      @@EmmanuelBerrelleza I was rejected by Yale and didn't even bother to apply to Harvard because my gpa wasn't high. Wound up going to Georgetown law. Harvard Law School graduates almost all have great outcomes, so I'm sure you will have a wonderful career!

    These tips were extremely helpful, so thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what is your 2 gap year plan? I've heard a lot of Harvard Law students take these gap years, but I also know a ton of students prefer to head straight into their professional college after undergrad. Anyways, congrats on your acceptance!!

    Hey do you think that for international students the college we attend as an undergrad counts? Cause I am Brazilian and I am not going to be able to go to the really good schools and I am afraid that this will make it harder for me to get in harvard law

      Clara Barros harvard law definitely has international students in its student body. However for more detailed information on what the application process looks like I’d recommend reaching out to the admissions office at jdadmiss@law.harvard.edu

    Is there any programme at hls or any prestigious law school where you can apply straight after high school?

    • @EmmanuelBerrelleza
      @EmmanuelBerrelleza  3 роки тому +3

      Hi! I do not believe going to law school straight after high school is possible in the United States since law schools require a bachelor's degree, but perhaps outside of the USA this may be an option. However, I am not too familiar with those processes.
