Replied! Let me know how else I can help -- I also have two new videos up with veteran admits if you want to see (and a third one coming out later this week)

It's probably his alot of 'um's' in it.
i actually love you! Please do a video on Personal Statements! Also School choices!
Kennedy Brays you got it!
Hey can we take a look at your personal statement?
Ya! Just email me :)
Hey! Can you please make a video on your personal statement? It would really help!!
okay! let me know if you have any specific questions you want covered
Hey, I know you sent your application the first day it opened, when did you find out you got an interview and when did you actually find out that you got in? I'm trying to get an idea of the full application/acceptance timeline. Love your videos btw!
I had my interview in November and got in December 17
Can you explain how top law schools evaluate extracurriculars, I have just graduated high school but i will be entering my college as a junior bc of credits, i feel as though i wont have enough time to develop strong extracurriculars. What do you suggest, and what do law schools look at in terms of extracurriculars?
I have classmates that built an impressive set of professional experiences by working for several years before law school (consulting, finance, politics, etc.). I also have classmates that came straight from undergrad with no work experience. I would just recommend picking something things that interest you. I am doing a Q&A video with the dean of admissions next week and we will go over how they evaluate extra curricular in more detail :)
can you do a view reading over your personal statement please !!! :)
I can email it to you! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi! Thank you so much for making these videos! Your story only pushed me harder to get into HLS. Are you still willing to share your personal statement? I know it has been a few years.
Yes, definitely, and happy to help with preparing your materials. Send an email or DM me on instagram Velovh
Hey! That makes me so happy! Always happy to help. Email me
I am now a follower! ❤️🧡💛💚💙
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for sharing please I have a question regarding the recommendation letters...did you start building a relationship with the professors your junior year? Did you just chill in their office hours or did you make sure you had a course with them each quarter/semester. I'm just tryna figure it out. Also did you go straight into law school?
hey! So I was in school for ~3 years. My first year, I did not like my professors and -- even if I did -- I would have been too nervous to go to office hours. However, by my second year, I had two professors I really enjoyed in class. So, I forced myself to try to interact with them -- starting by asking questions via email, then had the courage to go to office hours or ask questions after class. My "third year," I withdrew for the fall to intern and finished my degree via spring/summer school. Throughout that time, I kept in contact with my professors, sending pictures/updates and things that were relevant from our class together. After graduating with my summer credits, I applied (giving me another year in-between but not material that would make it on to my actual resume for the law school application).
Velo-Vincent Alright makes sense. Thanks again for sharing. 🙂
this was super helpful thank u sm!
Thank you! Let me know if there’s anything else that would’ve helpful - launching a new series of videos that come out every Saturday!

Hello, I am a junior university student who major in Applied English in Taiwan, but I am very interested in US law, because I love the way you teaching by study case, that’s so cool, I wish I go to to the USA for law major after my graduation.But since my major is Applied English, how can I express my academic potential or academic abilities for Harvard?( or any good law school?)
Can I have your advice?
Just tell your story. It seems very interesting. English is a great major for law school. I would recommend studying for the LSAT or GRE.
Hi! Any way I could read your personal statement? I know I’m a little late to viewing this. Thanks :)
Of course! Send an email to Velo.vanhouden@gmail.com
Hi where can we email you to read your personal statement? Love your videos btw SOO helpful
Velo.vanhouden@gmail.com
can someone please clear something up for me. Is the LSAT exam in USA different than Canada? Does the LSAT differ depending on which country you're in?
It is a standardized test, so it will be the same regardless of where it is administered ! www.lsac.org/about/countries-where-lsat-is-administered
@@LifeAfterHarvard alright thanks! One more thing, are my chances of applying to Harvard and getting in from Canada, the same as any other US student? And since I'm a Canadian citizen do you know by any chance if law firms in the US will choose US citizens over me?
Yep! If anything it might be an advantage since you will be able to offer a unique and interesting perspective
Hey I’m planning to apply to the USA for law after my accountancy and finance degree in the u.k. But I’m just a little confused is law a postgraduate degree ?? And is the application process the same for the uk as it is for the us with the exception of being an international student ?
Hey! Law is a traditionally a post-graduate degree in the US (although some schools have different rules), and Harvard requires you to have a B.A. before you matriculate. I’m not familiar with the UK application process, but the US application is the same for all students - you’ll just need your grades, GRE/LSAT score, personal statement, optional essay, and interview.
Hi! I was wondering what extracurriculars you participated in, if any?
Criminal defense internship, ski club staff member, local volunteering
I just passed my higher secondary.i m from india.plz guide me what things i have to do to get in LLM in harvard.I have no idea about it ..plz guide me so that i can fulfill the eligibility criteria while pursuing my bachelors in india..🙏
Hey! Just seeing this now. Is it too late? Hope you’ve been well
@@LifeAfterHarvard no its not late....i am pursuing BA LLB .it will take 2 more years to complete it.
