Top Law Schools

Hello, and welcome to the Harvard Waitlist 2017 thread!
Some of you have already been waiting many months, so I'm sorry if your presence here means even more waiting. I definitely sympathize.

thanks draw!

So is it standard to send a LOCI post-waitlist? How long should one wait before sending that?

How many of us are K-JDs? Spivey said that not having WE would be a much greater detriment this cycle and I can definitely see his point.

personally have ~3 years of W/E, but i'm sure there are a number of KJDs who will be joining us ITT

Definitely seems to me like being a K-JD has been more of a detriment at HLS this cycle. A current HLS student attended an event in which Dean Minow stated that they are trying to accept fewer applicants straight out of university, and the fact that they started the 2 year deferral program for Harvard undergrads is consistent with a focus on WE.

Checking in! GPA<25 LSAT>50

Checking in. Let's do this, y'all.
