Things to keep in mind

1. Stay in contact with Rowan’s Pre- Law Advisor.
2. Make sure you also meet with your major advisor at least once a semester to plan out your course schedule. This is the best way to ensure you are on target to complete all major and core requirements in three years.
3. Join the Pre-Law Society, Rowan’s student organization for undergraduates interested in law school. The Pre-Law Society hosts guest speakers, law school informational sessions, and such events as an annual Law School Fair, an annual Mock Law School class, a law school admissions “counselor-in-residence,” and a Mock Law School Admissions Committee session.
