Is it worth asking current students repping admissions?
Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2014 5:42 am
I am not able to visit a law school that I am thinking of attending. However, I wanted to email and contact current students at the school to hear their personal opinions and experiences about the school. But I don't know anyone that goes to the school and the only people I can find are on the school's site (whom the school directly suggests we reach out to). They seem to represent the admissions team as student ambassadors.
There are other students obviously mentioned on the school's site and news sections that probably have linkedin or that I could find their emails on the student directory, but I feel like that might be stalkerish if I messaged them on linkedin to get their input on the school. I just really need to decide soon if I want to attend and I can't seem to make a decision.
I feel like asking students who represent the admissions team is worthless because they won't give me an objective and truthful perspective on their experiences at XYZ law school. Or am I wrong? Is it still worth asking these students?
I'm trying to figure out how I can get in contact with current students at the law school or very recent graduates of the school. However, I really don't want to talk to students who won't give me their honest perspective on the school. What should i do?
