Does applying early help the applicant?
No file is reviewed before it is complete (all materials are received by the Admissions Office — application, domicile affidavit, application fee, resume, personal statement, LSDAS report with LSAT score and two letters of recommendation). Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, beginning in November. Typically decisions are communicated between December and May.
A. We review applications on a rolling basis, beginning in November and running to our February 15 application deadline. Offers of admission and of scholarship support are awarded on an on-going basis. Those who apply at or near the February 15 deadline will thus be considered after the majority of admissions offers have been made. As such, applying early in the admission cycle is advisible.
