Where can I get a mailing list of upcoming law students at a UM (miami)

Clarification of Question by sweetcaro333-ga on 07 May 2002 12:28 PDT

We would like to send out a mailing to all upcoming and/or current Law
Students at the University of Miami. I have called the school already
and they do not sell any lists like that to the public. I am a
graduate and recall being bombarded with mail from companies offering
career placement services/memorabilia for graduation/ and all sorts of
things and always wondered how they got my address..
Other Universities we'd be interested in are Florida International
University and FSU. Either Law or Medical students.

Hello Sweetcaro333-ga!

Finding mailing lists these days is becoming more and more difficult. 
I found through personal experience that signing up for the LSDAS and
LSATs was all I needed to start becoming bombarded with law school
related junk mail.  I'm not sure if they were able to pinpoint what
schools I was interested in, but I do know that the LSDAS service
records what schools the applicant applies to.

Likewise, when I took the PSAT's in high school, tons of mail from
various colleges and college-related businesses soon followed.

For law schools, the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) administers
the LSAT as well as maintains the LSDAS application service.  Most law
schools require the use of LSDAS, so they may be able to sell you a
list that will meet your needs.

Their website is:

[ http://www.lsac.org/ ]

Note that I did not find any information on purchasing mailing lists
through their site.  You can, however,  contact the law school
information center here:

Law School Admission Council
215.968.1001
Fax: 215.968.1119

I tried to give them a ring tonight but they had already closed for
the evening.  I suspect somebody at the LSAC should be more than happy
to sell you a list or let you know where you can get one from (I'm
sure it's a substantial revenue generating operation for them).

Good luck!

Although this answer gave me some information as to who might have
these lists available, it was too broad and required me to do most of
the research.
I found my answer in one of the comments from another user that lead
me to the links to Marketing Research sites.

I'm not surprised the schools don't sell their student information;
certainly that would violate privacy in one way or another.  I'm
unable to find any lists for sale, but you could do it yourself if you
have the patience.  Do a search on Google.com for @law.miami.edu. 
Haven't looked through them yet, but the simple search yields almost
8000 results.  You'd need to go through each one, but it would build a
list whose entries were current.

Please excuse if this comment is too dumb, but could you find out the
sequence of mailbox numbers at the individual schools and address the
mail to "occupant"....??

I just posted a similar to answer to someone else looking for email
lists.

A good place to start is with a list broker.  You won't pay any extra
for using
a list broker -- they receive a commission straight from the list
owner -- and you'll get their expertise of the list market.  Any
decent broker should be able to help you navigate the market and find
this very specific list for you.
 
Google's category listing is at:
http://directory.google.com/Top/Business/Marketing/Direct_Marketing/Mailing_Lists/?tc=1

Someone I've used (and like) is Mark Aaron at aaronlist@comcast.net or
800-470-LIST.

scottso-ga gave me the best answer.. that is exactly what I was
looking for. I already received a quote from a few different companies
that were listed there.

Thank you
