What Do Law Schools Look For?

Law schools are looking for well-rounded individuals who are highly motivated to study law. They will pay particular attention to:

• GPA
• LSAT test score
• Undergraduate curriculum
• Graduate work, if any
• Improvement in grades and grade distribution
• Difficulties you have overcome
• Extracurricular activities
• Community volunteerism
• Letters of recommendation
• Personal statement
• Work experience
• State of residency
• Writing Skills

Credential Assembly Service Centralized Application

Almost all ABA-approved law schools and several non-ABA-approved schools require that their applicants register for the Credential Assembly Service (CAS). The Law School Admissions Council (LSAC) administers CAS, as well as the LSAT.

Dean's Certification Forms:

While all law schools do not require a Dean's Certification Form, keep in mind that these forms should be submitted before the application deadline. To submit a form, provide a copy of the form along with a short letter indicating where it is to be sent with your name and student identification number to the Pre-Law Advisor at the address below. You must provide a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the law school.
