What are the most important factors the Admissions Committee look for when reviewing applications?
Applicants should recognize that Law School Admission Test (LSAT) scores and undergraduate GPAs are important factors in the admission process. However, numbers alone might not entirely reflect an applicant’s ability to succeed in the study of the law, enhance the law school’s educational environment, and deliver legal services in a professionally responsible manner after graduation. Therefore, the Admissions Committee will also consider, among other factors, the nature and difficulty of the applicant’s course of undergraduate studies; the applicant’s entire undergraduate record, including ascending or descending trends in achievement; graduate work or degrees; significant extracurricular activities while an undergraduate or graduate student; community activities; work experience; and personal obstacles that may have interfered with the realization of the applicant’s full potential and personal achievements.
