I have received the 1st email but I'm waiting for the email providing that my appliction is complete...I can't wait...
My recommendation letters were sent 10 days after the application deadline (10 december) do you think that this could explain my situation...
tks

Just to let you know that yesterday I received the 2nd mail providing that my application is complete.
Now we will have to wait until March to know about decisions.

Ciao

Would anyone know whether HLS has begun absorbing students for the LL.M program? or Do they announce their results only post March?

Anyone,was your second email along this lines......i received this from HLS;

Any materials that you submit at our request will not be considered 'late'.

We regret that we are unable to accept updated CVs/resumes, revisions to personal statements, or new recommendation letters. [FYI: We welcome new TOEFL scores when available; please be sure to have ETS send us your report as soon as it is available.]

Kobayashimaru, the e-mail I received was exactly the same as the one you posted.

Ciao

Thanks Mikifromitaly

Best wishes to all as we await the results........

i also received the second e-mail as post above lately. what annoyed me is that i presumed that i cannot provide any additional materials to HLS after my application last December, since my original recomendation was not as persuasive as i expect to be. hope the second e-mail meaned something to me...

Is there anyone who hasnt received the second e-mail from Harvard and was admitted last year in to the LLM program?

Everybody who did apply within the deadline should receive the 2nd email.
In addition, I've been told that receiving it has nothing to do with being admitted or rejected it is just a confirmation that your file is complete and ready to be reviewed.
So, it is just a matter of days before you will find the above posted message in your inbox (providing that, as I'm sure of, you have submitted correctly all the application materials).

Thanks so much Miki for your answer,

Im worried because I applied since October, and no 2nd mail yet (a lot of applicants who applied later than me, already received the second e-mail).

I guess I have to wait a little more.

Maybe they have stacked the files in reverse order, which entails that since you applied so early your file is at the bottom of the stack and it will be one of last to be reviewed.
;-)

Damn !!! still no second e-mail !!!! Are many applicants in the same case?????????

I am still in the same position you are!

Dont worry; surely it will come soon!

I'm also in the same position :(

still no second e-mail !!!!

What about you guys?

I got my second e-mail back in December. Good luck to you guys.

Wow.. guys you all have to relax. These are all simply administrative emails sent out automatically as they sort through piles and piles and more piles of applications.

The real fun begins in March. :)

Even I haven't recieved the secound one!!

Hi guys,

I'm at Harvard right now. I just thought I'd second JW's post: nothing that happens right now (1st email, 2nd email, or lack of either) says anything about the liklihood of your success or failure. At this stage no decisions will have been made. And it will be mid to late March before you hear anything.

You have my sympathies - its such an unpleasant process. I thought that posting this message might at least settle your nerves.

Best of luck to everybody!

Thanks for your help.

Hope you are right because there is no way to know whats happening in HLS.

No e-mails, no sign of any kind.

Does HLS send e-mails of admission, or we have to wait for an official letter?
