Harvard 2012 applicants (class of 2015) Forum

[Elendil]

Wait, HLS admissions is closed til Tuesday? Oh man....

(Clearly I have no idea when holidays take place)

According to their academic calendar, classes are still being held on Monday. If classes are being held, I would assume the office is open also. http://www.law.harvard.edu/academics/ca ... index.html

This assumption is false...I have to go to class on Monday, but my workplace (an on campus department) is closed.

Alright, I stand corrected.

Quick, someone call!

[majodm5]

okay officially 5:00pm EST.

gonna try to avoid this thread till Tuesday (happy 3-day weekend everyone!)

Not everyone gets a 3-day weekend. It's kind of a sore spot actually.

Hear hear...but we do get 2 weeks off for Spring Break and a whole week for Thanksgiving to make up for it.

Tuesday seems like a decent turnaround time. Let's get those phones ringing again.

Am I right in assuming u go to Harvard? You still have it nicer than we do. We don't get a three day weekend either... and we only get one week for spring break and the normal Thanksgiving break... You're lucky.

OK submitted 12/5 and u/r 12/12 but I think they were probably holding for my second LSAT score.
I've been complete since 1/5 with absolutely no word at all.

Should I be getting worried?

Does Harvard ever do weekend calls? I know Yale has before

Don't think so, at least they haven't this year - so just relax, try to take your mind off of it for this weekend, and enjoy your JS2 next week.

I went UR about a month ago. Would it be ill advised to send a LOCI or resume update next week?

3.7/170 URM w/ strong softs. Any idea of my chances at this point?

no Loci needed. I went UR more than a month ago and I have pretty good numbers. Don't stress it; I'm pretty sure they are just a little backed up with applications right now.

You might be able to do a resume update if there was a significant accomplishment in the past month or so.

Yea it's great...especially since I wrote my thesis last semester. Best last semester/spring break ever.

I didn't know you guys also had to write a thesis for undergrad? and I'm so envious how did you right your thesis last semester? I wish I'd been able to do that. Enjoy a well deserved last semester/spring break!! Where r you planning to go to law school so far?

Congratz Byzantine! (Belated but I was on a forced vacation from TLS heh)

So am I right in thinking that no February completes have heard anything yet? Because it took a full month between submitting and going complete for me (presumably because I'm an international), I'm starting to run out of fingernails to chew...

Since almost every full-international with good numbers has been held, I'm betting they're waiting until later in the cycle to decide about us. I wouldn't panic if you don't hear anything this month.

[sharktankdean]

does harvard usually change their voicemail when they are closed for a day? cuz i called just to check if they would be open tomorrow...listened to the voicemail and there was nothing about them being closed on monday.

Let's just pretend that they are indeed closed tomorrow so I can sleep through the night and not wake up every 30 minutes with mini panic attacks.

Just curious when people use "full-international" is that excluding Canadians?

They mean internationals with no numerical LSDAS GPA.

So there was a good sized batch of acceptances on President's Day last year I'm going to throw up.

Oh boy. Why oh why did I check this thread before heading to sleep.

Fingers crossed. Good luck guys!
