No way you can get into Harvard.
Why not?
I told my mum about this and she said, "take up LLM in International Taxation instead! Don't dream big, be practical!"

Did you not see his qualifications above?
Unless they are PERFECT.. you have to know the right people to get in.

I know somebody who got in whose grades are pretty much average. It's all about the packaging, according to my classmates.
GetMisted, are you referring to the JD program or to LL.M.?

I know I have a chance. And I still have lots of time to prepare. My friend told me it's all about the packaging - although grades are looked into. I was like, if it's all about the packaging, I really think I have a chance. I write well! 😛

I don't use my connections to get admitted into something. I just let the admission process determine if I really deserve it.
More school!
Don't you want to get out there and work and, like, make money...
Sheesh, must be nice to have your parents bankroll your life.
Go for it Bunny.....like Cappy says, give it a try........... and feck what other people say
Thanks, Cappy and MyStarShine, for the support!
hugs,

My dear friend, the valedictorian of Class 2013 of University of the Philippines College of Law, had a brief conversation with me. She's drafting her essays for her application at LLM program of Harvard.
She told me that, to get into Harvard, you have to write essays and submit letters of recommendation from former professors. It's the entire package that they will consider although grades in law school are also looked into.
She could easily get in since she's the valedictorian and actually had latin honors - magna cum laude for the undergrad and cum laude for law school.
My grades aren't as stellar - cum laude for undergrad and none for law school. Although I was running for valedictorian had I not transferred schools, dean's lister twice, academic scholar once, and had "off-the-record" grades during the second half of law school, I had two failing marks and some incomplete grades during the first half.
I'm just wondering if I could still get in despite some problematic grades (but all were part of the first half in law school) considering that it's the packaging that they will mostly consider. I hope that my off-the-record grades in the second half of law school entices them into admitting me.
I will apply for LLM for Environmental Law btw and where I am from is a big plus - I live in a disaster-stricken community that was able to achieve a record of zero casualty in the last typhoon season. I am also a consultant at the provincial government and part of my work is to review the laws of our province. Today, I had just submitted the Review I wrote where I specifically suggested some tax measures that will encourage people to help in environment conservation and protection.
