Upper-level Students
Can't say enough good things about these folks. They are super nice & super helpful.
1. Last semester around exam time, I emailed a 2L student asking her if she'd had one of my professors & if she had any pointers of how to approach the exam. She emailed me back she hadn't but that one of her friends had (& had done great in the class) so she forwarded my email to her. Next thing I know, her friend emailed me back with a list of great pointers & also included her outline & one of her other friend's outline to help me prepare! Preparing an outline is a very time consuming process so having one from another student who's had your professor before is like manna from heaven, I kid you not.
2. Same thing a few days later happened. Approached a different 2L & asked him if he'd had yet another of my professors. He had & he proceeded to talk to me for about an hour on how to prepare for his exam, what to do & what not to & again, he emailed me his outline as well as his friend's who'd received the top grade in the class! Considering contracts is a one year class, I treasure this outline since I'll be using it this March for the final exam.
3. As mentioned before, I'll be going for a mock interview next month. So I emailed a 3L asking her how to prepare. She sent me a checklist of about 50 questions firms ask (you can tell she's interviewed alot) & then forwarded my email to another student who'd actually gone there last summer for a mock interview & eventually worked there in the summer. Now this student wants to schedule a time to meet with me so we can talk about it. How nice are these folks?!
