ok Dave, just tell us if it is a joke.
Anyway Congrats!!!!!!!!!!

did they ask you any deadline for your answer?

No deadline in the e-mail, but I don't suppose they expect an answer before the decision on financial aid in mid-April.

can you tell us your background if you want of course...

Congrats David! I wish you the very best of luck.

I was trying to avoid this forum and concentrate on other things during the weekend (mainly international football), but i am afraid that you post got me all pumped up, so it won't be easy.

Once again, i wish you loads of success and i definitely hope to also receive an offer of admission and join you next year.

Until then and for the sake of my sanity, i am returning to football. Come on Ireland! Come on you boys in green!

Dave
Are you sure that one of your enemy is not playing with you? I just called the administration office they told me that no information before Monday...and definitly sending by post mail...

Hi guys,

I totally agree with Julie.
Harvard is not supposed to send any information by email.
Thus, I tend not to believe those who supposedly copy/paste some email...
Anyway, good luck to all and see U on monday.

Julie,
I am sure.
Good luck to you (and everyone else here)!
(And I am sorry if I have ruined your evening (or even your entire weekend). That was certainly not my intention.)

no no you didn't ruin anything and once again congradulations...It is just that it is surprising that they sent email since they never reply to email...

Degree,
Did you friend received anything from HLS by email?

I'm from Japan
As far as I know, friends of mine in Japan havent received an e-mail from HLS.
But someone I dont know might be receiving an e-mail, because there are so many people applying to HLS in Japan.

Thank you for your very impressive application to the Harvard Law School LL.M. class of 2005-06. Our Committee on Graduate Studies has just made its admissions decisions, and I wanted to let you know the good news as soon as possible: you have been admitted to the Harvard LL.M. program for next year!"

You should be receiving our official letter of admission and related materials either late next week or some time in the following week, depending on FedEx delivery schedules.

If you have also applied for financial aid, we will let you know our decision on that application by mid-April. (Since admission decisions are made without reference to financial condition, we are only now beginning to review financial aid applications.)"

In addition to my aforementioned doubts on the alleged e-mail message:
1) I Doubt HLS would employ âvery impressive applicationâ
2) You do not make an application to the âHarvard Law School LL.M. class of 2005-06â Awkward indeed
3) Again on punctuation, it is odd that the parenthesis in the last line is AFTER the period " ⦠financial aid applications.)

ok-I just called again. I am not admitted.
You can call, the lady will give you the answer by phone...

Damian,
If a parenthetical phrase falls within a sentence, the ending period, or other punctuation, should be placed outside the ending parenthesis; however, if the parenthetical phrase follows a complete sentence (after a period), the period for the parenthetical phrase goes inside the ending parenthesis.

Julie,
I am very sorry to hear that!
I hope you are admitted to another LLM program!

I hope so too...
ok can you tell me about your background?

Confirm!!! Dave did not lie. I and my friend also received the email with exactly the same content today. I think the email was relayed to me in the morning of 25 March in MA (I received it about 10 hours ago). FYI, we are in south east asia,

The wait is finally over! Admitted to Harvard. I received the same email than the others!!

Congrats to everybody!!

Hi Guys!

Congratulations to all those who have been admitted to HLS. I intend to apply in 2006. Can some of you guys post your resumes (if its ok with you) so that it help those of us who still have some time to work on our CVs.Congrats again. Cheers!

Congratulations!
