Admissions

Application Procedures

1. Applicants must take the LSAT and, if applicable, the TOEFL.

All applicants must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Applicants whose native language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).

The LSAT is administered four times a year by the Law School Admissions Council in cooperation with leading law schools throughout the country. College students should take the LSAT at the end of their junior year. Candidates for fall entry must take the LSAT no later than December; however, earlier testing is strongly recommended. The February administration of the LSAT is not used in making fall admissions decisions.

LSAT scores are valid for five years. In the absence of documentation that a candidate was ill, or that some other unusual condition occurred during one of the tests, all LSAT scores are considered. Applicants should discuss score differentiation in the Personal Statement (see No. 3).

Information about the LSAT and the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS) is contained in the 2007-2008 LSAT & LSDAS Information Book, which is available at most colleges, or online at www.lsac.org.
