I’m sorry to hear about your experiences with law at Tufts. I haven’t had as bad a time - I just met with one of the pre-law deans on Friday and she gave me some really good advice on whether graduating in December or doing an internship in the fall and graduating in the spring would be better for law school apps. She gave me a little handbook that had some practice LSAT stuff, and advice on the personal statement. And I’ve gone to info sessions about finding law-related internships, and law school panels for Georgetown, UMich and UVA in addition to the Columbia ones. They weren’t really recruiting, they were just answering questions about the application process. Law Day on the Hill was really cool, a bunch of Tufts law students and law admissions and financial aid came to do panels and answer questions, and afterwards I got to chat with a bunch of Tufts lawyer alumni and got good advice on my summer job search.

But of course, I can’t really talk until I’m holding an acceptance letter to Columbia or NYU law. But I’ve had pretty good experiences with Tufts’ law-related resources.

Oh and by the way, my post is not to suggest that kinly’s experience is an anomaly. It’s possible that many other students are similarly dissatisfied with law resources here, but I was just showing that there are at least two possible opinions on the subject.
