Kind regards, Admissions staff Thu, 13 Mar 2008 16:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42567 and I received that : We currently anticipate that decisions will be available by March 21. Please check back next week in the event that we are able to release results sooner than that. Thank you, Admissions.

We thank you for your patience. Graduate Admissions So I think it means no...they give positive answer before the deadline... Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:25:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42575 Dear Sak, Did you send an e-mail or did you call the admissions office? Can you tell us please, the name of your contact at the HLS admissions office? Thanks in advance! Thu, 13 Mar 2008 17:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42576 Hi councel I sent them an email...at the following address: llmquery@law.harvard.edu They dont write any name, just : Admission Thu, 13 Mar 2008 18:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42582 thanks folks.. now may be i can wait in some peace.. till 21st!!! Fri, 14 Mar 2008 00:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42617 Hi all - this is what I understand to be the situation. I don't want to cause any further anxiety but from what I understand Harvard MAY give out early offers to those awarded substantial scholarships with strict deadlines. I can only go so far because I only personally know of one person in this category, and that person was asked to keep it strictly confidential (for the record, he/she did not volunteer this information to me - I only found out after pressing him/her about their inquiries). This is perfectly understandable because if people find out that they can get offers early then everyone will start emailing/calling Harvard and things would get out of control. So unless you have made it clear to Harvard that you really have a large scholarship from another university with a strict deadline, don't expect anything more than the standard "we can't tell you at this time" or "we advise you not to give up on your other offers" emails. Most applicants would have multiple offers from universities and it would be unreasonable to expect Harvard to release decisions purely on the basis of other acceptance deadlines. Whether these emails are "polite rejections" I'm not sure, but if you think about it calmly the answer is likely to be no. First, it is possible that they have not finished reviewing all applications - the 21 March date is set for a reason. Second, it makes sense for Harvard to want to avoid giving out YES/NO answers outright. Again, if people know that they can get their decisions early (regardless of whether it is yes or no), then everyone will start bombarding Harvard with requests and the official release date would be pointless. This is why early decisions are only given to the genuinely desperate cases and are only given on a strictly confidential basis. So don't despair if you haven't heard anything or got one of the standard emails - 21 March is the day that most people will get their results. And try to ignore people who come out early and say they got an offer, because if they really got an offer they would have promised to keep it confidential - and broadcasting it here means they are either lying of they can't keep their word. Hope that allays some fears. Fri, 14 Mar 2008 00:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42623 Thanks knuman. I think that's reasonable and balanced. Let's wait for next friday then. Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42642 Great post knuman, I couldn't agree more. Most admission decisions were released on March 19th last year, it will probably be the same this year, only two days later. Harvard has a large LL.M. program, so even if some applicants were already offered admission doesn't mean that all other applicants should feel discouraged. Besides, to simply state the obvious, nobody can attend more than one LL.M. program at a time. Those going to Harvard will withdraw from other prestigious LL.M. programs - for example, Columbia (and its famous Early Review...). So in the end most people should get a spot somewhere. Finally, let us not forget that some applicants offered admission to Harvard will go to Stanford and Yale... so relax, guys :) Fri, 14 Mar 2008 15:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42663 Does someone knows what’s the acceptance rate for Harvard? Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:02:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42671 Circa 10%. 1500 applications, 150 admitted (+ or minus 10). Fri, 14 Mar 2008 16:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42680 Thank you 007! Fri, 14 Mar 2008 18:05:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42691 It's not precise. If you want to get the right odds, you have to take into account the number of applicants from your country. Basically you are only in competion with the people from your country. Fri, 14 Mar 2008 21:01:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42699 Is that a strict rule? I mean that they only compare you to those in your country-quota so to speak? Do you have any experience of that it is really so? I have also heard so. Fri, 14 Mar 2008 21:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42700 Is that a strict rule? I mean that they only compare you to those in your country-quota so to speak? Do you have any experience of that it is really so? I have also heard so. I've also heard that they compare you to people from the same law school you attended (meaning that Harvard does not accept two candidates which graduated from the same Law School). Does anyone know if this is true? Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42747 Is that a strict rule? I mean that they only compare you to those in your country-quota so to speak? Do you have any experience of that it is really so? I have also heard so. I've also heard that they compare you to people from the same law school you attended (meaning that Harvard does not accept two candidates which graduated from the same Law School). Does anyone know if this is true? It is not true! Sat, 15 Mar 2008 14:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42748 Is that a strict rule? I mean that they only compare you to those in your country-quota so to speak? Do you have any experience of that it is really so? I have also heard so. I've also heard that they compare you to people from the same law school you attended (meaning that Harvard does not accept two candidates which graduated from the same Law School). Does anyone know if this is true? It is not true! Hey Oak. Would you mind to clarify? I might be mistaken but i beleive that HLS do work on a country qouta based system. If this is not the case i would love to hear what's the system of admission? Sat, 15 Mar 2008 18:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42756 it would be great if you give us some kind of explanation! Thanx! Sat, 15 Mar 2008 18:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42757 