Campus Visit

Summer 2008

If you will be in the Washington, D.C. area this summer, we encourage you to come visit us at the Washington College of Law. We offer student-led tours on most Mondays and Fridays from June 9-August 15. You must RSVP in advance for the tour by contacting our Admissions Reception Desk at wcladmit@wcl.american.edu or 202-274-4101.

If your schedule does not permit for you to visit the law school for a scheduled tour, you are welcome to print a copy of our Self-Guided Tour which highlights areas of the facility you might want to see during your visit.

Due to the large size of our applicant pool, we cannot provide evaluative interviews. Therefore, your personal statement is the vehicle that you should use to tell us about yourself, your background, your achievements, and other factors that you want us to consider in evaluating your record. It is your opportunity to address the committee, and it provides us with a sample of your writing.
