Admitted Students

Welcome

Congratulations on your acceptance to the UW School of Law!
We are extremely excited about the prospect of you joining us in Seattle next Fall. Here at the UW, we see the law and the legal profession as key ingredients to building a community. The School of Law is more than a collection of students, staff, and professors. Instead, we are a family where each person recognizes her or his responsibility to be leaders beyond the academy.

We know you have many choices among top American law schools. Whether it was the small class sizes, the extraordinary faculty, or Seattle that brought you to apply to UW Law, we are confident that in the next few months, your decision will be to enroll here next Fall. Following are links to important information for newly-admitted students. Congratulations, once again, and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

 

Admitted Students Weekend

Congratulations on your offer of admission to the UW School of Law! Admitted students are invited to participate in our Admitted Students’ Weekend 2012, a series of events – including a class visit, information on our many clinics and programs and a luncheon with faculty – that will help you get acquainted with the School of Law and University of Washington.

During Admitted Students’ Weekend, you will have several opportunities to network with students and faculty from the School of Law and to learn about academics, careers, funding, campus culture and living in Seattle.
