Pre-Law Advising has scheduled on-campus interviews at the UMD Career Center with law school representatives for the week of December 3-7. These interviews are for students who are applying during this cycle and interested in these specific law schools: UMD; Baltimore; American; Catholic; George Washington; UVA; William & Mary; George Mason; Cardozo; and Fordham. 

The deadline to sign up for these interviews is Thursday, November 29, 2018.


From Pre-Law advisor Greg Schaffer -

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.  You'll get your chance later.

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.  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 next Sunday, the 25th. DEADLINE EXTENSION to 11/29 Thursday  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.
