You are eligible to apply if you will have a bachelor's degree by August of the year you intend to enroll at HLS (Harvard Law School). You must also take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) before the February 1 application deadline (no later than the December LSAT administration) in order for your application to be guaranteed consideration.

The J.D. degree requires three years of full-time study, and new students begin their studies only in the fall semester each year. Apart from continuing legal education for practicing lawyers, we have no part-time or summer programs.

Admission decisions are based on the Admission Committee's experienced judgment applied to individual cases, and many factors are taken into account. Each application is given a thorough review, taking account of all available information. Because GPA and LSAT alone do not fully or adequately summarize information about individuals that is important to admission decisions, these "numbers" often prove poor predictors of admission decisions on individual applications. At no point on the GPA or LSAT scales are the chances of admission to Harvard Law School 0 or 100 percent. As reported to the ABA, the 75/25 percentile GPAs for the class entering in 2005 were 3.92/3.68 and the 75/25 percentile LSATs were 176/170.

All students who demonstrate financial need according to a combination of federal and institutional guidelines receive adequate financial assistance to complete their course of study. For more information about financial aid, please consult our current application for admission or visit the HLS Financial Aid Office web site.

The Low Income Protection Plan (LIPP), is one of the most generous loan forgiveness programs in the nation. This program helps relieve the burden of repayment of educational loans for J.D. graduates in qualifying jobs. Qualifying jobs include all full-time jobs in non-profits, government, or academia and law-related jobs in the private sector.

2006-2007 Expenses:

Tuition: $37,100
Estimated living expenses (standard single student budget): $22,200
There is no separate budget for married students, but additional expenses are subtracted from available resources in the needs-analysis calculations. The nine-month allowance for spouse living expenses is $8,856. Allowances for children are $5,139 for the first child, $9,828 for the first child of a single parent, and $5,076 for each additional child.

Harvard Law School Application Deadline

I've provided a link to Law School rankings below.

75% of those admitted to Harvard law have a 3.72 GPA or better and a 169 better on the LSATs. Based on what I saw at Duke's B-School -- you will find that about 90% of them all went to high quality undergraduate schools (other ivies, great private schools, great liberal arts colleges or premier public universities like Berkeley, Virginia, Michigan and UNC).

See the school's web site for information about aid. Most students will be able to take out student loans. Unlike PhD programs (where nearly everyone gets a fellowship or assistantship), most students at professional schools do not get a free ride.
