Stuck in the waiting room at the vet watching daytime tv. Pretty much any email would be more entertaining at this point.

But I thought they evaluated our applications holistically?

Lol after being held all this time, just got a reserve email. Luckily I didn't care either way and will be withdrawing. Good luck to everyone else!

I spoke too soon.
Just got reserved again, and I doubt I'm staying on this time

Anyone know if it's possible to get $ off the WL? If not, I'll probably be withdrawing

Reserve. I'll probably ride it out through the end of May, but not anticipating any good news.

Reserved. Above both 75ths, applied in early November. Was mostly waiting out of curiousity. Guess I'll withdraw now.

Held --> reserve --> withdrew

Columbia is definitely in the running for the most obnoxious admission process award...

reserve is the waitlist.

14. Columbia: 3.2% (464 applicants on LSN did not withdraw from the waitlist, 15 eventually admitted)

LSN is very incomplete. It's self reported.

CLS doesn't draw heavily from reserve but it does take students every year. I have several friends who got in over the summer.

That being said, if you have a large scholarship at another top school, might as well withdraw.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
Just kidding ... it's still FREE!
