Back in the Office

Fall recruiting is now officially over and it is time to turn my attention totally to the 4,000 or so early files we have received so far in our office. A word about the travelling: Although flying has become a real hassle, I have never enjoyed my college visits more than I have this year. I have been to 15 campuses (the last was West Point where I had a terrific visit) and met over 500 applicants and have found this group to be more informed, more lively and more engaged than I have in the past. It was a pleasure.

As I get ready to dive back in to the early folks, I do want to remind people who have not yet applied that while there will be plenty of room later in the year, I would strongly recommend that you get your applications in as soon as possible. Georgetown Law School has rolling admissions which means as soon as your application is complete, it is considered and decided. If you think of acceptances as chairs in a room, the more the room fills up the more selective we will be.

I hope you all have a great Thanksgiving. If you're looking for me, I'll be the one on Friday reading files.
