Harvard C/O 2019 Forum

[crescentstars]

For any ASW-goers: I'm really curious to know what's going on with Belinda Hall and everything surrounding it. Anyone mind posting about it if you heard anything? Or if it's too sensitive, mind PMing me your thoughts? I'll be at the second ASW, but I'm curious to know what I should look out for!

^^Also, I didn't even go this weekend, but all these posts are already giving me major HLS hype. And based on the pic, I think I met at least one of you at Columbia last week hahaha.

They mentioned Belinda Hall and the removal of the Royall shield during the official admissions tours. Other than that, they were extremely vague in referencing the movement or discussion that accompanies it. Students involved with Reclaim HLS started posting flyers all over campus on Friday morning during programming but other than that, and their physical presence in Belinda Hall, it wasn't a focal point of ASW.

If you're interested in reading Reclaim Harvard Law's materials, here is their website https://reclaimharvardlaw.wordpress.com/

Hmm, it seems like Harvard took the opposite approach as Berkeley did regarding large issues at the law school. I guess I'm not too surprised that much discussion wasn't incorporated into the weekend, but I expected that students would have mentioned it a bit more. But thanks for the update + the link!

Wow, that's a pretty impressive guess! Just need to switch 2 people in the top row - try again?

Seriously? If so then obviously switch gamerish and earth. I got fooled by 2nd-from-left's look mirroring gamerish's winking Brando 'tar.

Correct!!! You're good at this, we're all impressed Care to reveal the process of how you guessed everyone?? Super curious how you got lawstud right and also knew that "obviously" the switch would be gamerish and earth!

We all want to know how you were able to figure it out so easily???

In fairness to your sleuthing abilities, I do generally walk around smirking at all passerby.

Do we expect that last week's admits will get their financial aid info before the May 1st commitment deadline?

Also, am I missing something or is there no required tuition deposit?

As long as you submit by April 15th, you should hear. Best way to ensure that happens is to make sure FAFSA is already filled out and submitted to HLS and (if applicable) your parents are ready to submit to HLS their 2015 tax returns.

No tuition deposit is required.

Has anyone admitted last week received the financial aid application email yet? I'm still waiting on it...Last email I received was two days ago to set up my Harvard PIN.

Nope. Hopefully this week!

I haven't received anything either.

eta: Has anyone admitted last week gotten mail from Harvard yet? Do we get any cool swag (e.g., a t shirt)?

I haven't received anything yet (not sure about today's mail though), and I'm just a couple states away from MA.

You'll get an HLS keychain with your acceptance packet (took about a little more than a week to get to me in NYC) and in a month or so you will get a book by a faculty member.

As a heads up, I was accepted in March and there was no keychain in my packet. Still super bummed about that.

I think they discontinued the keychain with the change of the Royall shield (it was all over the thing). I received one in Feb but the administration officially asked for it to be changed in early March. All of the swag we received at ASW was very intentionally without the shield, just "Harvard Law School" in a plain box.

Ah, I was hoping for some apparel, but a book is pretty cool (assuming it's a law-related book?). I guess, I'll have to buy my own shirt when I visit.

ETA: Have they decided on a new shield yet? I see online that they're retiring the old one, but I don't see a replacement.

Those keychains are collector's items.

Yeah, they send you a book related to your expressed field of interest, written by an HLS faculty member and signed/with a note from them!

And rumor has it they might announce a new shield in 2017 as that is the bicentennial of the law school?

Cool, thanks.

Also, if I want to buy an HLS t shirt without actually traveling to Cambridge, is this site the most "official" place to do that? http://www.thecoop.com

I feel like there should be a T-shirt that says like "Harvard Law (For Real)" or "Harvard Law (No Joke)."