Please guide me.
Helo dude... My name is Zahid and i'm indonesian law Student. I dream of having my master degree at HLS, it will be so honor for me if you can show me your aplication later and so on. Please let me know. Thnk you so much. 👋
Awesome! What parts are you looking to see?
@@LifeAfterHarvard i was looking for your personal and recomendation letter, vel.
Thanks for your videos!
Thank you for watching! ❤️
where did you go for undergrad?
UC Berkeley
are you in the dormitory in the video?:)
Yes
Hey! Would you be able to share your personal statement? You mention we could email you, but I don’t see an email address.
Would be great the review it!
Yes! ❤️❤️❤️
Velo.vanhouden@gmail.com
Anyway, could i see your application?
Yes!
I am a Hispanic, bisexual, first generation who grew up poor. When I start applying, you can bet I’m going to milk these things for all it’s worth.
I am excited for you to appply! Keep me updated!! The legal industry definitely need more representation (only 2% of lawyers are Latinx or LGBTQ) and socioeconomic diversity. Just remember that--in addition to demonstrating what unique perspective you can bring to the incoming class--your application should focus on your goals and how law school is the best next step for you to achieve them.
Thanks bro
Welcomeeeeee ❤️❤️❤️
Hi what was your undergrad degree
Psychology
Hello! I just recently subscribed and I have to say I am in love with your videos!!! Could I take a look at your personal statement and recommendation letter? I sent you an email just now! :) Also, I had another question. I'm an undergrad in South Korea, so there aren't a lot of information on US law school admission :( Between English debate and the school English newspaper, what would you say would be the more appealing club activity for law school admission? Thank you in advance!! :)
Choose the one you’re most interested in! I personally might go for the newspaper so you can meet different people, build a platform, and get published. That being said, I could have also stood to build up my confidence and comfort level speaking in public so debate would be great-especially if you won a competition or something. I don’t think you could go wrong with either of them-just make sure you are actively participating and taking on leadership roles where possible to build up your skill sets.
@@LifeAfterHarvard ahhh thank you SO MUCH! :)
Wow, Gratz! I had better UG grades, better LSAT, my masters (4.0 but they don’t count graduate coursework/gpa, it can only work against you if it’s a low grade, never for you), I’m a combat vet, had all the extras (volunteering, affecting social change and policy on a macro-level[very important])... and I still didn’t get in. Oh! And my parents are both immigrants too. Their formula must be so whacky. I’m reapplying but I’m also hearing that among the top 50-100 candidates, it basically comes down to drawing straws bc they’re all REALLY good apps&int’s. Hope I draw the big straw this time, lol...gratz&GL!!
Pugile MoltoBene good luck! 🍀
No offense but your “congratulations” lowkey sounds like a back-handed compliment towards him, you’re pretty much saying his acceptance came to “drawing straws.” I’m sure you got into other top schools with your stats, and once you get to the HYS there are probably specific things they look for in the personal statements
Tretch Hi, Tretch! Not backhanded at all, Gratz to him - once all basic criteria are met, they check the boxes for the top candidates and choose based on maintaining diversity, because I’ve got some great bleeding heart personal statements/essays. But honestly, the way I see it is - who better to have graduate from a T3 school (not even, necessarily, Harvard) than a guy that has killed scores of people over the course of 3 combat deployments (8yrs active duty) to countries we’ve no business being in! In fact, I’d like to specialize in diplomatic law so that we’d be handcuffed in times of war so we get fucking bombed to death! How’s that for a liberal viewpoint? This time around, I’ll have completed my second masters and PhD of Forensic Psychology, as well. I was also a professional T&F athlete (endorsed) for 4yrs. There is no candidate equivalent to me, none that have served this country in a higher capacity or have the credentials I possess among applicants. I’ve made sure of that. So what they do is attempt to ‘level the playing field’ - only look at UG GPAs, things of that nature. Anyway, chill the fuck out, dude. Some of us are world-beaters while most are sheep. The sheep need to gtfo the way. I’ve worked very hard for all that I’ve accomplished. Hopefully, you picked up on the sarcasm of the international law/liberal comment. Cheers!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@pugilemoltobene3708 if you wrote like that in your letter I think I know why you didn't get in...
If you want to be a Harvard Graduate pls minimize your 'UM' !! Aswell, do not use the 'UM' in your interview. Actually pls don't apply for Harvard because it's not your speed. Your lost for words thats why you use UM all the time. You can't be lost for words as a lawyer. Goodnight!
I already got in-these are informal, informational videos lol 😂 best of luck to you though
He already goes to HLS 😅. Doing the most...
