Harvard Online Application


rosie2704

Hey guys,

The application for 2015 is now open :) I have started to complete the online application form, and was wondering if anyone knows what text format Harvard prefers for completing the text boxes such as ''academic honors'', ''professionnal experience'' and so on... I feel like point form would be more structured and easier to read, but full sentences are more formal and maybe they prefer that...?

Also, what to answer to the question ''Do you have sufficient funds to cover your travel, tuition, and living expenses at the Harvard Law School?'' if I am asking for financial aid, both from Harvard and from external sources? I feel like there is only one right answer to this question... In theory, I would be able to get by on loans, so technically I would have ''sufficient funds'', but I wonder if by checking yes, they will think that I don't really need financial aid (which I do)... This is a tricky one haha!

Any tips?
Thanks :)
Any ideas?

I am wondering the exact same thing regarding the Sufficient funds question?

Hi guys!

I was wondering if you can share your credentials here as well. I am thinking of applying to HLS but I'm not sure if my credentials are good enough though: Supreme Court law clerk for 10 months, 2 publications in law journal, part-time professor, top 6% of batch

Hi!

Can someone please clarify whether 2 LORs for HLS should be okay (that's the minimum) - or will it be disadvantageous, given that HLS recognises, and is infact correct, that almost all applicants submit 3!

Anyone particularly with personal experience on this one?

Thanks.
