Events, Courses, and Webinars FAQs > LSAC Law School Forums  > About the Events: How do I prepare to talk with the law school representatives?

Your time with the law school representatives is the most important activity of the day. The representatives you’ll meet could be admission deans, faculty members, recent graduates of the law school, or even current students. These representatives will not speculate on your chances of admission, although you can ask general questions about the qualifications and profiles of admitted students. Law school representatives can also speak with you about their programs, facilities, and student body, as well as answer other questions that will help you decide whether to apply. Consider questions that would provide you with information beyond what you can find on the law school website, such as:<ul><li>What do you look for in a personal statement?</li><li>What is the law school student experience like?</li><li>How would you describe faculty-student relationships?</li><li>What percentage of graduates practice in the region around your school?</li><li>What do students like most about your school? Least?</li><li>What on- and off-campus housing opportunities are available for students?</li></ul>
