What are the basic requirements for admission to law school?
A bachelor’s degree without any qualification as to courses or major is all that is required. You will have to take the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT). However, law school admissions is very competitive and you will need a high grade point average and a strong score on the LSAT. Law schools will also consider, to a much lesser degree: the personal statement, letters of recommendation,* undergraduate institution, grade trends, difficulty of undergraduate courses, work experience, graduate degrees, extracurricular activities, and writing skill ( as exhibited by the personal statement and LSAT writing sample). *It is essential that you establish ties with faculty members early in your academic career so that they can write strong letters of recommendation for you.
