Lauren Johnston

(Class of 2016)

"My favorite part of Miami would definitely have to be the professors. It's a very unique experience to be able to sit in a classroom and have a professor know your name. Being able to talk with them frequently and having them take time out of their day to meet with you at office hours and schedule all this time with you to make sure you understand the concepts—those have definitely been my favorite aspects about Miami."

Daniel Moler

(Class of 2016)

"Pre-Law 101 has been one of my favorite classes thus far, and it's ideal for anyone that is thinking of attending law school. Maria Vitullo, the pre-law director, is extremely knowledgeable and will bend over backwards to assist you in any manner that she can. Attorneys visited our class from all sorts of firms, big and small, private and public, to talk about what they do. Two judges also came in, which led to my opportunity to shadow them."

Paige Melton

(Class of 2015)

"I lived in the Pre-Law Living Learning Community (LLC) in Stanton Hall. At that point I wasn't sure if I wanted to go into law…Being exposed to it in the LLC made me want to go to law school even more, so it's my first priority now."

Jonathan Fox

(Class of 2015)

"Soon after I got involved in the Pre-Law Program, I was given a mentor, Martin Shepherd…Throughout my college career, he connected me with Miami alumni and professionals who worked in Ohio and in Washington, DC, which enabled me to identify possible legal careers I may be interested in. Over time, our mentor-mentee relationship has evolved into a friendship."

Shannon O'Keefe

(Class of 2015)

"After I changed my major to English literature and got involved in Miami's Pre-Law Program, I learned about the law internship in the Philippines two days before the application deadline. I had already fallen in love with traveling, I'd always wanted to go to Asia, and I had heard about the law firm, White & Case, that was offering the internship. I rushed to get all of my materials together to Maria Vitullo before the deadline, and she was very helpful. I eventually made it through three interviews, and it was worth it!"
