Inside Law School Admissions—Tues., October 25 at 6:00 p.m. in 166 Wohlers Hall. What happens after the law schools receive your application? If you've ever wondered what law school admissions deans are "really" looking for, or how they decide between candidates, now is your opportunity to find out! This event will feature two presenters: Nicole Vilches, Assistant Dean for Admissions at Chicago-Kent College of Law, and Wayne Hutchison, Director of Admissions at Michigan State University College of Law. Ms. Vilches and Mr. Hutchison will walk participants through their side of the admissions process. They will share what impresses them, what gives them second thoughts, what common errors they see, and what leads them to decide among a sea of highly qualified candidates. Please join us as we get an up-close view of law school admissions--from the inside. No registration required.
