Application Procedures
3. Entering Juris Doctor Applicants
You have one method available to apply to the Levin College of Law. UF Law requires that candidates use the UF Law LSAC electronic application process. Applicants will be sent an e-mail acknowledgement within two weeks of applying. Only call if you have not received an e-mail acknowledgement of your application.
Do not include writing samples, pictures, CDs, audio cassettes or videotapes, etc., as part of the application. Candidates are required to keep a copy of their application for their personal use.
UF LAW LSAC ELECTRONIC APPLICATION
All applicants (entering juris doctor, transfer/visitor) are required to use this process. Note the separate application/supplemental forms for each type of applicant.
LSAC electronic applicants are responsible for all information presented under "Admissions" on the Levin College of Law Web site (www.law.ufl.edu), and in the 2007-2008 LSAT/LSDAS Information Book (www.lsac.org). On the application forms, the Levin College of Law will consider your LSAC Electronic signature as your official signature. See electronic signature boxes on page 4, and Information Card.
CAUTION: Saving your LSAC electronic application does not formally submit the application.
ENTERING JURIS DOCTOR APPLICANTS ONLY
PRIORITY APPLICANT POOL
To insure that an application receives
full consideration, it is essential that the applicant meet the deadline for becoming part of the Priority Pool.
- Application Deadline – January 15, 2008, for Fall 2008.
- LSAT test deadline – no later than December of 2007 for fall 2008; February LSAT is not used for fall 2008 admissions decisions.
- File completion deadline for Priority Pool – March 1, 2008. Priority Pool files not complete by March 1 will automatically be carried forward to the Secondary Pool and be part of the Secondary Pool from that point forward.
- Priority Pool decision timing – Barring unforeseen circumstances, Priority Pool applicants will have their decision by late March to early April.
- Priority Pool Financial Aid (merit & need based scholarships, grants) – Admits from the Priority Pool will have priority for all UF based scholarships and grants. All specific financial aid deadlines must be met.
SECONDARY APPLICANT POOL
All Secondary Pool applicants, including incomplete applicants carried
forward from the Priority Pool, will not be considered until all applicants from the Priority Pool have been considered.
Because it is possible that the fall 2008 entering class will be filled from the Priority Pool, it is possible that Secondary Pool applicants will only be considered for placement on the fall 2008 wait list, not for direct fall 2008 admission.
- Secondary Pool filing deadline – May 1, 2008 for fall 2008.
- File completion deadline for Secondary Pool – May 15 for fall 2008. Please note, however, that all required admissions materials should be received by UF Law Admissions by May 1, 2008. FILES THAT BECOME COMPLETE AFTER MAY 1, 2008, ARE UNLIKELY TO RECEIVE FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION.
- Secondary Pool Decision Timing – between April 1 and June 15.
- Secondary Pool Financial Aid – Secondary Pool applicants must meet the in-hand May 15 filing deadline for all financial aid materials (same as for all required Admissions materials).
Because priority in awarding financial aid is given to Priority Pool admits, successful Secondary Pool applicants may only be placed on financial aid alternate lists.
