As we fully dive into recruitment season this month, the J.D. Admissions team is reflecting on our previous admissions cycle. We ramped up our recruitment travel last year, visiting almost 90 university and college campuses across the United States and the United Kingdom. We also expanded our virtual outreach, hosting over 50 online events for prospective students and over 80 virtual events for admitted students from January to April. During our on-campus Admitted Students Days, we were delighted to welcome nearly 490 admitted students to the HLS campus.
We are thrilled to welcome the Class of 2027 into the Harvard Law School community and are looking forward to connecting with future members of the Class of 2028. For a comprehensive look at last year’s recruitment efforts, check out our 2023 Wrapped: J.D. Admissions Prospective Student Outreach blog post. To compare these numbers to the previous year, you can also refer to our 2022 –2023 by the Numbers blog.
