How difficult is it to get into Harvard Law School?

Answer 1

If u r not good enough, u might have to queue for ur turn to enter H.L.S.
Its like u can get in this intake, wait for the next intake, when some of the students graduate, then its ur turn to go join H.L.S.
Its depends how many years u have to wait.
They won't accpet students who r good in academic results, they want student who r excellent in curriculums too!!

Conclusion, u must be PERFECT to get in.

Answer 2

If you are from the middle class - you have to walk on water or be a minority.

According to Pat Buchanan, if you are male and Jewish that helps because for some reason 50% of Harvard are Jewish Males - other than that - ALL Ivy League schools 50-3/4 % of the class is reserved for wealthy people - at least that is what the 20-20 piece a couple months ago said titled - "Privelege in America"

Answer 3

Don't let what other people say bother you. Apply, but remember you should have "safety schools" or schools that you can lean back on in case you do not make it.

Here are the statistics:
Size
Total undergrads: 6,715
Degree-seeking undergrads: 6,715
First-time degree-seeking freshmen: 1,686
Graduate enrollment: 10,010

Student Body
1st-year students:14% In-state students
86% Out-of-state students
52% Women
48% Men
1% American Indian/Alaskan Native
15% Asian/Pacific Islander
8% Black/Non-Hispanic
8% Hispanic
44% White/Non-Hispanic
9% Non-Resident Alien
15% Race/ethnicity unreported
95% in top 10th of graduating class
100% in top quarter of graduating class
100% in top half of graduating class

That's the student body.
