Alumni | Northwestern Law School student
"As a first-generation student, the Pre-Law Advising team was my guiding light throughout my application process. They helped me come up with a timeline and laid out all of the necessary steps I would need to take to ensure I was successful during my desired application cycle. They guided me through studying for the LSAT, building my school list, writing and editing my personal statement and other essays, and prepping for interviews at certain schools. They always had thoughtful guidance and were there to answer my many questions."

Paris Buren 26C
Alumni | Emory Law student
"My identities as a Korean-American and African-American woman have always shaped how I view justice and I became interested in pursuing a career that can protect and uplift those who are vulnerable to systemic oppression. I decided to explore this interest more at Emory through different electives and had some amazing professors."
Ben Arnoldsen Crawford 24C
Alumni | Paralegal Professional & Harvard Law Student
"Pre-Law Advising has been a huge help over the past few years. They helped me refine my resume before I started applying to law school and also helped me find my most recent job as a litigation paralegal. That experience has taught me a tremendous amount about the day-to-day work of a litigator and the kinds of challenges can arise in the profession."
