Harvard Law & MPP/ID

Graduate School Law School
1

<p>I was interested in the Harvard JD & MPP/ID joint 4 year program. I am a sophomore at Georgetown; International Business & Finance majors, Economics minor with certificate in International Development. I do research work, hoping to get a good internship for summer, and am starting to think about LSATs. I do volunteer trips 2-3 times a year in different developing countries, and work with Habitat for Humanity extensively (thats the short story more or less)</p>

<p>With that said, what would it take LSAT & GPA speaking, to get in? Is it common right out of undergrad? I may even stay here for grad school.</p>

<p>If you want to go into that straight from undergrad, you should have 3.95+ GPA and 178+ LSAT. Your volunteer work won’t matter. An internship on hedging, banking, etc. would help a little bit for Harvard Law, though not much. No activity you can do as undergrad can help you at all for admissions into Kennedy (the White House internship might help a little). So your bet would be to maximize your LSAT and GPA.</p>
