• Transfer & Visiting Application Dates and Deadlines: Fall - The application opens on April 1, and the application is due by July 1

Review of Applications

The review of an application begins only once it is complete. Early application is advised, as this allows for possible delays in processing by the Law School Admissions Council and ensures that all required materials are available for viewing on the applicant's CAS Report by the posted deadlines.

Applications must be submitted electronically via the LSAC website. The LSAT Writing Sample is a required component of the application and must be available for viewing on the applicant's CAS Report by the posted deadlines. Applications will not be evaluated for admission without the LSAT Writing Sample.
