Admitted Student Day 2021
Thank you for visiting Cumberland School of Law’s Admitted Student Day page. See below for resources to help guide you through your law school decision.
This year, Cumberland School of Law will offer admitted students the chance to participate in Admitted Student Day on campus on either March 12 or March 26, 2021. However, in order to safeguard you and our campus community during the ongoing pandemic, we will limit the amount of participants to 30 students per day. In light of this, we have created this page to provide admitted students and families with resources and documents that provide answers to questions frequently asked on Admitted Student Day. We hope that you find these resources helpful as you select your law school home! Please check your email for instructions on how to join the private Facebook group for admitted students, so that you can join the discussion and have your questions answered. We are thrilled you are considering becoming part of the Cumberland School of Law family, and we hope to see you in the fall!
If you would like to schedule an online visit, where you can sit in on a class and have a video conference with an admission counselor, please email lawadm@samford.edu with your preferred day and time.
