2007 Applications for Harvard Law School

The Harvard JD Admissions Blog says that the School has submitted its 2007 application form to the LSAC and expects the form to be available online soon.

HLS's 2007 application introduces three minor changes from previous years:

• Applicants will be asked to submit resumes. Assistant Dean of Admissions Toby Stock, who writes the HLS blog, says that resumes are being requested this year because they provide admissions committee members with "an easy way to get a quick sense for your activities and experiences." HLS plans to post some sample resume formats to its website.


• The application will include a list of legal fields and careers and give applicants the option of indicating which, if any, they are interested in pursuing.


• College certifications are no longer required as part of the application process. However, admitted applicants will have to submit college certifications before enrolling.
