From last year:
M51 wrote:
My take: Columbia traditionally has a 3 round "early" decision schedule before their bulk decisions in late January.

1st Round - Some acceptances (the ones they reviewed early presumably). Auto-Admits. Auto-Rejects. This just passed wed.

2nd Round - (traditionally the second week of December, but this year the 1st round was early, so who knows). A mix of Acceptances and Reject/Deferrals.

3rd Round - (right before Christmas) All remaining ED. Mostly rejects at this point with a few deferrals and very few acceptances. This is horrible timing imo and will ruin quite a few X-mases.

Sit tight. The 2nd round's not here yet. You might have reason to be more depressed if the 2nd round passes w/o a word.

I was never really expecting to get in from the start. It will help ease the pain.

edit: but I do have to say that the rejection right before Christmas is going to be a sonofabitch.

When you get into CLS, I won't have anyone to melodramatically mope with :( I still hope you get in but it will be a rough time for me.

Not that there's any chance I'd/I'll be in a first batch, because God knows any admittance would be by a whisker, but those acceptance people just made my day.
Scary as it is, I'm glad it's started.

If that is any indication, it looks like I woulda been in w/ ED. Hopefully I'm not kicking myself later for going RD instead. Ugh. I guess it was the right decision because I still don't know what school I would like to attend.

That will make four acceptances that we know about so far.

For those who've been accepted, because I'm curious, does the email still follow the pdf attachment format, or is it a straight up, in the text, you've been accepted?

Well, the sender is "Admit" and the subject line is "Columbia Law School".... there's no big surprise when you open that pdf!

Well, that's probably it for today, since they all received their acceptances between 2:00-2:20 EST

Sad that the excitement, so quickly begun, has already ended.
Except for those people that only check their email every few hours, who'll be here crowing around dinnertime...

I just tried as well, no luck. You're probably right on a new user name coming later.
