Thank you for the update, SpaTherapy! Do you happen to know what could be the reasons for the rejections? Any guess?

has anybody received any rejection email from Columbia?


I applied in mid-December and received a very terse rejection via email yesterday (1/30). How gauche.

Hi cporret !

I was admitted in December and first they send you an email. Later on the official letter by mail.

Good luck!

Im still waiting too...I have this bad feeling about it, because they ask for this one year of professionnal experience, like a real professional experience, no internships or anything...as I dont have that...Im afraid Ill be rejected...
Do you all fulfil this requirement of a one year professionnal experience?
Waiting & Waiting ...gosh

I'm still waiting, too. Lucinda: although Columbia web pages seem to depict one-year experience as an almost indespensable requisite, in my opinion they are much more flexible when making their admission decisions. I don't think that qualified applicants are actually turned down to make room for less qualified but experienced lawyers

Let's hope for the best!

Dam is absolutely correct. I really don't know why they even bother listing it as an essential requirement. I was admitted last year and I did not have any professional experience to speak of apart from some internships. If you are what they want they will take you. Nothing is set in stone regarding requirements apart from the fact that you must have a law degree. Hope everything goes well for you.

Lucinda: you can bet I know what you mean. I'm still waiting for 10 answers from American law schools, and I think that at least 2 or 3 will arrive by the end of this month. I shiver every time I open my e-mail account.

Irishguy, thanks for sharing your experience, you right when you say if they really want someone, they take it, professionnal experience or not ... I'll let you know !

Oh and Dam, I saw a post from you about UPenn. ive been admitted there, so if you need any kind of information, please dont hesitate.
For instance, I can tell you that I applied for the Early Admission Review, and had a reply on Dec. 24th by EMAIL, so check out your email box carefully and if you see an email from Adam Kolker : thats it !!!
If there's anything else, youd like to know, let me know !!!
Lucinda.

Actually no: I applied to Georgetown and Duke (both accepted) and all the U.S. News top10 (still waiting), although one of my recommenders is a UCLA LL.M. graduate and she told me it's a wonderful school.

They asked you an additional letter of recommendation from your Dean in addition to the two you already sent?
