Columbia decisions


MAB79

Hi guys... L&E here... CLS Applicant this season with you guys...

was following this conversation. Thought I should add my 2cents.

I am not too sure, one can say earth shattering grades or great work experience etc. makes an Applicant a great bet.



I'm afraid you're very hard to understand. Keep your two cents or dirhams or whatever it is that you use.


Although I do not quite understand what L&E was talking about I do not think that your comment is any better...but kind of offensive

Kind of offensive, and even slightly racist. You should relax.

Racism ? Can anything other than a blank sugary sweet 'thanks' with a smiley be said on a public forum without it being termed racist ? Anyone who says my comment is 'racist' is either undermining the meaning of racism or has certainly never encountered racism in life.

My comment to the gent (or lady) titled 'l&e' is an expression of my irritatation at posts that beat around the bush, are not coherent, have no point to make, and therefore of little or no value. If you think speaking out so is an offense, your legal skills can't be too high.

@ jsd: while i am all for freedom of speech, I do believe your comment was highly offensive, not racist but offensive.

I'm not here to debate about the vicious association between "being unable to speak correctly" and "dirhams". I do not care about what your meant.

Anyway, this thread is about "Columbia decisions". So let's focus on the initial topic.

If so many here understand it as offensive, maybe it's the tone that makes the music;-)

But dabk is absolutely right...let's focus on the main issue!

@ all,

I was travelling on the 25th and 26th, so I am able to join this conversation only now....

@jsd, was not beating about the bush.. I merely stated that there are reasons to believe CLS takes an "all round" view and there is no silver bullet in terms of high grades and extensive work experience....

I trust you get my point now...

@others, ya. even I thought that comment was a bit offensive. However, I did not think it was a racist comment.

That said. I agree with Dabk & MAB79 , switch to the core issue.

I sent an email to CLS, because I have a deadline in 4 weeks, and they answered immediatly that they could not expedite decisions right now.

That's quite a joke, because I have to issue a check from an American bank, and guarantee that I have sufficient fundings. Obviously, I can't do all this in a week... so I would need an answer from them earlier.

I am from India.........my completion email was received on the 28th December.....I had DHLed it on the 4th of December..... (Although that factor has not got nothing to do with whether you receive decision earklier or later than me...the files are random....I looked around this thread and found some applicants who went complete later receive their decisions earlier....I also understand the same off this forum)...
