You may have proven your aptitude with the LSAT as well as the entrance exam to a certain law school. You may have passed an impressive personal statement law school essay along with the two letters of recommendation from people who know you well. But still, the law school you are applying to requests for a personal interview by their admissions panel. To be able to finally get into the law school that you want, you have one more chance to prove yourself worthy.
Prepare before the interview
Once you have received an invitation, confirm your appointment as soon as possible via phone. Ask for specific instructions and make sure to take note of all of them. It would also be all right to ask who will be conducting the interview so that you can do a little research on them as well.
Read up on the law schools’ history
Aside from researching about the panelists’ backgrounds, research about the current issues on their campus as well. Stay abreast of other current issues of the country as panelists may also ask for your opinions on such.
Conduct an ocular
If possible, go to the campus and familiarize yourself with the area and the place where you will be interviewed.
Review
Review the personal statement law school essay that you submitted. Panelists will likely pull questions from the personal statement law school essay and other credentials that you have previously submitted to them.
Get to know yourself
Panelists would very much like to know an applicant from the person who knows him or her best: himself or herself. Sometimes, practicing in front of the mirror can help you condition yourself to answer confidently and correctly.
On the day itself, dress appropriately. Conservative suits and appropriate footwear can work well for both men and women. Keep jewelry, make up and even perfume to a minimum. Do your best to look presentable and clean.
