I got into columbia!!! so happy! got the email today!

Hey many congratulations to Applicant2009....if i'm not wrong u r from pakistan or some asian country....i'm asking this because, i'm from india and ur admission means that they have started with asian applicants......i'm really getting very tensed now.....have they called u as well or just an email????????

thank you brightest!

yes i'm from Pakistan. i didnt get a call. just got an email. just hang in there... i'm sure you'll here from them soon. best of luck!

Thanks a billion to all of you guys. It is definitely the best surprise of the year and I couldn't ask for more.

@ Applicant 2009 - CONGRATULATIONS!!

@ Brightest - I'm from Thailand and didn't get any phone call from CLS. I think they have started reviewing applications from Asian countries already :) My background is nothing fancy. I got LL.B. and LL.M. from my country and have about 7 years of work experience. My TOEFL is only 100 so I got admission on the condition that I enroll an intensive English program in the U.S. (They don't seem to specify it has to be the program at their university)

If I can get in, you can too! I'll be waiting to hear some good news from you ok? :)

Best of luck to all of you!

Congrats Nokina!
Could you please tell us you Toefl sub-section score and when you sent you application?
Many thanks!

Any south americans in yet?

hey! any news brightest???

Hi Jenny

I got 20 for speaking section and 26-27 for other sections. My online application was submitted on October 18 and supporting documents arrived CLS 3 days from that.

Good luck :)

hey applicant2009 and nokina thanks for ur kind words.......no good news as of now and today is the last day in this week, they dnt operate on weekends i suppose........feeling little anxious but apart from the work exp., which is only 1 year, my other credentials are not dat bad.....i have hopes....lets see......but i dnt think dey have any pattern of declaring results....i mean twelfthmonkey has applied on the last date (i think) and he (or she) got the result.....so i'm hopeful.........lets see.......but i seriously think that they should declare all the results for one category (e.g. early review) on the same day....at least unnecessary anxiety will not take off ur breathe evytime u open ur mail account........

hey all......i was just surfign CLS' website when i came across this link
http://www.law.columbia.edu/login&main.ctrl=null&main.view=users.login
.....it says admitted student and ask for a used ID and a password and I used my application login details but i was unable to surf through....those who have got acceptance from them could please throw some light on the situation......

Hey Brightest,

to enter that link you need to use the login details that the dean of graduate legal studies gives you in the acceptance email.

have you heard from them?

Once again, congratulations to all admitted applicants.

I am yet to receive any news from CLS.

However, i remain hopeful of an imminent good news.

@Brightest keep the hope alive you are not alone.

Yes we can!!!!

Hey guys congrats to all those who have received the admission offer.I did not apply in the early reciew but in the regular cycle. Do you have any info as to when will they start checking the regular ones and what are the chances for regulars to get through.

hey thanks for consoling jboy.......now 2 days we can just relax as sat and sunday they'll not be sending out any results..........anyways all d best to all who are still waiting..........regular cycle applicants can expect the result from Feb end...........

hey applicant2009....i ahve not got any email from CLS....i was just asking in general the login details for entering this link......

Have you heard anything regarding financial aid.....

They said they will let us know about financial aid early next year.

thanks for the info brightest
and congrats to applicant 2009 :)

I saw in the other thread that CLS takes very few applicants for the early review program. Do you guys have any info regarding that?
It is my perception that only the applicants with exceptionally excellent credentials get offer thru the early review program otherwise why would they transfer the rest to the regular cycle. It is my logic only that I am relying upon to infer to the above.

Can anyone help me understand chances for applicants to regular cycle. I submitted my application in the late Nov.

Congrats to all who have received good news. I am sorry to repeat a question already made, but I am under the impression that they communicate with admitted applicants from the same regions at one time, so I want to insist... Anyone from south america has received any news yet?

It is my impression also. No news from this south american...

Well, it's the 15th today. Regular cycle's up for consideration now.. I remember somewhere on the website that said these would be out typically by late January, but I wouldn't be surprised if it dragged on til late February. I'm so nervous it's actually pure misery. Especially knowing that it's totally out of my hands.

Hearing about other people's progress strangely makes it better though, so please keep updating us, those of you out there who got wind of it already.

Oh, and it would greatly help if with the good news, you include:
(a) where you're from;and
(b) how it was conveyed to you.

I trust that would greatly help everyone else too, no?

Good luck everyone :)
