Law School Fairs
Okay, so I've completed my undergrad, taken my LSAT, began applying, and have a general idea of where I'd like to go to school...
However, I recently got an email about a few law school fairs that aren't too far away and have been considering going to check them out. There's over a hundred schools attending, including 90% of the schools that I plan on applying to. I was wondering if anybody had any experience with these fairs and if they would recommend them or think it's a complete waste of time.
Are these fairs only for students who are still early in undergrad/still debating law school, or would I see any kinds of benefits (possible fee waivers, etc.) of attending one of these law school fairs??
Thanks!

That would be the main thing that would make them worthwhile.Nova wrote:You may be able to cop some fee waivers tho

Re: Law School Fairs
How likely is it that Northwestern, UPenn, and/or Michigan give fee waivers at the fair? I wasn't planning on going, but if I can cut down the costs of application season, that'd be helpful.Nova wrote:Generally useless

Northwestern's app is free until like Nov 5. Go to their website to get the waiver.YarivHagger wrote:How likely is it that Northwestern, UPenn, and/or Michigan give fee waivers at the fair?

This, plus they like to see demonstrated interest in the Why X essays and LOCIs. So if you end up on the waitlist at any school, you could send a LOCI about how you specifically traveled to the law fair to check out the school and were so impressed etc etc.Nova wrote:Generally useless

Re: Law School Fairs
Is it wrong to ask for fee waivers if you go to these things? when I (almost) applied before I had a few schools offer them to me after going but I feel kind of sleezy asking them in person. if it's not weird though I might as well...

Plus, YP schools like Duke, UVA, and Michigan had lists for you to put your name on, which can't be a bad thing.
