Admissions Ambassadors

As of December 1st, our Ambassadors will be unable to respond to requests as they complete finals and enjoy winter break. Our Ambassadors will return to connect with prospective students on January 21, 2025.

UC Irvine Law is well known for its tight knit and supportive student community. After one conversation with one of our students and you'll understand why. We take immense pride in the collegial environment our community has developed. Our students play a large role, if not the biggest role, in fostering that culture.

UC Irvine Law Admissions Ambassadors are current students who volunteer their time to serve as a resource to prospective and admitted students. We encourage you to review the profiles of each ambassador and submit a request to ambassadors@law.uci.edu to speak with a particular ambassador who you would like to connect with. Our ambassadors love any opportunity to share their experiences with those considering law school at UC Irvine. 

Please keep in mind that your conversations with an ambassador are an opportunity for you to gain insight into our community and will have no bearing on your admissions decision. Ambassadors are unable to provide any feedback or advice on an application.
