What to wear and What questions to ask:
The question has come on many email notes this week. Casual, neat, also known in circles as "business casual". Although this is not a job interview, you do want to be remembered. The impression you will make most likely will come from your astute, and well thought out, questions that capture the interest of the schools.

Print these questions and bring with you to the event:

• What types of scholarships are available merit or need?
• What must a candidate do to qualify for merit based scholarships?
  
• For public schools, if scholarship is not immediately available does the school ever offer "in-state" tuition to out of state students during the second and/or third years?
• When could you expect to be notified?
• Does your school have any pre-entry or summer programs for students whose GPA/LSAT or other criteria might not meet your exact requirements?
• What is the difference in law school between and "externship" and "internship"?
  
• If an application waiver is given by a school can the candidate still apply on line using LSAC or do they need to complete the application directly with the particular law school?
  
• Does you law school have any clinical programs (areas of specialization) and how many students who have this area of interest are able to participate in the clinics?
  
• If the entering class is large is it divided into sections?
  
• When do you make offers of admissions (timeline)?
  
• What happens if I am offered the "wait list", when can I expect to be notified of any change in my status? How often should I contact the school? What other materials can help the law school move a candidate from the "wait list" to the accepted category?
  
• If I am accepted to another school, but wish to transfer what are the criteria you look for and how many transfer students do you take?
• Is there any particular advice they might provide for first and second year students in addition to working toward a strong grade point average?
  (Do not ask for the LSAT/GPA for a particular school as that information will be provided to you or can be researched on your own)
