A Head Start in Our Journey
Tomorrow is our last day in the program! This was such a great experience, I'm so glad I was given this opportunity. We have been given such a head start in our journey to and through law school. We've received so much inside information. We've heard from law school admissions representatives, law students, law professors, practicing attorneys, and so many important people.
We've experienced a taste of law school classes and law school exams. I feel that, because of this program, I'm going to be ahead of the game. Leaving tomorrow might be a little sad but I'll be happy to see my family again. Posted By: UNC-Chapel Hill Sophomore Summer Institute Student |

The Last Four Weeks
I have really enjoyed the last four weeks here at CLEO's Sophomore Summer Institute. Thanks to the last four weeks, I feel better prepared for the LSAT, have some knowledge of Contract, Criminal, Torts, and Property Law, and have gained information that will prove to be very valuable during the next couple of years of my life.

An Experience I Won't Forget
I have greatly enjoyed my time here in the CLEO program. Everything about it was worthwhile. I learned a lot from the contracts course, the criminal law course, the torts course, the property course, the logic course, and from each person who came in to speak with us. All of us CLEO scholars definitely worked hard this month, but we also were able to form strong bonds with one another and enjoy each other's company. We all became like brother and sisters. This experience is something that I will never forget.

My Last Full Day
Today was my last full day of classes in the CLEO program, and I am honestly very sad to say by to all of my professors. I have has such an amazing time in the Logic Instructor's class through the course of this month. I have learned so much from him and his teachings have inspired me to take a logic class before I graduate.

Take advantage of what CLEO has to offer
Hello everyone! I just wanted to take the time to thank CLEO for all the guidance and advice they have provided for me. I started at the junior jumpstart program and attended the ASAP program, as well. If you can make it to the ASAP, GO!! That was the most helpful event I could have ever asked for! The application process is very intimidating and it is vital to pay close attention to detail. I applied and felt very confident b/c of the advice I received at ASAP. I will be attending SMU law school in August! I wish everyone the best of luck and feel free to contact me if anyone has questions! I am forever grateful for CLEO !! |

Third Day - Logic
I feel like the Logic class has really helped me to think in a different way. It has forced me to pay close attention to what I am reading and really figure out what the right answer is. Also through this class I realize how an argument can be hard to identify at times which is really interesting to me because I thought I could identify arguments easily.
As for the contract class I feel that every day I learn something new that can be applied to everyday life and everyday conversations. But I must say I am curious and a little nervous about the test Posted By: UNC-Chapel Hill Sophomore Summer Institute Student |

July 10 - The LSAT
So the LSAT this morning certainly was draining like some said it would be. However, once we got started the time in each section seemed to fly by. I am sure that one of my main problems today was time management. I tried not to spend so much time on one question but it always seemed to be two or three in each section that really stumped me. Nonetheless, I am greatful for the opportunity to take this practice test.

Even though I woke up late..today has been AWESOME! I really enjoyed both classes! The instructors are FABULOUS! I still am in awe at how much we learn and how interesting everything is. The homework has not been as bad as I thought because we have really gotten the hang of the briefs!I have also started to get the hang of the "logic" activities..(SO SURPRISED..lol). I am ready to see how the practice LSAT on Saturday will be and how I will do. I can't wait to see what's in store next! Posted By: UNC-Chapel Hill Sophomore Summer Institute Student |

EXCITED!
Even though we have a lot of work to do for Criminal Law Class, I hope I will enjoy the class! I cannot wait to experience the other classes as well. When I go to law school I feel as though I will be MORE than prepared! I cannot wait to put what I learned to use! Can't wait to experience real law school!

First Week Is Over
Ok! Week one is OVER! It has been a week; I challenged and pushed the limit. I made it! It wasn't that bad, just had to discipline myself and stay focused. I am looking forward to next week, but I saw the Criminal Law homework and it is no joke!
