Perfecting the Law School Personal Statement Session I
Wednesday, March 5th, 1:00 p.m. - 1:50 p.m. 145 D Student Union.
Your law school personal statement can be the deciding factor for acceptance. This session will teach you how to write a winning essay that will positively impact your overall law school application.
The Law School Application Process Session I
Wednesday, February 20th, 3:00 – 3:50 p.m. 145 D Student Union.
We will comprehensively discuss the entire application process: timelines, academics, extracurricular activities, the online application materials, financial aid, the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT), the Law School Admission Council (LSAC), the Law School Database Assembly Service (LSDAS), researching schools (The Official Guide to ABA-Approved Law Schools, the Boston College Law School Locater), recommended courses, majors, a reading list, and will answer any specific questions you may have.
On Saturday, February 16 @ 11AM in Clemens Hall on the UB North Campus, Kaplan will be offering free LSAT, GMAT, and GRE exams. Test results will be available the following week.
Students may call 1-800-KAP-TEST, stop by Suite 201-UB Commons, or visit us online at www.kaptest.com/testdrive to register.
The Law School Admission Council has a very nice, organized list of Pre-Law reference books. This would be a great place to go if looking to find out more regarding a certain specialty area or more about the law school experience. Link to the PDF file.
If you haven’t done so already, send and updated transcript to the Law School Admission Council which includes your Fall semester grades. Go into your LSAC account, print out and complete the transcript request form, and drop it off at our registrar’s office (the Student Response Center in 232 Capen Hall). Once the LSAC receives the updated transcript, they will pass that along to the schools that you have applied.
Also, LOR ’s can still “trickle” in and will be send along to the law schools you’ve applied to as well.
You can pick up the new information book (which includes the test date information for 2008 and the February 2009 LSAT) along with sample questions and an explanation of the LSAC process at 108 Norton Hall.
Have some questions about law school? Want to know more about the application process? Interested in knowing what the law school experience is like?
The UB Law School will be presenting a workshop this upcoming February 13th, from 2:00 – 2:50 p.m. in 145 D Student Union about the law school application and experience. Admission officers will provide information on the application process to UB Law School, admissions, curriculum of study, student-life, and even post-law school opportunities. We will also reserve time to answer questions you may have, and will provide information packets for attendants.
If you are interested in attending, please RSVP to Jon Bonebrake by either sending an email to me at bonebrak@buffalo.edu or calling my office number at 716.645.6031. Please contact me very soon if you’re interested in attending. (Please RSVP no later than February 12th.)
This is a wonderful opportunity to hear first-hand about UB Law School and the law school application process in general, and I encourage anyone interested in law to attend this informative event!
