Well seeing the results of your cycle made me feel a lot better about my WL from UCLA.

Congrats on all the great news!

No one has reported a named scholarship in over a week, which is depressing

Wow thanks for pointing that out. It's quite a hassle to check the spreadsheets often and I assume someone who gets a Hamilton would want to let us all know!

I got that email too. Really hoping it isn't for people not getting merit... Not sure I could justify Columbia at sticker

I just delivered a pizza to a Columbia Law grad out here on the west coast. That's got to be a good omen, right?

Just wasn't sure what you were trying to accomplish by posting that other than to invite people to send you congratulatory messages... in any case, congratulations!

...online boards... tough to get a feel for tone :P

What do you mean?

Over/under is a sports betting term for points scored. You put a number out there, and the people bet on whether there will be more or less (over/under) than the number listed.

By congratulations, he's saying how many acceptances do you think there are gonna be?


I'd put my over/under at 2 honestly haha. Columbia has been slow and I haven't heard a damn thing

Thank you! People mentioned it and I figured I would out myself in case anyone had any questions I might be able to answer :) (And also because I was starting to feel awkward just reading everyone else's posts)

Haha, well post more :) Do you think you'll accept the Hamilton or could a T3 sway you away?

It would be very hard to say no to Columbia now, but maybe for Yale? How about you (and everyone else) - are you set on Columbia?

Yesterday I got a call from a number I didn't recognize in Columbia's area code... Turns out my grandmother has a new phone number. Cruel, cruel world.
