Anyone above both 75ths who hasn't gotten an interview yet? Kinda bummed that I haven't been interviewed for schollys despite being above both 75ths and no C&F issues

Same here. I thought my app was pretty solid

Me too! Above both 75ths, applied mid November and have heard nothing

Same boat, though submitted a month earlier. Slightly bummed about it too.

Jumping into the boat.

How many years out of undergrad are you guys?

Same as all of you. I'm applying as a senior, but am above both 75ths and have a very high lsat

How much time did you guys have at the end of the interview for questions?

Above both 75ths, very high LSAT, 2+ years out with full-time legal experience.

One year out, currently working at a non-profit.

What's the earliest you guys are expecting first decisions?

I'm with you guys, above both 75ths, with five years of what I think is unique work experience. But I'm not sweating it too much. From what I can tell, their interview process is still pretty new and I'm not sure we can read too much into who has been interviewed and who hasn't.

Based on last year, I'm thinking they'll put the decisions in the mail on Jan. 20 or so. Seems like a few US-based folks even got emails with a scanned version of the acceptance letter on Jan 21. So...mid next week?

How much time did you guys have at the end of the interview for questions?

I only had time for one question at the end of the interview, though I'm not sure how typical that is. It was a fairly chatty/conversational interview (on both sides), so we were already at the 20 minutes mark when he asked if I had any questions.

Same here, although he promised me lots of time to ask questions at the beginning....

Ooh, is it mailed first?

Nevermind. Looks like people got emails. Fingers crossed for next week.

I think we're going to sink the boat with all these people. I'm also above both 75ths (considerably above on GPA, a point or two above on LSAT depending on the year), two years of work experience in academic scientific research, otherwise average softs, no C&F issues. And no interview!

I find myself worried that the handwritten note I sent thanking my interviewer got lost in the mail/eaten by a bear/etc etc. It would be silly to send an email 10 days later, right?

Probably, especially in the extremely likely event that your note didn't get lost.

All these "above 75th" posts are making me want to slit my splitter wrists.

Don't worry, if we're lucky they'll all go to HYS and Columbia Law School will pick us. haha

I'm above both 75ths too and of the 'totally ignored' contingent. I'd give Columbia a big look. I mean I live in NY it's a top top choice.

Got the interview request. PM for stats.

[strawberrieee]

I hope they will release decisions soon after this wave of interviews (after next week).

My interviewer said that the first RD acceptances would be released by the end of the month. He did not specify, however, whether that meant that we would be receiving them by the end of the month, or if they would just be mailing them then. Columbia hype is building rapidly.

ETA: The interview was very pleasant. Asked about my work experience, why law now, why Columbia, and a question or two expanding on my resume. Felt pretty good by the end of it.

Just had my interview.
Standard questions for the most part.

I feel like I just blabbed on random stuffs though.....

[Ivy2015]

How much time did you guys have at the end of the interview for questions?

I'd say about 8-10 minutes
