Im applying for the Harvard LLM programme and had registered for the LSAC.

LSAC categorized my academic records as "superior" which I think is a pretty good deal for me. The thing is I have also sent them my TOEFL scores.

I got a 110 total, with full marks in reading and writing section. Unfortunately my score in speaking was 24 compared with the cut off of 25 Harvard requires. While I am quite tempted to send the LSAC scores, I am still confused whether the TOEFL scores would create a problem.

I think I can get a waiver, considering my background. Some advise would be great!

hi everibody! hei nemo, could you please share with us something about your credentials? just to have an idea of people admitted in the program...thanks in advance

I have a Bachelor at Law degree from one of the top 5 Universities in my country, graduated top 5% in my class, was a teaching assistant for most of my undergraduate course, founded my Law School's Law Review and edited it for 2 years, did 2 research projects (wrote papers, presented them at congresses and was invited to give a lecture on one of them at another university), published an article, was elected class representative for the student council, did voluntary work, had overseas experience (summer course), have knowledge of 5 foreign languages (varied levels of proficiency at each), did various internships, have 2 years work experience now.

just...wowwww!!!where are you from? european country?

Brazil!

I'm from Panama and also applying to the HLS LLM program. I have similar credentials to yours, LSAC rated my transcripts as superior, and I have been working throughout my Law degree. I have also published 2 artlcles and 1 book (which Harvard actually has in its library), and also participated in an abroad program. My current job is at the Judiciary Branch, so the work experience has been great.

I am worried, though, that I am a little young to be considered for the program, as I am only 22 years old and will graduate as a lawyer in the upcoming weeks.

The thing is...I really don't have a clue as to what to expect.

you should expect to be admitted in all likelyhood!!!

Are you also applying? The waiting game is pretty exhausting!

This year I'm applying to Oxbridge programmes, but some day I will also apply to Harvard and other u.s. law schools' llms..
