Harvard c/o 2016 Applicants (2012-2013) Forum

Patience good sir or madam patience.

Alright, perhaps a silly question. Late January applicant, went complete mid-to-late February, since then, nothing. Above 25% GPA, median LSAT, 2+ years public sector experience, etc., etc.

At this point, would it be in my interest to send an LOCI, or is that something reserved for after action on their part?

I've been admitted at CCN, so I'm not going full-on insane, but HLS looms large...

Just not really sure it will help. Id expect to hear something, including a hold, by cob friday.

Has anyone been WL yet? I see on LSN that someone's status is WL but they may have meant held.

After looking through every single person in the Harvard FB group. Ain't no way undergrad doesn't matter. That TLSism isn't true for the very top at least.

HYS definitely cares.

Word. I counted the number of HYPS grads who RSVPed to the March ASW. There were 73, or 28% of the lot. Gotta love them feeder schools....

Seems like half were from the ivies in the facebook group. Half were certainly from the ivies, mit, georgetown, cal, Stan, ucla, usc, duke, etc.

The TLS cw "undergrad doesn't matter" is actually "undergrad doesn't matter except for HYs" but people often leave out the latter half.

Sad thought for us public school children and not the elite public schools either

I still contend that it also matters for CC but yeah, I'm glad people are finally agreeing with me that it does matter at the very top.

+1

my undergrad pre-law advisor told me senior yr that stanford & columbia, among other potential schools, add +0.1 to GPAs from my college when they compare to some others. I think thats a myth (not that it would be enough to get me in anyway), but it illustrates a point

I think it's a different kind of strength, outside of LSAT and GPA.

No-name public school REPRESENT! You still have a chance, guys. Party's not over yet.

My no-name public school fits perfectly into my application narrative. So I'm all about it. (Plus I went for free )

dead @ machine-ing.
very accurate.

Point is, there's hope for the public school proles at HLS.

At least people have heard of your school.

And this still doesn't help me

Or... HLS is below median for National Championships this cycle?

Congratulations, Tekumamba. Also, Sabanist (and others), I'm from a mid-tier public school. We send 8-10 kids to HLS each year. Undergrad doesn't seem to matter as much for HLS. But for CLS, SLS, and YLS, it's a different story. Very few from my school are lucky enough to be admitted there.

fair point. and sorry

8-10? Impressive. I'm the only one I know of, and one of my LOR professors said she'd never heard of someone going to HLS from here. One of my bros is held, though.
I think my UG is a big part of the reason I haven't heard from YLS yet (and will probably get bad news).

8-10 is "very few"?

Nobody from my undergrad has gotten into HLS since like 1980.
