Glad to hear about the keychain!

On a related note, has anyone not gotten a book yet? Maybe some of those were delayed as well along with those admissions packets? I just received my packet last weekend, but still no book (or keychain :p)

For me, the admissions packet, book, and keychain were all sent in separate mailings (and in that order).

Sweet. I had all but given up hope for a keychain.

I wonder if HLS is watching this thread

Yes.

Source: I do work for HLS.

Thank you/[whoever was responsible and is reading this] for the keychain I am very pleased and am bringing it everywhere. (If you haven't gotten yours, I probably got the package sooner because I live close by, so don't fret!)

Glad you got one, but admissions is def not my area! I just know they sometimes pop in here or to the admissions thread because I've talked to them about TLS before.

What are they trying to glean from that though? Or do they just think it's funny?

In exactly the same boat! I'm also surprisingly excited for this keychain haha

What better way to keep track of confusion and widespread misconceptions than to read about the groupthink in the annual applicants thread on TLS?

So it's to laugh at us. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED, HARVARD?!?

[Oskosh]

Might be foolish of me, but does Harvard require a deposit?

Nope. Or you can do what I did and buy a hoodie that serves the same function (i.e., creates a sunk cost deterring me from committing elsewhere)

No deposit, you just have to fill out the intent to enroll on the admitted students website.

For everyone that has done this already - how long does it usually take to get the confirmation email? Just filled it out this morning.

Also, I got a keychain! I remember some speculation about a design change since I guess the old one had the shield all over it? Now it just has HLS printed on both sides for anyone wondering.

Still no book though, so looks like my shipping order is out of whack from what someone posted here earlier...

Awesome! I had done that already. Just wanted to make sure I took all the steps necessary so that Harvard Law won't rescind my admission.

Super excited!

Just got my aid package and it's basically what I expected - loans. But now I'm just trying to shave down my budget to see how much I can reduce my borrowing. HLS WHY DO I LOVE YOU.

FYI you can cancel loans with no penalty within 120 days of disbursement. I didn't realize this and stressed about it during the summer, only to find out that I could just max out loans to the SFS student budget and then cancel in November based on my own personal projections.

Thanks! I had heard you could kind of 'give back' funding at the end of a semester, but wasn't aware of this option, too.

Oh, wow. This is awesome! Thanks for the information! Lowers my blood pressure more than a little bit.

Just got my keychain. It's sick but people will just think my initials are H.L.S.

So I just officially submitted my intent to enroll. I will for sure be seeing you all there this fall.

*handsomeness of HLS class of '19 intensifies*

[gamerish]

Got my keychain today

[Oskosh]

Should I feel exclusive for getting one of the last key chains with the shield, or left out because of the new ones that are going out?

Cantorb's prediction about us meeting at orientation is actually going to come true! We'll see if you can figure out which one I am.
