Are you planning to apply to Georgetown Law this year?  Then you’ll want to take advantage of a group interview with the Dean of Admissions scheduled for October 4th in Boston.  Here’s what the Georgetown Law Admissions Office has to say about it:

The format is 15-20 students around a table for 50-60 minutes.  Dean Cornblatt introduces a topic for discussion and encourages the students to talk amongst themselves while he observes and moderates the discussion.  No prior knowledge or research is necessary – he tells them everything they need to know to be able to participate in the exercise.  He pays attention and takes notes and then, when the students apply during this application cycle, Dean Cornblatt’s observations of their performance during the group interview become part of the application.  We will hold 2 back-to-back sessions at 10am and 11am, respectively, on October 4th at the offices of Goodwin Proctor in Boston.  Participation will be open to any seniors or alums of your school who have applied or will be applying for Fall 2012 admission.  Group interview slots will be filled on a first-come first-served basis until the two sessions are filled.

[Applicants] should rsvp directly to us so we can keep track of attendees, and we’ll send an email confirmation to them for their time slot.  This is meant as an additional way to reach out to applicants, to personalize the admissions process at Georgetown and to get to better get to know some of the people who are applying.  Although we think it’s a great opportunity for students who can and are willing to participate, students will in no way be disadvantaged if they can’t attend or for any reason they don’t wish to take part.
