UMD's Pre-Law Advising Office has set up an interview program
that will bring together admissions deans from some of our more popular feeder
schools right here to you on campus.
DEADLINE EXTENSION to 11/29 Thursday
Here's how it works:
1. Interviews are the
week of December 3-7, as follows:
Monday 12/3 - American, Fordham, Catholic
Tuesday 12/4 - American, Baltimore, Fordham (morning, if
needed), GW
Wednesday 12/5 - Maryland, Balltimore, GW, William and
Mary, Cardozo (afternoon, if needed)
Thursday 12/6 - Maryland, Cardozo, Virginia (afternoon,
if needed)
Friday 12/7 - Virginia, George Mason
2. These are intended for students applying to
matriculate next fall. Please, do not register if you are not currently
applying.
3. You are welcome to sign up for as many as you like,
but please only take a spot if you have some legitimate interest in the
school. I do not want you to register for a "practice" interview for
a school you don't care about.
4. I do not "screen" people and decide who
gets a spot...first come, first served. Be reasonable about the schools
you are selecting. If you have questions about whether you are a
realistic candidate at a particular school, please ask.
5. These are 15-30 minute interviews,
held in the Career Center. In the past, they have been very helpful, both
for the student and the schools. They are business formal in attire, but
students have not found the meetings to be super-intense. These are all
friends/colleagues of mine, and they realize you are learning about them just
as they are learning about you.
6. To register, login to Careers4Terps, select
"Center Events" then "Student Programs" and type in
"law school" to the search field, and all available law schools come
up.
Then, scroll down through the events and pick the date and
time you would like to interview.
You'll be sent an email confirming your RSVP after you select your time.
7. Please register no later than Thursday 11/29 This will allow us to adjust
schedules for next week, as needed. Remember, though, first come, first
served.
8. Specifically for UVA, Cardozo, and Fordham - they
have been kind enough to offer an extra half-day for us, but I only want to use
them if necessary, so if you are interested in those schools, please try to
sign up for UVA on Friday, Cardozo on Thursday, and Fordham on Monday. If
you can't, it's OK, but I'm just trying to consolidate the interviews if I can.
