Columbia Law Class of 2014 Forum

Just got the FinAid offer from CLS in the mail... $25k over the course of 3 years. *sigh* I know I shouldn't complain because it's something but I was really hoping for something a bit more substantial than THAT. Perhaps they meant to say $25k/year.

Maybe NYU will offer something more significant that will draw a bit more out of CLS...

I just wanted to say that with the change in weather I am getting so excited about walking around the Columbia campus in August with all of you!

Yeah, I still haven't gotten my NYU offer when everyone else is talking about deadlines! geez

Is anyone else going to the admitted student event tomorrow?

[mel2010]

Just enrolled online, hooray!

Why does Columbia keep losing the Dean's Cup game? How do you get on the team for that? I would like to play.

note: still haven't withdrawn nyu app and haven't deposited at cls, but likely will soon.

[mel2010]

I'll get on that Dean's Cup action too, if it's doable...depends on how intense it is, looks like a relatively big deal

Looked it up. Seems pretty intense. There are two tryouts and then practice twice a week from feb till the game in mid april. http://blogs.law.columbia.edu/newsyouca ... p-tryouts/

I wonder if I would have to do it on top of 1L stuff...

It was fantastic! Everyone I met was awesome... super excited for next year now. And the free food and booze certainly didn't hurt

[hellome]

So I'm definitely attending Columbia but I don't know why I'm so scared to put down the deposit...
This whole LSAT/application process has made me a very timid individual....

HAHA more like the other terrible place named Stanford.

Congrats to all the new "depositees!" I met a few of you during ASW, but seriously, y'all are gonna love it here.

[LargeHuman]

WoooOOOooooOO! Count me in! I had a great time at yesterday's events, and not only am I certain now that it's Columbia for me, but I feel substantially more excited about approaching school this fall. They even have a housing arrangement for me and my little dog (if you met me yesterday I more than likely talked about my dog...) The choice now is clear.

What classes did you guys sit in on? I went to Burnett's Con Law late in the day and I think I was one of only a half dozen or so admitted students in the room.

Also, did you guys notice the kid who laughed obnoxiously at all of her jokes during the presentation on US territories? I was seated close to him and he was carrying a pocket Constitution.

I chose Securities with Merrit Fox, partly because I wanted to pick a class that I thought few other admitted students would pick. I only noticed one other admit there.

I saw the pocket constitution guy. He was not me - I was over in the right wing of seats and was pretty tired of him by the end of the session. At least ask a question or two if you're so obviously enjoying the material.

Does anyone know about Lenfest Hall? I don't mind the price but does anyone know if it's hard to get for a 1L student? I just figured since most would have an issue with the relatively high price that it might not be as coveted as other housing arrangements.

I don't think it should be that difficult.

Question for others who have deposited: how long was the turnout from depositing to getting some kind of confirmation, and info about creating an e-mail address/etc? I deposited yesterday, wondering when I can expect to hear some news to make it feel more official.

+1.

[camelcrema]

I didn't get any confirmation e-mail or anything, BUT after a few days, when you are in the system, if you go to http://uni.columbia.edu/, you can do a name search for yourself and create a Columbia e-mail account. Then, you'll be able to find yourself in the Columbia directory--go to http://www.columbia.edu, and do a search for your name in the search bar at the top of the page, and you will come up as a law student!

As a once and future Columbia student, +1 this. Get used to researching and handling things on your own.

hi guys! i was admitted about a week ago, and i'm wondering if/when i can expect to hear about financial/merit aid (or lack thereof). if i havent heard anything, is it a terrible idea to email in other offers?
