In selecting their students, law school consider a number of factors related to both prior education and life experience.

Undergraduate major is also important. However, there are many degrees outside of a pre-law/political science degree that make for excellent preparation for law school.

What does the application process to law school entail?

The application process to law school is rigorous and acceptance is based on several factors:

  1. Standardized test scores.
  2. Undergraduate performance. Law Schools also factor in the reputation of your undergraduate institution as well as any additional graduate degrees.
  3. Letters of recommendations from professors or persons who can attest to your capacity to be a good law student.
  4. Additional life experience that makes an applicant unique and diverse.
