- Grad and Law School Fair Tips
- Prioritize your list of schools to make effective use of your time at the Fair. If you have time, visit the websites of your top schools.
- Visit as many graduate school representatives as possible.
- Be friendly and assertive. The representatives are here to see YOU!
- Introduce yourself by giving your name, major, and year in school. Be prepared to shake hands! If you have a particular interest such as a certain type of degree or program, etc., say so. Initiate conversation by asking a leading question such as, "Could you tell me about the programs you offer?"
- Collect materials and business cards from representatives.
- Ask good questions, i.e., “What graduate programs do you offer?” “I’m a freshman. Any career advice for someone just starting school?”
- Ask how to get more information about the graduate school or program.
- Be patient and wait your turn if a representative is talking with another student.
- Smile! Be personable and talk conversationally with representatives.
