Hi guys,

I have a question regarding admission standards.

I've read the following on CLS website: "Strong preference is given to applicants who have had at least one year of work experience after earning their first law degree."

I'm French, and I have a 18-month experience (2x6 months in law firms, 2 months in an association, 1 month in an arbitral court and 6 months in a legal clinic) posterior to my first law degree (3 years of law school in France). However, this 18-month experience was before I passed the bar and during the completion of my Master's degree (two years of law school in France). So do you think it could be seen as sufficient regarding CLS standards ?

Second question, do you know if - in the case where they're expecting an "association type position" - some people got admitted without having worked 1 or 2 year(s) as an associate in a law firm or an organization after passing the bar in their country / graduating ?

Thank you very much :)

Thanks bluecrown, so even if these are exceptions, I can still hope to get an admission offer :)

Hey guys!

Did anyone receive any form of financial aid already?

To those of you wondering if admission emails are still being sent, I received my admission last night (regular track).

Regarding fiancial aid, my email stated "Regrettably, due to our limited financial resources, we are unable to offer you financial assistance.", so I guess those of you who don't have this statement are under consideration for financial aid.

Good luck!

Hi guys, I just found my application status became 'your application is complete', and under title 'fee', besides application fee there are also deposit 1 and deposit 2. How about your guys? Is it normal? I haven't heared of any decision from Columbia. Still waiting.

Congratulations to all admitted!

For those already admitted to more than one university: when do you expect to make a decision and decline / withdraw the other offers?

Hi jlmarcial,

I have already declined the offer to enroll at Columbia. I was admitted under the early review program.

Hi jlmarcial,

For those who are admitted and have paid the first deposit: have you received your account to the university housing website? I paid sometime in the later days of February but has not received the account information.

Hi, mine had the deposit 1 and 2 option. However, thats gone now. Do you guys still have it?
