got a standard email...unprecedented number of applications.....we cant make a decision unless comparision with general pool is sought. will let you know by march 1.

in other words, "it doesnt matter if you applied for the early review. we cant make up our minds and we are gonna frustrate you for some more time"....

So Orwellian.....
(sigh)

I received admission by e-mail today, but therez no info on financial aid - did any of you get aid? Also was there any mention of the wharton prog in case you applied for it... thanx

I am in as well! But no information about financial aid either..It is going to be a very hard choice now...Congratulations to everybody who made it!

Taking cross-disciplinary courses brings you a different perspective, especially if you're interested in the business world, and the brand Wharton is very strong (number 1 on the Financial Times for at least 3 years, above Harvard and all).

So it is really which field of interest you are interested in. If you're more into human rights for example, cross disciplinary studies won't be very helpful to you.


wharton prog admissions and financial aid decisions are made after admissions if I remember properly.

Im in as well. Glory to God. I submitted my online application on January 29 and my final documentaion on February 1st, that is, the final day of application But i got my acceptance yesterday, 08/02. Mine is a special case of God's favour. Thanks 2 Jehovah. Cant wait to get it started.

Yueping: Wharton's reputation as a business school is well established, of course. However, how do you use this reputation to make your Penn Law resume particularly eye-catching? Again, I'm interested in this very specific detail, and do wonder if I should have cross-registered myself. I'm not even sure how you'd draw a lot of attention to cross-registration in the resume.

HLS doesn't. Precisely, I'd like to know if the certificate has a big impact, or if cross-registration might be a bigger plus in Penn Law (from the employer perspective, specifically).

Again, it's just that I've been told it offers no particular benefit from the employer perspective (the benefit to the student is obvious, and you might meet a future CEO, too). If anything, the particular certificate or concentration that gets attention seems to be Tax, considering Cravath of all places called HLS last week to ask for LLM resumes reflecting strong tax backgrounds. Other than this, I've seen language skills and licenses in particular countries receive attention.

Incidentally, someone told me that the most telling sign of the market strength this year is Cravath asking for LLM resumes, which is unheard of.

Sigh. I don't think you understand the question.

However, regarding Cravath, do you mean LLM students? If so, do you mean LLMs in general or European or commonwealth country LLMs?

I am waiting decision from Penn Law to LLM2007, has anyone received decision from them?
