just curious. did any of you admits write a "Why harvard" statement? i'm rounding out my application and was wondering if that was necessary.

I didn't either, but I did include a paragraph on Why Harvard in my PS.

I did, I wrote a completely seperate why Harvard essay from my PS. It was 1 page and it was mentioned in my JS1.

I only added my diversity statement. The why harvard seemed a bit unnecessary

thanks!

I'm keepin mine, people can judge away . I made a new one in like late 2010 and sometimes I wish I hadn't, since the old one was deleted permanently.

I considered it, but I didn't. The advice I got pretty much was "Why X" statements are unnecessary for the T6 and definitely the T3. I don't think it would hurt though (unless if it's poorly written or a really ridiculous reason like you love the bars in Cambridge ).

haha. im just really interested in some of the clinics and programs and thats what i wanted to emphasize in the "Why X" statement for schools.

That's exactly what I wrote! jk

Although I do hear the bar scene is pretty good. I guess we'll have to test it out

In my JS1, I talked about my interest in the law and business specialty track and I think they really liked that. As long as talking about the clinic or program doesn't dilute the other strong points in your essay(s), I think that it can only help.

Yeah, I didn't either. Can't imagine it hurting but I think it came through in my dual degree statement and my PS so I thought it was unnecessary.

I didn't write Why Harvard, but did mention some specific programs I'm interested in during my interview, fwiw.

(also, checking in!! So excited )

I think I'll make a new one in the summer time. My old one has so much stuff I don't want on it.

PS Feel free to send me a friend request if you realize it's me. I don't bite lol

JD/PhD in government. Reallyyy looking forward to 6-8 years of school (though I've been out for a few years, so I actually am kinda excited).

Would be shocked if I got into the PhD program at Harvard, so may have to do some weird JD there, PhD somewhere else. When do you hear about the MBA program?

Not expecting anything until March at the earliest.
