Ep 58: Creating Strong Relationships With Law School Admissions
With their past experiences working on law school admission teams, Alice and Monique share their advice and stories on creating a strong relationship with law school admissions. From law school fairs to virtual/in-person campus tours, they go over how creating a strong relationship looks like, how you can do that, and why it's important!
Episode Highlights
Admission teams will remember you. The interactions that they have with you are not divorced from the rest of your application. So always make a good impression.
Taking part in tours and activities to engage with the institution and its students will help build your relationships.
On the whole admissions officers are supposed to be the least intimidating, the most friendly, because they’re the ones recruiting. Engaging with you is fun for them, that all being said, when they are doing that with you and they are building that relationship. Starting on the formal side is always a good idea for you as an applicant, as a prospective student.
Tweetable Quotes
“If you are in a room with an admissions officer, don’t be afraid to really ask a question. It is not weird to take up space in that way. You are allowed to take up space. Don’t be nervous. There are no stupid questions I promise.”
“We are recruiting, but we’re not really sales people in that respect. If my law school is not the good fit for you, that’s okay. Totally fine. What I wanna make sure is is that you have all of the information that will lead you to be able to make that decision.”
