Law Admissions Advice

Choosing Law as a Career

Law school is a serious academic, financial, and personal commitment and should be approached with confidence and 100%+ effort. Although returning students who have been in the workforce for a few years may face lifestyle changes, as professionals they have matured and developed skills which are likely to be helpful in law school (e.g. time management and career navigation). Think this decision through thoroughly and be prepared to be fully engaged.

Preparing for Law School as an Undergraduate

  • Important dates to consider
  • Work on your personal statement and finalize your recommendations.
  • Apply Early - Submit your application by Thanksgiving or early December of your senior year to avoid getting caught up in the holiday delays.
