Admitted Student Days

Welcome to Cornell Law School!

One of the best ways to learn more about the Law School and what it can offer you as an enrolled student is to visit us. We will be hosting three separate Admitted Student Days, on (these dates are tentative):

  • March 6
  • March 27
  • April 3

The Admitted Student Day formal program will begin on these three Fridays at 9 a.m. and finish up about 4:30 p.m. The optional program will include dinner on Friday night and events on Saturday morning.

Admitted Student Days enable you to:

  • Sit in on a live first year class
  • Speak with current students
  • Meet our financial aid counselor
  • Talk to a career services professional
  • Take a tour of the Law School and Cornell’s campus
  • Participate in the life of the school

We look forward to showing you why Cornell Law School is so highly regarded. Cornell Law School offers a travel subsidy for students who would not otherwise be able to afford to make the trip.

Travel Subsidy Program
If you would like to attend an Admitted Student Day, but travel expenses would be a severe financial hardship, we may be able to help you with a travel subsidy. The subsidy is intended only for admitted students who would otherwise not be able to travel to Ithaca.

  • To apply for a travel subsidy, complete our online travel subsidy form as soon as possible.

Please send us a copy of your fee waiver if you received one from either LSAC or Cornell. Funds will be awarded based on financial need and distance from Cornell Law School. In order to have a check available to you by the day of the respective Admitted Student Day, we need to have your completed travel subsidy form no later than 15 days before the given Admitted Student Day. The Travel Subsidy Form is available by logging into the Admitted Student Webboard/Forum website. (This link will take you to the Status Check Login website. Please login into the Status Check system, click on the link to the Admitted Student Webboard and click on the Travel Subsidy link.)
