Just wondering how much truth is in what one hears about US universities that not few get admitted basically because they know somebody within the uni, their parents donate money regularly or they just happen to know sombody that knows sombody...

Are these exceptional cases or is this ultimately part of the deal? Have you heard of anybody personally who has got in this way or at least tried it?

Cleary Gottlieb is one of the most generous sponsors of Harvard Law School.

Each year or so, Harvard Law School admits one associate from the Paris office of Cleary Gottlieb in its LLM Program.

Of course, it’s just a coincidence…!!!

The best applicants always come from Cleary Gottlieb. That’s all.
