So you’re going to Harvard Law School, eh? By this point the awe should have subsided (well, a little) and it's been long enough so that you've realized they haven't made a mistake, and that letter saying "umm, yeah, about that admission thing, we actually meant to send it to someone else," never came - don't worry, it won't ever come.
Now what do you do? Well, you spend the summer trying to artfully dodge the question, "So, where are you going in the fall?" because you've found that once you say "Harvard," everyone seems to look at you a little differently and it's a little weird. But other than that, what else do you do to prepare for Harvard Law School? This 1L Survival guide was created to help you with the process of moving to Cambridge and making the transition to law school.
