*gets a call from Harvard Law School*
"Do you know why we're calling you? 😊"
Me: "OH MY GOD DID I GET ACCEPTED??"
"Nope. 😈"

"Hi this is Harvard Law School do you know why I'm calling today?"
"OMG I've been accepted?!"
"Oh, no... you forgot to pay your application fee."

This was not the phone call I got, but at least the rejection letter was nice 😂

$400 non refundable application fee, when my daughter thought of applying. Almost certainly much higher now. Acceptance rate for the undergrads is less than one percent. MILLIONS of dollars per year, for a university with one of the largest endowments in the world. My daughter was Valedictorian of the fifth largest public high school in the state of Missouri. Heavy volunteer for many charities, and FORTY hours of college credit in high school. Yet...she had no chance to be admitted to Harvard. Too many legacy scholarships, and I wasn't wealthy enough to purchase an admission for her.

These are the exact outfits I've always imagined the staff at Harvard law school wear 😅

I watch this ever time I need to cheer up. Their voices bring me so much pure joy.

Congrats to those future HLS students! I always dreamed about getting the acceptance calls or offer letters from the school or job I desire. But it never happened.

This was so heartwarming to watch. Not only because the students are so excited, but just how excited the staff is!!! ahhhh love it

[NahlaOT]

Congratulations 🎉 and thanks for the Harvard team for bringing the joy for these students and their families.

the first 15 seconds of this looks like an ad for coffee mugs

I have tears in my eyes. It was never in the cards for me to receive such a phone call, but it is so amazing to hear that someone's dream has come true.

[kwfown]

Just know that for every happy call they made, there were 10, 20+, other people either crying or disappointed from receiving the rejection letter

[chq]

Aw 🥹 the feeling!! They must be so elated. I couldn't help but smile widely during the whole video!!

In my day, all we got was a letter in the mail, the thickness of whose envelope was a good indicator of what it contained. But the, in those days if you had an 800 LSAT and a GPA above 3.9 with a major in a rigorous discipline you probably knew when you sent in the application that you were going to get in to Harvard and Yale and that if you were rather below those objective measures your chances were not particularly high.

So 3 person got admitted, aweeeesomeeee

One of the most memorable moments of my life. Thank you for sharing this and congratulations to the new admits to the Class of 2027!

Heartwarming video, nice to see all the admission staff are young and friendly. When I was applying to Optometry school, the admission staff at all the schools I applied to were all old and intimidating.

[chrismaggio]

OMG I would be so amazed to get this call! Well, mostly because I never applied to Harvard...
