Rally the Pass
The road to practice is challenging. While law school tests intellect and stamina, passing the bar exam is the final hurdle.
The good news is that proper preparation through a bar review course will get you past the finish line. Data shows that UB Law graduates who complete 90% or more of a comprehensive, reputable bar prep program significantly increase their likelihood of passing the exam on their first attempt.
The greatest results come to those who rally and put the work in each and every day.
Are you ready to rally?
The law school’s new Rally the Pass initiative is a pilot project focused on encouraging bar takers to stay focused and on track throughout their bar study. With fun incentives, informal coaching, and motivational tips from the law school community, bar takers are reminded that they are surrounded by a team of supporters who believe they can succeed.
How does it work?
2024 UB School of Law graduates preparing to take the July 2024 bar exam can sign up to join our Herd of Champions. Students who sign up May 1, 2024 will receive a stainless-steel Rally the Pass water bottle to keep motivated (and hydrated) through the bar prep.
The Office of Academic Success will coach bar takers by keeping track of their progress while studying for the bar. Incentives, including Rally the Pass merchandise, will be awarded to participants who achieve the 25%, 50% and 75% course completion milestones.
Participants who reach the ultimate goal of 90%+ completion, will receive a $50 gift card -- courtesy of the UB Law Alumni Association.
90% completion = higher pass rates
98.39% of UB Law graduates who completed 90% or more
of a bar review course passed the July 2023 bar on their first attempt.
