Hoping to get some insight on LSAC forums -- are they worth going to, and if so, what do you get out of them? Application waivers, a boost in admissions? Is it an informal interview in some cases? Also, does anyone know where I can find the dates for LSAC forums this coming year? I'm hoping to apply this fall. I want to apply as early as possible, so probably October.

Thanks!

    You get a lot of info about each school and a TON of waivers. You also get a chance to talk to someone on the admissions team and can get insight into what they are really looking for in applicants. I went to the one in SF two years ago and it helped me figure out which schools I wanted to apply to!

    Valuable takeaways from attending a forum: honest conversations with current students/alumni about professors, programming, and school resources; and names, email addresses and direct conversations with admissions officers. You can follow up with the reps and establish an email connection with someone in the admissions office. They can be a valuable resource later in the application cycle if you have questions. You can also refer to your conversations as demonstrated interest in the school in a PS, Why X essay, or future LOCI.

    I had actually never heard of the LSAC forums until reading this thread. With regards to getting waivers... could you elaborate a little more on this? Do they just hand them out? Do you need to do something to obtain/qualify for them?
