid info? I submitted need access and FAFSA, but is there an additional CLS specific form I'll have to fill out? Thanks!

A really long time. I don't have mine still, and I submitted everything relatively on-time (early March).

There is a specific CLS questionnaire on the admitted students site. Do you have credentials yet for that? If not let me know and I can email the pdf.

I literally just got mine and I submitted my info FOREVER ago. Give them a call. They will shoot you straight and will tell you when to expect an award decision.

Withdrew; declined the Hamilton. Good luck to all those still waiting!

Le sigh, is right. Please let us in?

Was at admitted students event today. Lol @ all the cls students playing solitaire and facebooking during class. So serious.

[PRgradBYU]

Still nothing from CLS. Not that it matters at the point, but geez.

Other than the clear lack of concern of class (obv due to awesome job placement), what was your impression of the school?


Also, this may have been answered already, but for anyone who goes here or is familiar with the area, how's the fitness center? is it decent for serious weight lifting? And how about groceries - good places to buy lots of food nearby?

My guides were not excited about the grocery/food options by Lenfest.

Morton Williams is a small grocery on the broadway side on 116.

Milano is a snobby deli/grocery that has high price tags on cheese you've never heard of.

Fairway is on 125th and is not a bad walk. This is your best bet if you cook your meals as I did in UG.


As for the fitness center. It's a zhoke. As a student athlete, I preferred to schedule 7 am weight training even though I am inclined to sleep till noon rather than use that god awful facility open to the general student body. The athlete training room is dope. The general room is not.

You have lots of options for groceries. West side market at 110th and broadway is always good. Trader Joe's is a few stops away on the 1 line (it's at 72nd and broadway). I THINK there's a whole foods at 96th and amsterdam. There's also a lovely store called garden of eden near by.

You also have farmers markets that come up to Columbia a few times a week.

This girl knows her food, and I can assure you, you will have plenty of options

Called again just now to see if they had mailed my ding, and they said they hadn't made a decision yet. My false hope is building. Are there any other deferred EDers still waiting?

You can also use FreshDirect and have basic staples delivered. Pretty convenient if you don't want to lug 12 packs of paper towels on the subway.

I was held in March, still nothing on my end. I emailed them yesterday and they told me the same thing as you. GOOD LUCK.

[Tekrul]

Congratulations! It doesn't sound like you have a bad decision to make!

On the other hand, I have heard legitimately nothing for over 6 months. No hold or reserve or wait list... literally nothing. But if I get an acceptance on the last day that they render decisions, it'll all be worth it! Here's to hoping

yeah, but i'm abroad so i wouldn't draw any conclusions from that.

and thanks for the congrats all...im pulling for the rest of you!

[Tekrul]

Grats to you both.

Not looking good for me if they are taking above median GPA and below median LSAT. I'm not that kind of splitter

[KingFish]

In!!!! Stoked unreal

I had a 10 minute phone interview last week. Complete 1/29. Never held.
3.4/177

[Tekrul]

I would do so many things for a phone interview. So many things.

Edit: Grats!
