Admissions Updates: July 19
Admissions Digest, 07.19.2022
What's Going On in the Admissions Cycle Right Now?
Incoming 1Ls are preparing for class registration, as law schools finalize plans and speakers for orientation programs. Students should anticipate several waves of important emails—be sure to check your spam folder and to stay on top of these communications!
For prospective applicants, law schools are updating their recruitment calendars to give applicants a sense of when and where their admissions officers will be visiting this fall (either in person or virtually). Keep a lookout for information session offerings that begin this summer and extend into the fall—these are great ways to learn more about programmatic and curricular offerings, ways to get involved on campus, and a school’s overall admissions process.