It is not true that they accept one student at most from a particular university; two friends of my class were admitted simultaneously to the LL.M. program two years ago. However, I agree they are not all too keen on selecting from the same breed; a third friend with credentials at least as good as the two others was not accepted. I also believe they aim at selecting as much as possible from different countries, but I'm not all that sure they'd work with strict quota to that end. Sun, 16 Mar 2008 05:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42789 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. Good luck to everyone! Sun, 16 Mar 2008 12:51:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42807 As far as I know, it is true. Whether they are fixed quotas or just rough percentages I do not know. am2008 Sun, 16 Mar 2008 12:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42809 As far as I know, it is true. Whether they are fixed quotas or just rough percentages I do not know. am2008 Just look at stats from previous years, you'l find that there is a fixed amount of students from certain countries - + 1 or 2. Sun, 16 Mar 2008 13:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42815 Could you let us know where such stats of previous years can be found? Thanks. Sun, 16 Mar 2008 15:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42824 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. Sun, 16 Mar 2008 16:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42825 Thanks for the posts, everybody. I guess the rumor that HLS accepts only one student per university is definitely false then. Let's keep our fingers crossed, as this week is THE week! Sun, 16 Mar 2008 21:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42846 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 your swift reply, Greg. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to retrieve the posts you mentioned. Could you provide us with the links to those threads? Many thanks! Sun, 16 Mar 2008 22:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42848 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/13230/13 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 02:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42860 I have a feeling that Harvard will release admissions before March 21. In previous years, decisions were made before that date. Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:46:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42918 I just received this.................I am in........... 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) Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:52:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42920 Congratulations Kobayashimaru! Looks we're gonna be classmates because I'm also in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still cannot believe it! I got the same e-mail 10 minutes ago!

Did ask for an early decision or just got an unprovoked e-mail? Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:09:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42924 I am in too!!!!! I do not think I can go to sleep tonight... Mon, 17 Mar 2008 16:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42927 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. Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42948 I am also in! I have just received the admission decison, which makes me think that the normal round of admisions has just begun. Good luck to all! Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42950 Well Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where are you all from?

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:30:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42953 If I haven’t received anything yet, I’m out? Does Harvard send all admission e-mails at the same time? Does someone already called HLS admission office to know further news? Thank you for your anwers! Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:37:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42955 Congrats to all who have been accepted... All your hard work has paid off... See you in Cambridge... I am in too... just read my email 10 minutes ago... trying to contain myself Peace Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:42:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42964 If I didnt received anything, should I call them? Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42965 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? Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:53:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42977 No further admissions today? Does someone call the admissions office? Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:57:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42978 I sent an email, but didn\'t get an answer yet (not even the automatic response). Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42979 me too... Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:00:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42980 I'll let you know as soon as I get the answer. Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42981 wait....sorry...I did get an automatic response :) it said they'd reply asap. i wonder whether all the decisions are out already, i guess they are :) Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:12:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42982 Did you send the email to llmquery@law.harvard.edu? Did you send it this morning? I sent mine a while after people started posting their acceptances. Thanks! Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:14:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42983 I sent it at 17.51 and got the response automatically (obviously) :) It went something like this.... Thank you for your e-mail regarding your LL.M. application to the Graduate Program at Harvard Law School. We expect that our admissions decisions will be available by Friday, March 21st. However, if you have been offered admission by other LL.M. programs and cannot get an extension until at least March 24th, please provide us with all relevant information (including the specific deadlines that you are facing) and we will do our best to provide you with as much information as possible before your deadlines. Admissions decisions will be sent out via regular mail. You may call our office to obtain your results beginning on Friday, March 21st. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Your e-mail is important to us, and will be answered as soon as we are able. Kind regards, Admissions staff Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:15:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42984 to that e-mail address, yes Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:19:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42985 It's very strange that I didn't get that automatic response. I might send it again and see what happens. In any case I think I'm going to SLS. Thanks for your answer and best of luck to you! Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:27:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42987 Well Done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where are you all from? Hi Louise. I'm from Brazil. Taking into consideration that four students(me, kobayashimaru, llmers, jenkinsVrose) told they were admitted almost at the same time, I guess some of the admission decisons were sent out simoutaneasly, Since only five people have put an answer in this forum so far, I don't believe that all decisons e-mails were already sent. Best of luck to you all! Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#42989 Any Germans been admitted so far? Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43005 Does this effectively mean the unfortunate souls that are the rest of us who have not received emails by today have been rejected? Ouch. and here I was waiting for Friday Mon, 17 Mar 2008 23:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43007 Dear _________: The Committee on Graduate Studies has asked me to inform you of its decision regarding your application for admission to the LL.M. Program for the 2008-2009 academic year. This year Harvard Law School received an overwhelming number of applications for approximately 150 spaces in the LL.M. class. As in previous years, our applicants included a singularly impressive group of practicing lawyers, government officials, law teachers and others from over 70 countries. As you might imagine, such an applicant pool requires that we make some very difficult admissions decisions, and the Committee found it impossible to accept all those whom it would like to encourage in graduate study. Although the Committee, after careful consideration, is unable to offer you admission at this time, your name has been placed on the waiting list. We expect to have a better idea by mid-May as to whether we will be able to accommodate any candidates from the waiting list. If a place in the class becomes available, we will let you know as soon as possible. If you wish to discuss your status, please feel free to contact me by phone or by e-mail. If you choose to accept an offer from another school, please notify us so we can remove your name from the waiting list. Thank you very much for your interest in the Harvard Law School LL.M. Program. Very truly yours, Sarine Der Kaloustian Maybe I pushed my luck a little bit, I sent them two emails today and this is their way of getting rid of me. To tell you the truth I'm quite happy. At least I don't have the problem of having to decide between SLS and HLS. Now I'm definitely going to SLS!!! Good luck to all those still waiting and congratulations to those going to HLS! Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:38:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43019 I called the admissions office and they told me that decisions were already made. I was rejected Goog luck all! Tue, 18 Mar 2008 00:48:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43021 I called the admissions office and they told me that decisions were already made. I was rejected Goog luck all! Hard luck. Just to be clear, when you say 'decisions were already made' do you know whether all decisions are complete at this point? Thanks for any further information you can provide and comiserations once again. Tue, 18 Mar 2008 04:56:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43032 Hi all, I read llm-guide for more than 2 years but I just register to post. Reading from previous posts, I think admitted people received emails in different time. Some people receive it a few hours after the first post. Hopefully, HLS still has available seats. I still don't hear anything from HLS. Some people may think it's too late if I don't receive anything yet. Let's see whether I will hear the good news before the end of 21 March or maybe, I just have to wait for official rejection. Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:06:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43041 I just recieved their office auto-reply n now I dnt have the guts to question further.. I guess I will wait for another few days.. Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43044 I have received the admission offer from them just two hours ago,, Tue, 18 Mar 2008 08:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43045 Rejected. Called them up and found out. Congrats to all admitted. (Good luck to Kobayashimaru and L&E-pil):) Tue, 18 Mar 2008 08:40:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43047 Congratulations to all those who were admitted and condolences to those who were not. Life goes on even if HLS or YLS don't offer you for admission to their "lofty" programs; trust me, you'll become a solid professional in spite of those elitists! What is the size of the entering class of LL.M. students at HLS, and also YLS for that matter? I've seen conflicting data on this point (some say 50, others say 150). I ask because their admission processes strike me as either ridiculously difficult ("oh, we've gotten too many qualified applicants, blah, blah, blah...") or incredibly arbitrary (e.g., cherry-picking applicants from this or that country/background, with no apparent rhyme or reason)! Anyhow, "buck up" boys and girls who weren't admitted...you're all going to make fine LL.M. students elsewhere! Tue, 18 Mar 2008 09:55:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43056 Did the decision arrive through email or mail? Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:31:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43090 Has anyone received an offer today? Tue, 18 Mar 2008 17:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43091 just received!! Not admitted.. Congratulations to all those who could make it to the University!! Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:35:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43094 I sent an email to llmquery@law.harvard.edu and received an automated response immediately and an email rejecting my application about 5 minutes later. Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:45:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43097 Is there anyone who sent an email and received a positive answer? It looks like if you send an email you receive an immediate rejection :-) Tue, 18 Mar 2008 18:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43100 Ummmm, it seems like there is no admission email in this day. I'm not sure whether it means HLS already sent all of available seats at this time. (but it seems like they did) As I saw from the other, if we send the email to ask admission office, we may receive bad news instantly. Congratulation for all admitted people. Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:11:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43105 Why wait if the decision was already taken! Call them and find out! Tue, 18 Mar 2008 20:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43106 I sent an email 3 hours ago…I’m still waiting for an answer Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:28:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43118 I wouldn't presume that just because we didn't get news from HLS that we will be rejected. Guys, don't worry. You'll have plenty of time to worry about it if you get rejected. But if you worry too much, a refusal will hurt even more. Before applying, I prepared myself for the worst outcome, which is nothing more but a mere refusal. I can't deny that it'll be disappointing, but I am prepared. Now, I will try to occupy my mind with something else and time will pass faster. Good luck! Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:18:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43124 Hi, I have just called the admission office and they informed me that my application was denied :-( If you call and give your name and some details you will get the answer! Tue, 18 Mar 2008 22:29:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43127 Is there people on wainting list? Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43136 Congrats to those admitted! A few questions: If one has been rejected does it weigh negatively to apply again a year later? If one is granted a prestigous scholarship beforehand- do chances increase to enter? And last - any accepted applicants this year from Finland? Or Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland? Thank you in advance. Wed, 19 Mar 2008 02:17:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43141 They don't take into account previous rejections. I received a plain rejection last year and this year they appear really enthusiastic in having me there. I received an offer some days ago and also a phone call from someone in the Admissions Office to explain the advanteges they have over Yale (I got admitted there too). I also do not think one could jeopardize his/her application by calling them to have news. Be polite, have a good excuse for calling them - I think everyone already have another offer by now - and get ride with this anxiety. I've been to Iceland last year, nice place! Wed, 19 Mar 2008 04:54:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43153 Thank you for all of your comments. Anyway, congratulation to u, Kobayashi. What a great achievement? YLS, HLS, SLS and CLS. Which one u will choose to go? Moreover, may I ask u some questions? Can u share ur profile or some suggestions? When u received a rejection last year, u refused all admission from other places, if any. do u? After rejection last year, what do u do to increase ur chance? Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:13:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43201 I wrote to them yesterday afternoon and got my answer last night. I was rejected.... no surprise there!! I'm going to Columbia… and I'm actually exited about it! Wed, 19 Mar 2008 15:16:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43203 I'm in the same situation as you are cllm. E-mailed them on Monday and just got my answer: rejection. I'm happily going to NYC to attend CLS! See you on August! Wed, 19 Mar 2008 16:22:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43215 Me too! Rejected and looking forward to NYC ; ) now more ppl should be able to join CLS admitted facebook group, LOL. Congrats to all admitted and see some of you in August. Wed, 19 Mar 2008 18:48:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43233 Do you think that all the admitted people already received the answer?

Oh well, looks like I'm heading to NYC... still haven't decided what end of Manhattan I'll be living in;) Wed, 19 Mar 2008 20:03:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43240 Do you think that all the admitted people already received the answer? I'm afraid it's the case :( Thu, 20 Mar 2008 20:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43397 Even I emailed them last night and got my answer - a rejection :( Am still waiting for the others!

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 10:58:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43467 OMG this thread is getting so deperate...........it is hard to receive a rejection, i applied only two and got in NYU and UVA.............i do not know y i was not inclined to apply to HLS, just i did not like to apply there..................may be it was to save me from a rejection...........however good luck to all.....HLS is not the end of world, other schools are good on equal footing.....if some one is hard working and brillient by himsef/herself then i think school name does not matter........just shine urself and u will get ur desired job/post in ur life................good luck for all of us Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:43:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43492 I have not received an email yet....do you think I should call them???

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:10:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43498 I did not hear from them either as it is still the morning there we still have all day to wait! Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:23:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43500 if you call now and answer some few questions about yourself they'll give you results. Fri, 21 Mar 2008 15:34:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43502 To all, Since today is the last day, I hope there will be some good news left for those who still waiting. Good luck, Sat, 22 Mar 2008 00:07:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43527 for those of us who have been admitted, do we have a facebook group yet or should I go ahead and create one? Sat, 22 Mar 2008 05:44:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43537 I don't think that there is a FB group yet, but it's a good idea. Sat, 22 Mar 2008 09:39:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43541 http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=22727304856 let's go then! Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:49:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43550 I have not received an email yet....do you think I should call them??? They said that within today we would have all received an answer. Anyone still waiting like me? I am still waiting too - I haven't received any news from Harvard and started to think that they've actually rejected me. I am too scared to call or email them. I assume they will send rejection emails too, won't they? Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:59:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43551 li'lbro, are you a fulbright scholar? I am asking because it takes longer for the fulbright scholars to receive the admission result, as the schools cannot contact us and we have to wait for the fulbright officials to spread the news! Sat, 22 Mar 2008 14:33:00 +0200 http://www.llm-guide.com/board/42552/last#43560 Why there are still no messages like "I am in!!!"? Seems like I am not alone in waiting for their decisions...today is 22...
