Are applications submitted on my behalf by educational consultants or third-party advisors accepted?
Applications submitted by third-party advisors or educational consultants are strongly discouraged, with the exception of applications from Fulbright or other scholarship organizations. Such applications do not in any way enhance the applicant’s chances for admission to Graduate Legal Studies at Columbia Law School; in fact, unless submitted through Fulbright or another scholarship organization, they may hinder an applicant’s chances or render the application incomplete, as we have no way of verifying that the application is indeed the work of the applicant. The Office of Graduate Legal Studies requests that all application materials be submitted by the applicant directly, and requires that all inquiries regarding the status of an applicant’s file be communicated by the applicant. We will not report on an applicant’s status to a third-party advisor.
