入学審査官と一対一で面談機会(30分)を設定することが可能です。全受験生にとってこの面談は必須出願条件ではありませんが、確認したい質問、出願書類を読む前に審査官へ伝えたいことを整理し、必要に応じて練習を重ねることも合格の可能性を高める対策の1つですね。

UC Berkeley LL.M. (Traditional Track含)の出願締切日12/18が発表になりました。

その他の出願関連情報は下記のリンクよりご確認ください。
https://www.law.berkeley.edu/academics/llm/application-admission/application-forms-deadlines/

今月末から来月の初旬にかけて、その他のプログラムにおいても出願要綱が続々と発表されます。それに伴い、各校の学校説明会、さらにはLSAC主催のLL.M.出願関連イベントが開催されるようになります。

出願締切日から逆算してタスクを整理しましょう

この先の書類準備を円滑に進めるためには、今月8月末までにはレジュメを仕上げることをお勧めします。そして9月からパーソナルステートメントの執筆へ注力できるように計画を図ることで、心理面にも余裕が生まれ、よりクオリティーの高い書類へと仕上げるため推敲用の時間も確保できるようになります。また、必要に応じてテストスコアの底上げにも時間を充てることができます。
