I responded back and said thanks. He responded with a really nice email.

Seriously, Harvard has amazing professors. The idea of taking courses under these guys is making me mentally salivate.

Edit: But it does seem like a few of the emails have been personalized to a fairly large degree, so I do think sending an email back would be fine.

Mine was Jeannie Suk. Also, are you guys replying to any of these emails?
That is so cool. Read her wiki bio! Apparently she was married to Noah Feldman. The idea of getting to spend every waking moment with celebrities is seriously making me wet myself.

Very neat! It's amazing how accomplished the HLS professors are.

Harvard recieved my deposit. Officially enrolled in the class of 2016!

What a long journey the law school application process has been; nice to see that it is done.

I'm about 95% certain I'll be joining you in the fall.

And I've also been really impressed with these emails. I've received nine now, including one from an alum who gave me a few of his favorite bars and places to live in Cambridge.

Yeah, everyone I've talked to so far from HLS has been awesome and really nice, including Dean Soban. Should be interesting to meet everyone at the admitted students weekend.

Which one is everyone thinking about attending? The March one falls at a really bad time for me, so I'll probably go in April.

Still not completely settled, but most likely April. Should be a great time.

I'm going in March. Looking forward to meeting everyone! (even though I have to defer and won't officially be in the Class of 2016)

Pittpanther · Post by **Pittpanther** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 2:23 pm

I'm going in March too. Can't wait to meet everyone. For current undergrads, do you know if we need to send in our transcript for the first semester this year or just our final transcript?

edgeofthenight · Post by **edgeofthenight** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 2:31 pm

After weeks of lurking, I am so honored to be checking in! Still in UG, not married, no kids, probably going in March as April is a horrible month for me!

on the admitted students website it seems to indicate that they just want the final one by mid-June.
Congrats new admits

Checking in... Not sure which ASW I'm going to. Can't wait to get the email tonight and show my family, though.

Edit: No spouse, no children, still in undergrad.

haveahat · Post by **haveahat** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 3:08 pm

Congrats to all the new js2s!

I finally decided on the early march asw so hopefully I will see some of you there!

And since this thread has turned into this: no spouse, no children, still in undergrad

JedBartlett · Post by **JedBartlett** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 4:09 pm

+1!

I remember what a great feeling it was to get that call from JS ... re-living it through you all is a joy. Congrats and hope to meet you in Cambridge.

My wife tells me that my long-awaited binder is at the house -- time to go home.

questcertainty · Post by **questcertainty** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 4:33 pm

Quite unbelievably, checking in! JS2 a little over two hours ago! Can't wait to get to Cambridge.

questcertainty · Post by **questcertainty** » Fri Dec 21, 2012 5:16 pm

Has anybody else who got in today received the email JS mentioned? Also, does the status checker change? Just curious -- would love to show my dad.

Thrilled to be checking in.
(And single/no kids for what it's worth).
