UB Law School Networking Event
Wednesday November 11th at 5:30 pm
From the reservation page: The University at Buffalo Law School will be hosting evening networking sessions addressing topics on UB Law School admissions criteria, curriculum and special programs, tuition and financial aid. There will also be a panel of current law students who will share their experiences about preparing for law school, why they chose UB Law and life as a law student.
Register for the event here! Hearing directly from law students is always interesting, and hearing what helped them prepare for law school as undergrads along with what they think about law school should be very helpful. Of course, hearing directly from the admissions office to UB Law is the best way to learn about their programs and being competitive.
