I know they still accept people without an interview, but for Hamilton/Butler... do they interview all potential candidates?
Edit: (meant to add) and it would be very weird for them to do interviews for some but not others when talking about such a huge sum of money and such a small # of scholarships.

Re: Columbia c/o 2021 Applicants Thread (2017-2018)
I'm an LSAC fee waiver candidate from a low SE status background, and given some of the other topics in the interview It made sense/didn't seem unprofessional at all. By "unprompted" I mean it flowed out of the conversation rather than out of me saying "what's up with your financial aid" or something along those lines.ticket wrote: They mentioned merit scholarships unprompted in your interview?

Re: Columbia c/o 2021 Applicants Thread (2017-2018)
In the CLS 2020 thread, someone reported a friend having gotten a Hamilton without an interview. I think someone earlier in this thread cited to that same anecdote. Seems to be uncommon, but possible.cheeseras wrote:Sorry, see my edit above, I didn't finish my thought -- I think it would be very odd of them to interview only some of the candidates, presumably for that quantity of money it's a pretty essential screen. But I doubt anybody knows for sure unless there's a former Columbia admissions person who works at Spivey or something like that.dollarez wrote: Right. Does that mean no interview = no chance for Hamilton/Butler? I guess so?

Should we expect all emails to come out at once or will they come in waves?

Based on last year's thread, it looks like the first wave of folks didn't include scholarship info, then the next two waves (which were the following days I believe, but not sure how that'll shape up with the delay this year) included scholarships.TheMule wrote:Should we expect all emails to come out at once or will they come in waves?

Congrats to everyone who caught this wave! Maybe now that they've got some earlier applicants out of the way, they can get started looking at the post-December LSAT folks.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
