J.D. Admissions
Applying to law school is an exciting - and challenging endeavor. There is a lot to do, and a lot of information to absorb. Please contact our admissions office if you need any help with the process.
You may submit your application starting September 1 of each year. Our priority deadline is February 1. Our early action deadline is November 1. We have a rolling admissions process so we encourage you to apply early. As a first year student, you are only eligible to enter law school in the fall semester.
We accept applicants on the basis of their
- college records
- LSAT score
- information contained in the application forms
- personal statements
- optional letters of recommendation
- and any other information provided
However, we attempt to avoid taking a mechanical approach to admissions. We look for non quantitative data such as life experience, the selection of academic courses, improvement in the undergraduate academic program, graduate work, employment in law-related fields, maturity, and a variety of other factors. It is the function of our Admissions Committee to uncover students who show the capacity to become good lawyers.
