Harvard C/O 2019 Applicants Forum

[sanibella]

I'll probably still change the poll the next time JS2s go out, so in the mean time feel free to suggest other poll ideas.

Which TLSer are you most interested in meeting in real life/law school? Can't be just a list of names though, you need to give a real reason for each person (and I better be one of the choices ).

How can your name be cantor with your obvious disdain for singing?

I can tell you but then I'd have to kill you.

That could prove quite difficult, as you don't know who I am, but I admire your confidence.

I'm sure this has already been posted somewhere here but just in case anyone missed it, this is the most recent Cycle Data from Spivey, dated as of 1/29/16. Looks like some significant increases at the very top of LSAT scorers, which may explain why HLS is delaying their JS2 waves.

On a scale of 1-10, how crimson is your blood?

10 - I was born with "Fair Harvard" playing in the background.
9 - My parents, my grandparents, and my great-grandparents all went to HLS. That's right, everyone on both sides of my family.
8 - I could walk to J.P. Licks from any spot in Cambridge, blindfolded.
7 - I know the stats of every Pilgrims game for the last 3 years, and I'm not even from Boston.
6 - I wore a crimson blazer for my JS1. My socks and underwear were also crimson, just in case. I just want Harvard to love me!!!
5 - I can quote lines from any Harvard-related movie. Yes, there is more than just one, and you know which one you were thinking about...
4 - I've visited the campus a few times. It's cooler than New Haven or Palo Alto anyways.
3 - I like Harvard exactly in proportion to their need-based grant award. I know there's some secret merit award too, just waiting on the call.
2 - Eh, Harvard would be alright, if I can stomach the future students. Have you even read the rest of this thread? Oh boy.
1 - I only applied to Harvard so I could turn them down out of spite.
0 - The hell's a "Harvard"?

Play around with it a bit, I don't pretend to be a comedic genius, and my sense of proportionality is probably a bit out of whack (there's probably, for example, more than one level of Harvard love in between "better than YLS/SLS" and "I wore crimson underwear to my JS1"). Also, Hilde, I will be very disappointed if you don't replace at least one option with something allowing you to heap you with praise for the wonderful job you've done running this thread. I for one like the musical poll, mainly because I intend to hold each and every person here accountable for showing up to a TLS Musical club during our 1Ls.*



*Disclaimer: I am actually very under-educated on musicals and plays, and would very much appreciate if someone else would take on the mantle of organizing everything. If you put me in charge, we'll end up at some shoddy production of "Macbeth, in SPACE!" You have been warned.

[AshburtonGrove]

Not hugely into musicals, but I thoroughly enjoyed "Once". And according to wikipedia, it premiered at a theatre in Cambridge, so obviously this is the HLS musical of choice.

Oh Bear you're being too sweet to me especially since I was cranky earlier today Also I like the idea of this poll! I can only put 10 options total so a few will have to be cut and I may take some creative licensing with the wording but they are great! Let's just hope we get some JS2s soon so we have a reason to celebrate.

I just had my interview on the 29th, so I'm not expecting anything for a while, but I'll be cheering for the rest of you all! Next week is the gunna be a good one!

Lol, with your stats I don't think they will need that much time to put you in the JS2 pile

[r1r2r8]

Joining the waiters' party. Complete 11/20, still no JS1. Also in at CCN, which gave me some hope for Harvard!

Same here. When do we give up hope?

[schocolate]

Yaay poll! Thank you!

I think having a poll about best things in Boston/what we're most excited about could also be fun.

Also is everyone ready for the massive JS2 wave tomorrow where everyone ITT will be accepted?

though Hilde's link is killing my hope for myself

Haha, I'm feeling confident that I will go all the way to JS2 from "application received" tomorrow.

That's the spirit!

[thetravelinglawyer]

I'm not even applying to Harvard but somehow I got hooked on checking this thread and now I am obsessively refreshing it in the hopes of seeing all of you get your JS2s (especially Hilde). Cheering y'all on from afar!

[Hildegard15]

I have been missing Boston terribly lately so this would allow me to channel all my feelings of longing in a productive way.

I've been channeling my feelings with an hour of cardio every day!

The elliptical is a godsend for getting rid of nervous energy!

[tflan19]

Boston public schools are closed tomorrow due to snowstorms... commence frantic checking of HLS Admissions twitter for their status.

Do any of y'all play League of Legends?

My roommate plays a bunch and after watching him play a lot I have started to play some

Nice! I'll pm you my user name and we should play together sometime!

Since I move around a lot it's the easiest way for me to stay in touch with my friends!

We could start a Harvard Law league team!
"Attorneys at LoL"

[SD619]

Only on a Harvard thread are people posting about league of legends in the middle of the Super Bowl.

It was tough for me to decide who I wanted to win. I have always loved Peyton Manning, but I have lived in North Carolina for the past three years. In the end I'm glad the Sheriff came out on top; now he can go collect a massive check from Budweiser

Anyone without a JS2 willing to change their avatar to Peyton? The pats fans in the admissions office prob wouldn't care......

[Li'l Sebastian]

So there's no doubt in anyone's mind that decisions are coming this week right?

Two things:
1.) As a Niners fan, it became basketball season awhile ago. The only concern about the Super Bowl is how the disappointment is going to affect Steph.

2.) No Book of Mormon, seriously?
