Personalized Virtual Advising
Personalized Virtual Advising
We understand that some students may prefer asking quick questions or having more in-depth conversations in a one-on-one setting. That’s why we offer virtual appointments with our Admissions & Student Financial Services teams. If you're interested in learning more about student life, we can also connect you with current students who are eager to share their experiences.
While we’re happy to answer your questions and provide guidance, please note that we’re unable to make predictions about your chances of admission.
Admissions staff offer 20-minute virtual appointments that are intended to answer your questions. We ask that if you schedule an appointment, that you come prepared with specific questions. A nything discussed in these meetings will have no bearing on the application review process and appointments should not be seen as an interview.
Our Student Financial Services staff are here to help educate you on how to finance your legal education and budget while in law school. In this 20-minute appointment, you should come prepared with questions on topics such as merit scholarships, need-based grants, outside scholarship opportunities, debt management, loan repayment forgiveness programs, or anything else related to financing.
If you prefer to connect with our Ambassadors individually, you can make that request via our Admissions Ambassadors website. Because our Ambassadors are volunteers and full-time law students, conversations will mostly be via email. However, if Ambassador’s schedule allows, they may be able to schedule a brief virtual appointment.
