As Iran's senior from law school, I can vouch for the fact that she was a highly intelligent and nice person. Kind to her juniors too. Very proud of her, even if we have not been in touch for many years.

Instead of talking about her, especially anonymously, like this, why not try talking to her? Maybe, instead of writing posts on LI to gain upvotes or LinkedIn for 'likes', why not use LinkedIn in the best way it can be used - to network? Maybe connect with her on there (by sending an invitation with a properly crafted 300 character long note, explaining how you found out about her and why her career is of interest to you), actually write a proper message to her, ask for an informational interview and find out about her trajectory? Maybe do that by starting with questions about something specific, e.g., the moot or her working under a judge and ask for advice about how to bag such things, and then about other achievements? Or is that too much serious work for you?

Anyway, for those who are mindlessly scrolling on here, want to do serious work in life but can't because, of course, nobody who scrolls this site has any basic research skills, here is her actual LinkedIn profile. ▮▮▮

Hi. Don’t you think that M7 MBA considers work experience much higher than a JD? Maybe that’s where they both differ. Plus, the lsac GPA normalisation gets really niche when you actually apply for the T-14 schools as the above comment mentions here. I think Indians don’t apply for JD cause no one wants to prepare for a rigorously tough US exam (unlike the sat or gmat) like JD after spending five years, where already one is having a law degree. That doesn’t make JD a less valuable degree or in fact I feel it’s just as prestigious as a M7 MBA, if not more. US citizens consider JD a much bigger deal, whereas M7 mba is a global attraction. I hope this settles the debate.

I think that’s where she made the cut, if you don’t have a stellar GPA/mesmerising Harvard lsat score (the most important ingredient)- you either need to be a Rhodes scholar or a jessup winner, she was the latter. No wonder Harvard is the OG lol. We salivate at the opportunity of going there for llm even after studying at a T-1. More power to Iram!

Hi. I think most of the readers don’t know what a Harvard JD (not knowing may sound pathetic) is in the first place, prolly for them a Harvard llm is itself a big deal. Getting in is a very big deal and I think majority of readers do acknowledge that. It’s just a few trollers who love to spew nonsense anyway.

I am pleased at this intervention, but think it could have come quicker. I also wonder if the moderators could be allowed to do a bit more than mark comments with tags such as 'trollish', 'contested', etc.? Could reliably-sourced material (i.e., HLS's own admission policies) be linked to by mods, for example? Doing something like that, in addition to the placing of tags, would, I think, help demonstrate this (moderation) as being a credible process.
