Well there goes my shot. Hopefully they were talking about GPA median only...proteinshake wrote:from a 1L:

I wouldn't say you lost your shot though!
I wouldn't give that report too much credence.Keilz wrote:I'm at a 169proteinshake wrote:he/she said they specifically asked about LSAT, so it is talking about LSAT, unfortunatelyKeilz wrote:Well there goes my shot. Hopefully they were talking about GPA median only...proteinshake wrote:from a 1L:

I don't have a contradictory one or anything, I just don't put much stock in something like this.
Regardless, don't let your LSAT score discourage you, everyone has a shot.

Yeah, which I got and applied. But, waiting on sending in CLS in assumption of eminent fee waiver?RamTitan wrote: Quite a few people have on these boards

Not at all. I didn't know that was an option, thanks for the heads up!poptart123 wrote:Is it weird that I like to click your avatar, drag it around, and it put it on the shoulders of other avatars?SilverSurfer2020 wrote:+1curry1 wrote:Just went complete!
I'm wondering about this too. The only person I could think of to write me one is a former boss who's running an extremely tough re-election campaign right now, and I really don't want to ask him. Asking my new boss would jeopardize my employment (I think), and he barely knows me. Not sure if these are bad excuses to be honest about though.anrf1225 wrote:I just noticed that Columbia requires a professional LOR if you graduated in 2015 or earlier unless you think your employment might be jeopardized by asking in which case you need to submit an addendum saying that. I definitely don't want to ask my job for a letter. Any thoughts on how long the addendum should be? I'm thinking just a quick, I feel that asking for a LOR would jeopardize my employment blah blah two sentences type thing

Good point. I don't have a particularly compelling colleague to write one, except my current colleague, which presents the same problem as asking my current boss. Thinking I may just write the addendum to go with my academic references, and if they really don't like it, I won't be too heartbroken.RamTitan wrote:What about a colleague?
