All I know, is that no decision (under regular basis) has been communicated whatsoever.
Wish you all the best!

We currently anticipate that decisions will be available by March 21.
Please check back next week in the event that we are able to release results sooner than that.
Thank you,

Look what they say...to me:
We have not yet completed all of our admissions decisions, but will do so within the next week. We will do our best to get to you your decision as soon as we are able.
We thank you for your patience.

So I think it means no...they give positive answer before the deadline...

I don't want to cause any further anxiety but from what I understand Harvard MAY give out early offers to those awarded substantial scholarships with strict deadlines. I can only go so far because I only personally know of one person in this category, and that person was asked to keep it strictly confidential (for the record, he/she did not volunteer this information to me - I only found out after pressing him/her about their inquiries).
This is perfectly understandable because if people find out that they can get offers early then everyone will start emailing/calling Harvard and things would get out of control. So unless you have made it clear to Harvard that you really have a large scholarship from another university with a strict deadline, don't expect anything more than the standard "we can't tell you at this time" or "we advise you not to give up on your other offers" emails. Most applicants would have multiple offers from universities and it would be unreasonable to expect Harvard to release decisions purely on the basis of other acceptance deadlines.
Whether these emails are "polite rejections" I'm not sure, but if you think about it calmly the answer is likely to be no. First, it is possible that they have not finished reviewing all applications - the 21 March date is set for a reason. Second, it makes sense for Harvard to want to avoid giving out YES/NO answers outright. Again, if people know that they can get their decisions early (regardless of whether it is yes or no), then everyone will start bombarding Harvard with requests and the official release date would be pointless. This is why early decisions are only given to the genuinely desperate cases and are only given on a strictly confidential basis.
So don't despair if you haven't heard anything or got one of the standard emails - 21 March is the day that most people will get their results. And try to ignore people who come out early and say they got an offer, because if they really got an offer they would have promised to keep it confidential - and broadcasting it here means they are either lying of they can't keep their word.
Hope that allays some fears.

Harvard has a large LL.M. program, so even if some applicants were already offered admission doesn't mean that all other applicants should feel discouraged. Besides, to simply state the obvious, nobody can attend more than one LL.M. program at a time. Those going to Harvard will withdraw from other prestigious LL.M. programs - for example, Columbia (and its famous Early Review...). So in the end most people should get a spot somewhere. Finally, let us not forget that some applicants offered admission to Harvard will go to Stanford and Yale... so relax, guys :)
