Many moons ago when I took the California Bar, the one thing my bar course kept emphasizing was “HAVE APLAN!” They encouraged me to have a plan for everything from where I was going to study to how I was going to eat during the breaks each day of the bar exam. For that reason, I am writing with some things you might consider as you make your plans to ensure the summer goes as smoothly as possible. If you have any questions about the content of this email, please reply or self-schedule a 1-on-1 virtual meeting!  \nHow Are You Going to Pay for This?  \nStudents who financed law school through loans and other forms of financial aid must plan for how they will sustain themselves during the period immediately following graduation. This includes everyday living expenses (including rent) for the time you will be studying for the bar. There are other expenses related to seeking bar admissions, too, such as application feesand a commercial bar review course. Next month, the GW Law Financial Aid Office will be sharing application information about a Bar Exam Preparation Loan available to recent graduates. The loan amount will depend upon need and fund availability. The annual interest rate will be 0.5%, and repayment and interest begins six months following graduation. Borrowers will have up to five years (60 months) to repay. In addition, there are various private bar loans available to recent graduates. While we cannot advertise any specifically, a simple web search for bar loans will yield many results.  \nBar Loans: Some graduates take out “Bar Study Loans” for amounts between $12,000 and $16,000 to cover expenses to get you through the summer. These loans are based on credit-worthiness and often come with limitations on the borrowing amount, overall debt, as well as varying grace periods and APRs. While we cannot recommend any particular lender, you can find several by using a simple Google search.  \nAre you Taking a Bar Course?  \nIf you haven’t already done so, you should register for a bar study course. Most students take Barbri, Kaplan or Themis but there are other bar courses you could consider.  \nWhat is Your Plan for Requesting Accommodations? Law students who received testing accommodations for law school exams are not guaranteed to receive testing accommodations for the bar exam. The documentation used to request accommodation from GWU may not be sufficient for the jurisdiction where you seek admission. Be certain to review the documentation criteria established by the jurisdiction on the Board of Bar Examiners website. Should your documentation not meet the required standard, you could be denied accommodation on the bar exam. Review information on this webpage. By way of reminder, the University's Disability Support Services (DSS) Office has retained the documentation submitted to support your request for accommodation at the University and is the repository for all of the documentation supporting your request for accommodation while at the Law School. GWU DSS staff can verify receipt of accommodation and complete forms, if applicable, to support a request for accommodation on the Bar exam.  \nSeeking employment? What is Your Plan After the Bar? Students still in search of a job should actively be consulting with the Career Center. Click HERE to book an appointment with the Career Center. Any one of the Counselors can help you talk through and evaluate your options!  \nConfirming your Employment-What is Your Plan After the Bar? The Career Center doesn’t have any information related to your post-graduation employment. If you have secured employment, congratulations! Please update your information in Core so we can stop emailing you about this! If you are still searching, I strongly suggest you consult with the Career Center.
