I didn't either, but I did include a paragraph on Why Harvard in my PS.

I did, I wrote a completely seperate why Harvard essay from my PS. It was 1 page and it was mentioned in my JS1.

I only added my diversity statement. The why harvard seemed a bit unnecessary

I considered it, but I didn't. The advice I got pretty much was "Why X" statements are unnecessary for the T6 and definitely the T3. I don't think it would hurt though (unless if it's poorly written or a really ridiculous reason like you love the bars in Cambridge ).

Although I do hear the bar scene is pretty good. I guess we'll have to test it out

Yeah, I didn't either. Can't imagine it hurting but I think it came through in my dual degree statement and my PS so I thought it was unnecessary.

I think I'll make a new one in the summer time. My old one has so much stuff I don't want on it.

PS Feel free to send me a friend request if you realize it's me. I don't bite lol

JD/PhD in government. Reallyyy looking forward to 6-8 years of school (though I've been out for a few years, so I actually am kinda excited).

Would be shocked if I got into the PhD program at Harvard, so may have to do some weird JD there, PhD somewhere else. When do you hear about the MBA program?
