Hi there,
I am a law student from Asia. I need your help with my choices. In this Feb, I will attend a conference in Boston and New York. I have applied to three law schools in these two cities. I may have the opportunity to visit the law schools campus, I wish that I may have the chance to talk further with the director of the graduate program about my goals and determination. However some friends told me it might be a little bit risky. What would you do if you were me, everybody? Thank you for that!
What should I do?

Boston and New York are in the US. This part of the board is for the Americas. Why do folks always imagine the Americas is the same as the US? M8, post your question on the US section!

Read his/her post more carefully a second time, you'll realize this is the good section for her question.
Some universities don't grant on-campus interviews, but they sometimes mention on their brochure that you can attend a class, etc. I don't have much info about that. Someone else :) ?

? I have written to one law school before and told the administrator that I would like to talk to the committee about my application, and she said that the interview would gain me a unfair advantage, since that law school never have interviews with the applicants.

but to other law schools, they said I am more than welcomed to visit their campus or even audit a class or two. I don't feel it useful if you couldn't get a committee member to talk to. I am not sure, who has the decision to admit you, the director or professors? or both? Anybody knows? :-)

It is always a plus to visit the school. You can attend class, meet students and professors. They will not make a formal interview and they will deny that but I am sure you score an extra point if you visit the school and mention this experience in your PStatement. It shows that you know what you want and that you are willing to invest in your application.
