I note that someone on another thread (Kay) recently received an offer of admission by email despite having received the infamous second "test" email (and not being admitted with the apparent first round of email offers a week or so ago).

Has anyone actually received a rejection from Harvard by email or letter?

I am by a current llm student that HLS is admitting student in batches per specialisation. hence the notorious test emails, and 'delays' in admission notification.

Really? Interesting. What do you mean by "specialization"? As in the area of law that a person is interested in?

Actually, there are some HLS programmes which you must specify in your application if u r interested in eg financial systems, tax and human rights. my llm contact (current student) tells me that the guys applying for general llm were admitted first (applicants who dint specify any specific course) then those who applied for the above (and other) specific courses are now being admitted, specialisation by specialisation.

hm. i suppose that makes sense.

Finally I received my rejection letter on Friday, 04/07/06.
It is the end of the process.
Good luck to all of you!

deni, can I ask you what country you are from?
or at least the continent? say, Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, etc...thanx...

I applied for the specialization ("Concentration") in International Finance and I was admitted within the supposed "first round", this is three Fridays ago.

I just received my rejection letter from HLS - it's dated April 4, 2006.

Cheers.
