Procedures
Admission decisions are based on the evaluation of each applicant's potential for success in law school and in the legal profession and the extent to which the applicant's background offers a unique contribution to a diverse educational environment in the College of Law. To this end, the Admissions Committee has authority over all matters pertaining to admissions.
Admission to the College of Law is a competitive process and applications with the strongest records are given priority. A majority of admissions decisions are made primarily on the basis of combining LSAT scores with undergraduate grades. In addition, the personal statement, resume, recommendation letters and strength of undergraduate program are reviewed for all applicants.
The Committee seeks a talented and diverse student body and also takes into consideration factors such as applicant's graduate study, significant activities of leadership, unique work or service experience, life experiences, history of overcoming economic or other social hardships, and similar distinguishing factors.
