What law schools are everyone going to? I'm wondering if any of my future classmates are in this forum. I'll be at Harvard

gertie, if you didn't get an acceptance email, you weren't selected. I emailed them and that's what they told me.

Have you heard anything? I sent an inquiry to the general email address for the scholarship 2 days ago and didn't hear back and then I tried to email Gwen, the woman who emailed to confirm that my application was complete, but the email bounced.

Hoping they're running late and not that we didn't win. :(

Update. I received a call and have been selected as a recipient! So it looks like they're calling people not emailing them. The number was a Chicago number FYI. Good luck to the rest of you!
