I know that it probably won't happen until mid to late March, but I thought I would start this thread so everyone can share...and who knows, the unexpected could happen and we could hear earlier...as Yale, Stanford, and Columbia are starting to release decisions!

how does the whole notification thing work anyway? does anyone know? Is it that they simultaneously release decisions to all applicants or do they do it by the day? I'm going to go bald soon from the tension of all this waiting.. would be grateful for any light that could be shed on this..

I am also waiting for HLS.

By the way I have read the german wikipedia about Harvard university. It is quoted that Harvard spend 3.3 Billion $ every year (fees only count for 20% of income). This is really crazy and more than Austrian's whole budget for all universities (!).

They even have 200 ppl managing the budget.

What is the expected date of admission decesions? 21 march?

I think that is the date most of us are thinking! It would be nice if we hear sooner.

It seems that the longer NYU takes to release its decissions and the sooner HLS does its part, the more chances we'll have to decide without the "scholarship extorsion".

I agree. Probably NYU is recognizing the error of their ways! :)
OR probably they have already announced scholarship decisions and we were not included. :(

For NYU I don't think ANYONE has actually gotten admission (at least with scholarship) to any of the LLM programs (apart from NYU@NUS and LLM taxation).

Harvard sends its decisions via email on the same day to everyone! The email contains the info of a web page were you can see if you are in or not... Spring B. in Harvard is from the 14-18 of March, so the results will be sent afterwards for sure. Probably the 21 or within such week.

Good luck to everyone!

Omg...the waiting is killing me! I applied back in late October, the time just keeps dragging on! the closer it gets to mid/late March the more nervous I am getting!!

I really don't think I'm getting in, but I would just like the waiting to be over and to be rejected asap!! haha xx

Erm well final year LLM student in the UK (3rd best law school...which im hoping helps :P ), average grades, a few extra curriculars, mostly law based, also first in my family to go to uni which ive seriously played up!! haha

i just figured...theres no way I'll get in if I don't apply! And a friend graduated HLS last year and said people get in for all sorts of reasons so thought I'd go for a punt!

lucy are you going for a second llm then? presumably your current llm is at the lse? good luck with your application!

Oh duh im a dumb arse...i meant LLB! im obviously too busy thinking about LLMs...lets hope I proof read my Harvard app better than that!

and no...Queen Mary..officially better than LSE (if you read the guardians listings) x

and thank you for the luck! you too if you are applying for anything :)

I'd say that being the first on your family to go to uni really plays a relevant role on the admissions comitte decision...they like 'winners'. In the other hand, the fact that you already hold an LLM degree might play against you...I think they're more inclined to offer the opportunity for those who didn't have it. Publications? I think HLS weights that as well. Anyway, good lick to you!!!

Hey guys. Its realy nice to know ur not alone. I applied to Harvard too. A re-applicant, and am afraid if re-applicants ever get accepted. I applied last year but had my transcript deliverd just days to releas of admission decisions, so I lost out, expectedly. Someone tells me re-applications hardly ever succeed anywhere. Is that true. I have double firstclass, University, 4.63, and Law School. Already admitted to NYU and Penn Law, with $23,420 and $27,500 scholarships respectivly. But am interested in Harvard. Also applied to Oxford and ths two are my best options. What say u my friends???
