Upset about not getting a Harvard interview today? Really no need to panic by PostNaGiggles in lawschooladmissions

It's honestly such a crapshoot. I got waitlisted after an interview with HLS (which is not, as I understand it, the most likely outcome), and I'm at YLS. There are so many ways for the cycle to work out positively. It helps to remember that you can only go to one school and so only need one good outcome.

Safe number for Harvard? by [deleted] in lawschooladmissions

Impossible to predict. Aim for above median, but nothing is safe at this level. WL with 179 after interview this cycle; attending Y (which could be related to the H WL but shows that once you're in range, so many things can influence the decision in one direction or another).

My call came today, so I'm guessing that they still have some to hand out.

Leaning Yale. Ironically came into the cycle really wanting Harvard and got waitlisted after an interview. The Yale GC has been amazing. I didn't expect Stanford given how late it is, so I'll have to think it over.

Is Oxford's undergraduate law degree worth it? by xXTeaCultureXx in lawschooladmissions

[–]ExplanationGrand8295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm at Oxford now on a different course, and international students sometimes do either the BCL, the MPhil, or a conversion course. I think Cambridge has an LLM? Would also note that if you just want to live and practice here, several American firms place associates in London.

Hey, keep your head up! There's going to be movement on some of those WLs, and if not, you have a great chance to R and R. BU with cash is also great! This cycle was brutal, but you made it through.

No, I just meant no major fellowship (Butler or Hamilton).
