The Office of Admissions will begin accepting applications on September 15, 2007.
Candidates must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) usually no later than February 2008.
Once a file is complete, you will be notified by mail. Completed applications are reviewed on a rolling basis beginning in January. Most applicants can expect a decision within six to ten weeks after their file is complete. Other than certain upperclass transfer/visiting applicants, all students must begin their legal studies in the fall.
Only the application form must be postmarked on or before the deadlines above. All other materials may be received after. Please remember, however, applications will only be completed and reviewed once we have received all required materials.
