We seek students with strong academic records established during their undergraduate years and, where applicable, through graduate study. We use a holistic admissions process that considers not only your undergraduate GPA and LSAT scores, but also your work and life experiences, extracurricular activities, and community involvement. We require a personal statement and suggest and welcome up to three letters of recommendation. We welcome diversity and encourage women and ethnic minority members to apply. All applicants who are not admitted are considered for the Trial Admissions Program (TAP), which recognizes potential for success in law school despite an uncompetitive UGPA or LSAT score.<\/h1>","page_content":"<h1>Follow these steps to begin the application process.<\/h1>\r\n<h5>Take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).<\/h5>\r\n<p>The LSAT, required testing for applicants, is administered throughout the country in June, September\/October, December, and February.
