When did you ask for expedited consideration? What was their disposition when you inquired? Also, was the response you were given "mid" March or "late" March?

See their response. Request made in Jan. 2010:

Dear XXX,
We are writing in response to your e-mail requesting information on the status of your LL.M. application. We understand that you have received an offer of admission from the University of Oxford.
Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to comply with a request for an early decision of your application for admission. We are still in the early stages of our application review process. Harvard Law School has a very rigorous admissions process requiring that each successful application be approved only after a careful evaluation process by a committee of experienced staff and faculty. Our admission decisions are generally made by late March. Therefore, we would suggest that you ask for an extension from Oxford. Most top U.S. law schools and international schools will usually grant such requests in order to help you make an informed decision.
Kind regards,
Graduate Admissions Committee
And I requested an extension from Oxford and it was granted last week (until May 31, 2010).

Thank you for posting, this is helpful. Interestingly, your request was made, as you say, in January and this response was February 10. So, as of February 10, they were unwilling to expedite. That's probably reasonable. I wonder if a similar determination would be made with a request at this time.

I think requesting them to expedite at the end of February/beginning of March is not the same thing as requesting in January.
I understand that they will let you know if they've already made a decision. I guess they might have made a majority of decisions by now. No harm in calling them up!

as far as I know they rarely expedite their decision process unless your are extremely promising candidate...
So don't expect a decision from them until the last day of March.

Last year, decisions were issued the week of March 16, if I remember correctly, not on the last day of March.

Hello everyone !
Do you really think Harvard is gonna issue decisions this week? From what I´ve heard that´s more likely to happen around mid-march / late-march. Even though I would LOVE to hear from them & NYU this week.
Anyway, I believe at the end it's just a matter of fate. :)

As much as I, along with everyone else, would love for decisions to be issued sooner rather than later, I suspect that decisions will be issued, at the earliest, the week of March 15. However, since March 15-19 is spring break, it is likely that the admissions office may not issue decisions during that period. (Last year, decisions were apparently issued around March 15, which, if I remember correctly, was the week after spring break.) I suspect, then, that we will begin hearing three weeks from today, on or about March 22, which is one week after spring break.
