Boston forum Forum

LSACs website still says TBA. Does anyone know if there will be a forum in Boston this year?

I saw this on Seton Hall's recruitment schedule:

LSAC Forum - Boston
Mon., Oct. 21, 2013

It is now up on the LSAC website, but you can't register yet:

It's possible I may go to the Boston one instead of the NYC one. I've registered for NYC, but Boston fits my schedule better.

i work in Boston, and just based on how convenient it would be to go, I feel like it would be silly not to register for the forum.

that being said, can anyone tell me how useful it actually is to go? apart from learning more about specific schools, does going to a forum ever result in making a useful connection with a school rep.?

I actually went to the one last year and am planning to go again this year. Last year I mainly just checked out the information sessions they had. It was great for me because I had just started to think about the possibility of law school and it was a good primer/overview.

I didnt meet with too many admissions people but thats my goal for this year. I feel like at the very least I can get some good info for a Why X essay.

I figure it's a good way to get info on a lot of schools quickly.

Has anyone successfully solicited fee waivers at these forums? Is it a no-no to ask?
