The To-Do List Nobody Gives You After You Deposit

About this episode

Jake provides a checklist of tasks to complete after depositing for law school, covering housing, budgeting, and networking.

You hit submit on your deposit. Now what? For the first time in months, maybe years, there's no clear next task in front of you. Jake walks through exactly what to do in the weeks and months between depositing and orientation, from locking down housing and budgeting your loans to networking with alumni before you ever set foot on campus. Whether you're still waiting on a few decisions or fully committed, this is the checklist you didn't know you needed.
