Also pretty sure we've all applied/are most likely applying in the near future. No need to stir up fear in people imo, let's let the cards fall where they may.mrsharveyspecter wrote:My post from the SLS 2021 page:spongebob wrote:The fact that you felt the need to post this on like 8 different threads...chill.mrsharveyspecter wrote:https://www.wsj.com/articles/law-school ... 1513333801

tbh if this article is stirring up fear in you, then maybe you shouldn't be lurking on tls (and you should probably reconsider becoming a lawyer)
i apologize for the multiple postings and not following TLS etiquette, but i can't really bring myself to apologize for sharing some relevant news on a notoriously neurotic online forum.

Is it stirring up fear in you given you felt the need to post it on multiple threads?

What makes this comment somewhat funny is that this individual literally got into Harvard.
Congrats btw!

Re: Columbia c/o 2021 Applicants Thread (2017-2018)
Yeah this definitely makes me feel better. As a reach/borderline K-JD applicant whose fall grades they requested, the lack of interview request was getting me paranoid. Hoping to here back the first week of January. If I get in I don't even know if my body has the capability of expressing the level of joy/relief/anxiety I will experience.rideagain wrote:they specifically told me: "there are a lot of people freaking out on blogs and whatnot about not getting an interview, if you have a friend who applied and didn't get one tell them not to worry it's not a bad sign"mwells56 wrote:really hope you're right, friend.rideagain wrote:fyi my interviewer told me interviews are pretty random and not getting one is in no way a bad sign

Random meaning what? A random selection of applicants, likely and unlikely admits?rideagain wrote:fyi my interviewer told me interviews are pretty random and not getting one is in no way a bad sign

Speculation, but I've heard some admits from prior years claim interviews are used for borderline cases and people who they are considering offering scholarship money.subpoenacolada wrote:Random meaning what?

Re: Columbia c/o 2021 Applicants Thread (2017-2018)
Ok, so some reflection on my interview: it went well I think. Was about 35 minutes, which is a good length. Comparing it to my JS1 I feel like 15 minutes for the JS1 was just too damn short, not sure how they can get much out of it. Anyways. Interviewer was very nice, had a good conversation, not a question-answer-question-answer type interview, good back and forth.
Obviously be prepared to answer "why Columbia". I also got a "why NY" which was interesting. Maybe my app just screams homebody idk.
Also, my interviewer did advise that decisions will likely begin late Jan. She strongly implied earlier applicants (fyi she said anyone interviewing at this stage is early) will hear back sooner rather then later.
Any questions about it let me know!

I think a big reason for why NY is because it's very much a love it or hate it type of city and if you hate it, it's gonna be really hard for you.rideagain wrote:Ok, so some reflection on my interview: it went well I think.

Can we get some stats for those who have been requested to interview? How many are you guys, to get a clearer picture?

Re: Columbia c/o 2021 Applicants Thread (2017-2018)
Okay I so deeply object to this, Columbia's neighborhood IS SO BORING. It's just a bunch of older people and there's like no good food and basically no nightlife. That said, it's not exactly hard to commute from Columbia to anywhere else, so, uh, just live in Brooklyn or downtown.andysimbi wrote:The B and C at 116th are a short walk!mwells56 wrote:Only subway that gets up there is the 1 train thoughtmcauliffe96 wrote:+1, it's definitely not for everybody, but Columbia's location is pretty stellartinycatfriend wrote:I think a big reason for why NY is because it's very much a love it or hate it type of city and if you hate it, it's gonna be really hard for you.rideagain wrote:Ok, so some reflection on my interview: it went well I think.

I hope that all the track fires and line outages won’t spike back up, especially since they seemed to affect the uptown trains.andysimbi wrote:The B and C at 116th are a short walk!mwells56 wrote:Only subway that gets up there is the 1 train though
And yes, Morningside Heights is pretty wack. Harlem is great if you gel with the vibe. Otherwise, you have to go to midtown at least.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
