Admission Standards

The University of Miami School of Law seeks to enroll highly qualified students who will thrive in a collegial and academically rigorous environment and become the next generation of leaders, public servants, and successful practitioners. Miami Law engages in a highly individualized, holistic review of each applicant's file to determine how the applicant will contribute to the law school community and the applicant’s likelihood of academic and professional success. We seek applicants with strong academic credentials, evaluating such factors as educational history; standardized test scores; cumulative undergraduate grade point average; evidence of strong writing and analytical skills; and rigor of undergraduate institution and major. We also seek students who demonstrate a broad range of experiences and perspectives, considering professional background; public service engagement; leadership; strength of character; and extracurricular activities. Miami Law is committed to enrolling a diverse student body and encourages applications from members of all underrepresented groups.
