What have past participants said about the program?
"Thank you so much for the excellent program you put together for Today. I loved every minute of it. The students I met were extremely personable and helpful. Today’s events definitely impacted my career plans, and I really cannot thank you enough for what I learned." -Junior, Economy, UF
"THANK YOU! for putting together the Road Map to Law School. I received so much helpful information and my mentor answered lots of my personal questions that I may not have been likely to ask in a large group setting. I appreciate the small group forum we had and the mock tort class was interesting to see how a person would go about dissecting a real court case. I’m so excited that I will be applying to UF Law School next year and hope to see you on the day of Orientation. Thanks again." -Junior, Criminal Justice, UF
"I wanted to thank-you for holding the Road Map to Law School for students, like me, who are interested in going to law school. I thought that you, the students, and the speakers did a great job of presenting information to us. My two favorite parts were the student panel and the mentors because that’s when we can let our guards down and talk to people, who were once in our shoes, about what it REALLY is like to go through the process of applying and what to expect when you’re accepted. Great job, really!" -Junior, Criminal Justice, UF
