It is true that lots of US law schools have so-called "regional/country" quotas. However, such quotas system do not mean that only one person from a particular school would be admitted. Harvard sometime admits several students from a single top school in one county.Sun Mar 16, 2008 04:06 AM Good luck to everyone! |

As far as I know, it is true. Whether they are fixed quotas or just rough percentages I do not know.Sun Mar 16, 2008 11:51 AM am2008 |

Sun Mar 16, 2008 02:46 PM Could you let us know where such stats of previous years can be found? Thanks. Sure, if you look at 2006 2007 HLS admission threads you will find exact number per/country. I have seen several of those. |

Thanks for the posts, everybody. I guess the rumor that HLS accepts only one student per university is definitely false then. Sun Mar 16, 2008 03:52 PM Let's keep our fingers crossed, as this week is THE week! |

I have a feeling that Harvard will release admissions before March 21.Mon Mar 17, 2008 01:10 AM In previous years, decisions were made before that date. |

I just received this.................I am in...........Mon Mar 17, 2008 02:46 PM On behalf of Harvard Law School's Committee on Graduate Studies, I am delighted to inform you that you have been admitted to our LL.M. Class of 2009. Congratulations! I am sending you this e-mail now because I wanted to share the good news with you as soon as possible. We will be sending out the official letter of admission and related materials later this week, and you should receive them some time in the following week, depending on FedEx delivery schedules. (If your admission is subject to your completing certain degree or other requirements, those conditions will be specified in your official admission letter.) Since admission decisions are made without reference to financial condition, we are only now beginning to review financial aid applications. If you have also applied for financial aid, we will let you know our decision by April 7, 2008. If you are facing an earlier deadline from another institution, please send me the details and we will try to give you an expedited decision. Meanwhile, should you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to welcoming you to Harvard Law School! With best wishes, Sarine Der Kaloustian (please feel free to call me Sarine) |

Congrats to both of you! It seems Harvard has begun to deliver decisions! Did ask for an early decision or just got an unprovoked e-mail?

Mon Mar 17, 2008 03:15 PM Congrats to both of you! It seems Harvard has begun to deliver decisions! Did ask for an early decision or just got an unprovoked e-mail? This seems to be the normal round of admission decision. although i stand corrected. Congrats to everyone admitted.I hope that everyone gets in as this wait has been traumatic to most of us. |

well all we have to find out is whether they sent out all of the emails at the same time, which is unclear at this point. Anyone?
