Admissions and Financial Aid Blog

For the last 5 years, I have created a Yahoo page for the entering class, providing a forum for the new students to get to know each other on-line during the summer.  Many people have been telling me that I really needed to create facebook page for the class this year.  I had never used facebook, so kept putting it off.  Finally, I mentioned it to one of our network administrators and he said that he would look around to see what was already created for VLS.  To our delight, we found a page has been created by Brandon Gillen, a member of the entering class - and he has given me permission to share the information with the entering class.  So, you can now go to the facebook group:  Vermont Law School - Class of 2011.  Over the summer, we will continue to add campus photos, orientation information, housing updates, etc.

You haven’t heard much from the Admissions Office lately - and that is because we are reading files!  The application deadline was March 1; literally hundreds of candidates submitted application within a 2 day period at the deadline.  Then, all of their LSDAS resports arrived simultaneously in the office about March 20th.  They were delivered to the Admissions Office in a cart because they were too heavy to carry!  So, now we are reading files and getting decisions out in the mail as fast as we can.

So, what is happening with the wait list???  The first application deadline is April 18th.  Therefore, the last week of April, we will make decisions regarding how wait list files will be reviewed.

Thank you for your patience - We truly appreciate your commitment and interest in VLS!!
