Seems like it's a bit different this year. Decisions seem later than usual. Not a lot of rejections reported. Haven't seen anyone report a waitlisting either. Maybe I am being too hopeful?

May be I am a bit too negative about it, but I believe that applicants who got no news are those who are kind of "waitlisted" and whose admissions depend on others' willingness to attend :p.. But still hoping of course

does anyone know how much one can expect to receive in aid? the range at Chicago, for instance, seemed to be up to around $20K

The same.
Status on my app track updated to "request received".

I did not even notice the change in the app tracker status (thank you). When are your deadlines btw? (I have April 1 for Chicago and April 3 for NYU).

March 31 (Michigan) and April 1 (Chicago, Duke), these are the ones I got a scholarship from. I attached the letters from these schools to my e-mail to Columbia, firstly to prove that I have deadlines, but also in hope that they may rase my chances of a scholarship from Columbia :D :D :D (not sure that it can work that way but it does not hurt to try :D )

I also have deadlines for UPenn, NYU and Berkeley around April but I decided against them anyway, so they are not dependant upon Columbia's decision.

I saw that Columbia can be pretty swift with expedited reviews, although they state that they cannot guarantee the decision by these deadlines.

Good luck to you and keep us posted :)

Yes, I was admitted on March 23 and offered 20k against tuition.

I wrote to them for an expedited review on Saturday and supplied supporting materials yesterday - received an offer today!

All the best everyone, trust me when I say they haven't looked at all the applications yet!

Congratulations to all those who have been accepted!

I requested for an expedited decision on Sunday and unfortunately, received a rejection today. In their email, the Admissions Committee praised my academic credentials but asked that I reapply after having gained more law-related work experience (I have been employed with a law firm for almost two years now). Has anyone else who has been rejected or waitlisted so far received the same explanation? Is this the generic response being doled out by the Admissions Committee? Has anyone else received a different reason/explanation?

I know a few people with the same or lesser duration of work experience who have been accepted, and that makes me question the strength of my credentials. I'm wondering if reapplying in a few months would make a difference or if I should directly apply for the 2019-20 LL.M. Any suggestions/input would be highly appreciated!

For those who got accepted (Congrats!), when is the deadline for you to accept the offer?

Got my decision on fin aid last night - 20k waiver, deadline April 3. So they kept their promise:)

Do you know how much the tuition will cost this year?

After anxiously waiting, the last day of March, I received the waitlist from Columbia. Well, I will still wait for Columbia's final decision until it comes.

Congrats to all who get admitted.

My deadline is April 3! (I don't know if it's the same for everyone)

Do you think all those who haven't received any news, are definitively waitlisted or are they still handing out admissions?

I'm still waiting too. I also asked for expedite review a week ago...

Are your deadlines for other colleges around April 01, 2017?

Does anyone receive a waitlist email?

Hi! I've been admitted and I have 5 years of experience. Try to reapply when you have at least 3-5 years of work experience. This may help you! Good luck!!!
