What do I need to apply?

You should have (or will have by August) an undergraduate degree, a personal statement, have taken or be registered to take the LSAT, registered for the LSDAS, and the application fee. Letters of recommendation and a resume are optional, but encouraged.

When should I take the LSAT?

LSAT scores are reported from Law Services for five years; however, the LSAT is usually taken either the summer before or during the fall of the undergraduate senior year. It is recommendeded that the test be taken no later than December.

LSAT scores from exams taken in June prior to the first semester of enrollment will be considered, but due to the lateness of the application in the admissions season, it is likely that few seats may remain available. Applicants hoping to gain admission based on a June test result should be aware that they will not have the same chance for success that they might have had with an earlier review.

What LSAT score do I need?

The admission committee looks at all factors; there is no minimum required score. The median and percentiles are on the entering class profile page.

How do I apply for scholarships?

There is no seperate application for Law School awarded scholarships. All admitted students files are reviewed for scholarship.
