Subscription pricing
Hey 7Sage!!
I received an email from Columbia expressing my status as "on hold". Apparently, it just means I have to wait a little longer for a decision. Has anyone ever dealt with this? Any tips on things I can do to tip the scale in my favor? They said I could send a LOCI (which I definitely will do), is there a format for this as well? I really hope I get in... Thanks in advance everyone!
Cheers,
Chris

I was held a few weeks ago and submitted a LOCI. I don't think I'd attend, but it can't hurt.

@roystanator440 what were you stats if you don't mind me asking? Curious about the hold pool as well.
3.6/ 163
Hope you get in! And I think a JD from Columbia will leave you in great shape for both Nor Cal and So Cal Big Law if that's what you're interested in.

And to add to the questions, when did you submit your app?
I've been wondering if this cycle has proven to be as abnormal for applicants who submitted "early" in October or if the applicants from Dec/Jan/Feb are the ones mainly feeling what appears to be an increase in holds and waitlists.
Same! I applied a couple days before New Years.
Thank for sharing! Good to know there is still hope in applying later in the cycle!

Thanks. Good luck on columbia. I hope they accept you. Are your goals biglaw?
Yeah, only thing is that I am pretty set on practicing in CA... but Columbia is in my top 3 so I'm going to try to do whatever I can to move the needle.

thank you for sending this over, extremely helpful!

Did they provide a reason for the hold?
Yes... they essentially said that the candidate pool is one of the largest and most qualified, so they need more time to consider my application within the context of this kind of candidate pool. I've read that it's essentially a courtesy email and that it means I simply have to wait longer.
