Dear fellows I wish you luck to all of you, God´s Willing, looking forward to meet you in person at Harvard Law School LLM after our admission!
I am eager to know people as me in the class, to improve our world through law!
I was wondering, whether the Harvard´s LLM admission committee would consider beneficial from an applicant the following facts:
-To be a winner of university, national and regional international research contests.
- Start lecturing (law teaching) shortly after graduation.
- Getting a LLB GPA of 10.00/10.00 (My country's grading scale?)
- Pro bono experience.
BUT do not fulfilling a toefl subscore.
what do you think?
I'm in a similar situation. I got a 23 in the writing subsection, but got 28-30 in the rest of the subsections. Likewise, I, too, have won research contests, have three publications, graduated with honors, was in the top 10% of my class, won an International MOOT and national debate contest, and have three years of work experience in the Constitutional Tribunal of my country. To be honest, I'm not worried about not fulfilling the toefl subscore, because the instructions clearly state that if you don't comply with the required score you can be in a less convenient position in comparison with the rest of the applicants; nevertheless, this kind of processes hold a holistic view, so if you have a strong application, which I believe you do, you still have a chance to get admitted.
