Connect with a Current Student

A group of current BU Law students, known as Student Admissions Ambassadors, volunteer each year to serve as an information resource for prospective students. Our Ambassadors have a wide variety of interests and are engaged in many activities here at BU Law. Prospective students can email an Ambassador directly if they have specific questions or just want to learn about life at BU Law from a student perspective. Please keep in mind, these students are volunteering their time on top of their law classes. We kindly ask that you reach out to one student from the list below.

If you have questions related to admissions or the application process, then please contact the Admissions Office at bulawadm@bu.edu or 617-353-3100.
