Personalized Virtual Advising

We recognize that some people may just have a quick question, or some may feel more comfortable asking questions in a one-on-one setting. We are happy to offer virtual appointments with our Admissions and Student Financial Services Staff. We can also connect you with any of our current students so you can learn more about their experiences.  

Coffee, Chat & Connection

 

It’s no secret that Team Admissions & Aid loves coffee. But we also love getting to know students! And there is no better way to do that than over a cup of coffee (or water, tea, etc.). Our Coffee, Chat & Connection Series is a comprehensive program that gives prospective students a glimpse at what makes our law school exceptional. In addition to coffee in the courtyard, you will learn about our admissions process, hear from our current students in a facilitated panel discussion, take a law school tour, and have the option to speak with a member of the Admissions staff one-on-one.

This event is approximately 90 minutes. 

Setting You Up for Success

Our application review process is very holistic and we hope that we can learn as much about you as possible when reviewing your application. Each fall we host a series of workshops titled Setting You Up for Success” that focuses on various components to our law school admissions process. Participants will receive expert advice, practical tips and strategies, and learn about resources that help craft a well-rounded application. Whether you're looking to refine your personal statement, figure out what to include/exclude on your resume, or explore the multiple ways to fund your legal education, we are here to support you every step of the way. 

Unless otherwise noted, all sessions are virtual and are 60 minutes.
