checking in! Not a big fan of the law school's building(s)--as compared to other schools--but Columbia's main campus is beautiful and I like Morningside Heights/West Harlem alot.

I'm just procrastinating at work, so if you don't use it, don't worry.
Thanks smcc!

I literally just opened up Photoshop to make one but saw this. Will definitely use it - so pretty.

Given that this is likely a first pick for many of us, does anyone plan on applying ED? I am considering it, although I've read that Columbia's ED boost is modest. Also, If admitted, I would likely be slammed with sticker. Plus, attractive $$ offers from other schools would have to be turned down.

Added a poll, stolen from Georgetown thread (thanks smcc)! Let's see how many people are going to ED?

No, Columbia's ED is binding.

I doubt I have the numbers (in my bank account) for this school, but I might as well see if I can get in.
