Georgetown Law Admissions Talk

This Week at Georgetown Law

What’s new at Georgetown Law Center today is that we have just finished hosting over 300 admitted students the past two days. The students got a chance to see the school, attend a mock Supreme Court argument by members of our Faculty, and spend an hour or so over at the Capitol listening to three senior staffers, all Georgetown alums. Our guests were hosted by our Student Ambassadors, whose willingness to give their time made all the difference. Although we were visited with some cold temperatures and snow flurries (we thought of it as a Winter wonderland), I think everyone had a good time and got to get a feel for Georgetown Law School.

There will be more events in the Spring, but for now it’s back to the files of all the people still waiting for a decision. More later.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year from an abnormally warm Washington DC. The law school is beginning to come alive with first year students returning for a special week of classes we call Week 1, which is an intensive week of study where students become advocates and gain an understanding of how legal problems transcend international boundaries. Meanwhile, here in the Admissions Office things have never been busier. We have sent out about half of our acceptances and I look forward to figuring out who the other half will be. For those of you who have not yet applied but are planning to, I encourage you to get your application in as soon as possible. It is most certainly not too late, but the sooner the better! For those of you waiting for your decision, we are working hard to get back to you as soon as we can.

 
Meanwhile, the city is buzzing with the House and Senate changing hands and important debates have begun bigtime. It’s an exciting time to be here in DC and at Georgetown, and I encourage you to come  visit. While it is great to look at places electronically, nothing replaces an in person visit.

 
On that note, it is back to the files. And I will try to post here more regularly. Again, Happy New Year.
