@dchatur
You applied twice in 3 years!? Mind sharing what made you reapply? chances of acceptance are low after a recent rejection.

In 2011 while I was in the final year of college, I applied to Harvard, Oxford, Berkeley, LSE,Cambridge and Columbia for the academic year 2012-2013.
I was accepted in all barring Harvard and Columbia. I deferred all the offers thinking one day I'll make it to Harvard. I chose to work at the National Parliament of India instead as a Legislative Aide to Member of Parliament for one year and for the past one year I have been training the civil servants of India in various procedural and substantive laws. I wonder now, with two years of work-experience and after being rejected by Harvard once in 2012, do I now stand a chance at Harvard.
I did not apply anywhere else this year. I chose to apply only to Yale, Harvard, Oxford and Cambridge. I wonder, what if I get rejected by all of them this time! :(

anybody know when in March the admission decisions are sent? I remember reading somewhere that it's likely going to be the third Monday of March.

By any chance, do you know if Harvard considers internship as work experience?

@ imnc
Yes, I received admission offers from (1) Oxford (2) Cambridge (3) LSE and (4) Berkeley.
All of them granted me deferral for one year in 2012, in order to take up the offer in 2013.

Thanks @jsd!
Unfortunately there were two reasons for declining the offers. I got an opportunity to work for the National Parliament of India in 2012 and for the civil servants of India in 2013 and 2014. Hence, I decided to work and re-apply to Harvard after 3 years of work ex, with a hope that my CV will become stronger.
Furthermore, I did not want to do two LLMs for constraint of money and time both. But yes, now I am really scared what if even Oxford rejects me this time!

good luck nidhi025! I don't think you have cause for worry about not making it to oxford, because if they'd take you without work experience, i should think they'd like to grant you admission when you've got work experience..at least as far as I understand it.
what's your area of experience?
Posted Jan 27, 2015 06:32
Hello suzie1588.
My area of experience has been law and policy making process in India with the Parliamentarians and bureacrats/diplomats. More focused on Competition Law.

any guesses on when in March we find out?
Posted Jan 28, 2015 16:37
I think March 16.
Posted Feb 02, 2015 15:33
I checked last year's forum and it turns out that decision emails started to arrive on March 19 evening.

Could you please share your background?
I dont believe I have great chances at Harvard, but I applied anyway..let's see!
Posted Feb 04, 2015 14:24
hey guys, I wanted to know what the odds are of getting into Harvard with below average grades (bottom 50%) but with decent work experience involving a superior court clerkship, law firm, and reasonably good co-curriculars.
