I had known I'm in for a while now, though, as I had a deadline at CLS, which is why Harvard told me I was admitted on March 7.

Admitted too, but after some hard thinking I will decline HLS`s offer and I will be attending Chicago.
Best regards to you all!

My mates, the end is here
And so I face the final decision
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've had an education that's full
I 've trawled through volmes of case-laws and case-books
And more, much more than this, I read them my way

Regrets, I'll have for a few days if HLS says NO
But then again, I'll get over it
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each LL.M application, each careful step along each question for YLS application
And more, much more than this, I did it my way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew by applying to be one of 25 at YLS
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried on the LL.M board
I've had my fill, my share of losing arguments on this board
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think that I had the guts to believe I will get into YLS
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"

For what is a lawyer, what has he got?
If not a law degree, then he has naught
To think he's nothing without a YLS or HLS LL.M would be sad indictment of his life
The record shows I tried to measure up with the elites and did it my way!

Yes, it was my way

This is brilliant!

I'd say those who did not get the HLS e-mail sent 2 hours ago need not despair, as, apparently, because of the people dropping out, HLS admits people as late as May even withou putting them up officially on the mailing list.

Oops..perhaps that shud read..best wishes, LOL:) no assumptions as to gender you see..am suitably chastised:P

goodnight...ladies and gentlemen:) lol, catch u in the morn, when the fog is largely cleared and the nerves are calmer:D

dammit. i paid my US$500 for CLS early admission by 15 March. I thought harvard made no exceptions to telling pple early that they were admitted. I have found the harvard ppl the most inefficient and snobby.

Sour grapes!

no have not heard anything yet. once I am rejected, then yes sour grapes!!! regardless, they really should get with web based applications system

no mail yesterday - end of the road as far as HLS goes (maybe?).. but what the heck NY and CLS here I come!

checked my email several times....still nothing
My hope is gone.
Last night I was up until the wee hours trying to figure out what I could of done different. Maybe my personal statement was to much about me, maybe I asked the wrong people for letters of recommendation.
Well, nothing I can do now, it is what it is

I am happy for everyone that got in, it is a life changing experience! Good luck to everyone!

r u guys in the US? if so, it might also explain the delay..maybe they want to dispose of the "overseas" fellows first?

Well, it sure was a teardrop on the cheek of time... but come now I am sure it'll happen again for you or maybe something even better. Best of luck my man... and kudos to all those who made it - u guys surely deserved it.

I am an overseas fella myself - I had to bear the agony in the wee hrs of the morning - ouch! cant stay up @ my work station now & my boss keeps looking out of his cabin -- double whammy

I've just called Harvard as well and my application has been denied. It's a little disappointing, but at least I'm not anxious anymore.
Congratulations for those of you who have been accepted!
