What is Mathers role in my law school applications?
Mather House is deeply involved in the law school application process. Indeed, the House has established certain procedures that you must follow to apply to law school. Broadly speaking, Mather performs three functions. First, we advise. Mather will assign you a nonresident pre-law tutor (usually a current student at Harvard Law School) who will answer your questions, help you pick law schools, edit your personal statement, and otherwise coach you through the often Byzantine law school application process. Second, Mather provides a substantive element of your application: the dean’s letter. The dean’s letter, which functions like a letter of recommendation with certain limitations, is drafted by your pre-law tutor and signed by the resident dean (in his capacity as resident dean). Read more about the dean’s letter here. Finally, Mather performs certain essential administrative tasks. The House coordinates the copying and distribution of your letters of recommendation, which are stored
