Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays, if not my favorite. If you dressed up for Halloween as a kid, what did you dress up as and why? When did you stop trick-or-treating?

From the 3rd-5th grades, I was Peter Pan, Robin Hood, and then a pirate, respectively. I've always been a swashbuckler at heart. I stopped trick or treating at 14. How about you?

Haha, pirates! Yarrr. I generally dressed up as a witch, except once I accidentally dressed up as a bride because I thought it was a princess costume

Is that a thing? I kind of figure it was one off those schools where everyone knows it's a top choice. Do you have a compelling 'Why?'

Harvard is actually not the school I'm thrilled to apply to. Not to say that I wouldn't count myself exceptionally lucky to actually get in, but I'm not crazy about the class size, the cold, and the probable gunners.

According to TLS knowledge it's not a thing, but there are some very specific programs that relate to the work I'm doing now that I could only find in my law school research at Harvard.

Well that is kind of compelling. You officially have my blessing for a "Why Harvard."

you could tailor the ps you send to harvard to specifically address those things

No offense taken, haha. I comfort myself with the knowledge that the app doesn't open til late, so there will be this magical rush of people when Oct 1st comes. A girl can dream, right?

Out of curiosity, why the singular focus on HLS?

I really miss Boston and would like to go back there. It's one of my favorite cities. Harvard also has the most clinics that focus specifically on an area of law that I am particularly interested in. And some of these clinics are kinds that I haven't been able to find at any of the other T14. They also are one of the few schools that has maintained a 50/50 male to female ratio and they have one of the most diverse student bodies of the T14.

Tldr; my heart bleeds for HLS.

If only you had OPed the Harvard thread. Then you'd be a shoo-in.

It's been said before, but OPing a thread is considered a strong soft in this cycle.

almost as good as an LOR from the president.
