Recieved an offer 2 hours ago, with partial tuition waiver!!!! :))))) To those of you still waiting- don't loose hope (like I did) :D

I just heard a few minutes ago from Columbia and was accepted. I submitted my application in mid-December. Good luck to all those waiting. In case it helps anyone - my legal background is quite weak, so i think i was selected instead on a strong non-legal background and relevant work experience.

Graduated with honours, three years of work experience in top tier law firm (dealing mostly with specific employment and bankruptcy related issues). During my studies, I had four internships (one in UN, one in one NGO and two in law firms) and did semester abroad on Erasmus.

However, I must say that, after I have recieved the admission, I highly believe that Columbia is really "into" work experience and strong Personal Statement. My TOEFL was only 103 (which was my weak point) and my grades, although sufficient for honours in my country, were qualified only as "above average". But I do have a considerable work experience and a lot of pro bono experience, which I highly pointed out in the Statement.

Hope this was helpful. :)

Got in today after requesting an expedited decision. Am probably choosing Stanford, though.

Super anxious!

Guys, just a quick Q- what is the consequence of 1st deposit payment? Basically, what if, prior to our trip to US, our personal situation changes so much that we decide that we do not wanna go after all (eg we lose our job, get sick or something like this)?? Are we obliged to pay 55k like we took this LLM or only thing we can lose is 500 (or 750) USD? I'm hope that nothing unexpected will happen to me, but just want to make sure given the fact that for me 55k is a lot money....

Actually, being a lawyer has taught me to be extra careful, expecially when it comes to money... Sorry if this question has insulted your inteligence, but then again, thanks for your help re my concerns :)
