That's what I received:
Dear LLM Applicants:

An email was sent out to you on February 22, 2006 stating that decisions
were going to be made by the 17th of March, 2006. This information is no
longer accurate. We are still in the process of reviewing applications
and decisions will not be made until the last week of March. We
appreciate your patience and understanding.

Decision letters will be sent to you the week of March 27th. You may call
our office for decision results beginning on March 29th.

With thanks,
Graduate Program.

I received the same... They are taking a ridiculous amout of time to decide. Really....

I did not receive it yet...oooops...is it a bad sign? did they already screen some applicants and did not even notice the decision date?
btw...I dont remember they specifically said in their Feb 22 email that decisions will be made by March 17... they were saying that notice will be made in the week of 20-24... now they're saying decisions will not be made until the last week of March and notice will be sent in the week of 27...sounds like we are most likely be hearing from them as late as March 31, and maybe April 1...

all that can be done ... is to extend the waiting period.... welll anybody from india seeing this..do message me...let me get an estimate of how many indians are applyin

Daniel12! Thank you for sharing that email! And good luck to everyone:)

in response to gevurah -- the email i received was the same as the one you recall. specifically, "We currently anticipate that admissions decisions will be announced the week of March 20 March 24 (we do not know the exact day/date however, we will send an e-mail informing you of the date as soon as we are able)."

Hi folks

I just talked to the admission office last two weeks. They planned to send out the admission decision before the spring break, the last week of March. I am not sure whether they can do so because the head of admission office has been sick lately. Anyway, we, the current LL.Ms., already finished preparing the contact info. and the unofficial guide to living in cambridge which will accompany the admission packet. My guess is that the decision might at least be distributed before April.

Best of luck to all of you waiting for the decision! :)

Thanks for your kind information. As you are the current LLM student of HLS, could you please tell us something about the notification of admission by HLS? Would HLS send electronic notices to applicants about admission and rejection while sending regular mails?

Thanks

hi guys,

anyone applied for a financial aid from harvard?
if so do you know if we will have the financial aid decision on the same time cos' I heard the decision regarding financial aid is made after admission decision,
also question for french applicants,
anyone here applied for a fulbright scholarship?
I know at this time your only concern is to know if you are in or not,
best of luck to all of us, Iam sure that tomorrow the admission office will know the name of all admitted applicants cos' the admission letters will be sent out this monday ......
lets' pray

it is my understanding HLS will be sending out decisions on Mon. 27, NOT this monday (20th)...

will be sent out this monday , next monday ,sorry but for me the same

I dont know how the decision will be distributed. Last year we received them by email while those who were rejected got nothing whatsoever.

I think it's rational that they will inform you by email considering that it's the only way they have used to communicate with the applicants this year. It seems to me that telephone notification, as some in this board claimed his friend got, is not practical given the hugh number of admitted students. Phone calling makes sense and is easy for informing of the decisions to small class like YLS or SLS, but not for those admitting much more students such as HLS, CLS, NYU or the likes.

Thanks for the information, Chris.

I think many on here are skeptical about the earlier claim by one poster that their friend had received admission to Harvard by phone. As a wise judge once said, it simply did not have the "ring of truth."

Hi Chris. Thanks again for your kind information. One more questions: based on last year's practice, do you mean HLS will send an admission email to the admitted applicant but will not send a rejection email to a rejected applicant? Thanks.

Do you have the record of or remember the sender's email address? I guess it is not from the address that sends to applicants notices about the defferred decision date...

I just received the following e-mail. I guess HLS is starting their engines to send out decisions via e-mail. Best and good luck to all!

"This e-mail is being sent as a test. Please do not reply to this e-mail
unless you would like us to use a different e-mail address for
correspondence.

anyone else received this email?

anyone else received this email?

I did. Could it have been sent only to those applicants who have been admitted. Or am I getting delusional?
