What criteria do laws schools use to decide who gets admitted?
Every law school is different in regard to the criteria they use. The admission committee at Loyola University Chicago School of Law bases their decision on the LSAT, GPA, and the entire application that an applicant has submitted. The committee will read the application, personal statement, letters of recommendation, transcripts, and a resume should an applicant choose to include one. What qualities and experiences a candidate brings with them also factors into the process for admitting students. It is the Admission Committee’s desire to create a diverse classroom environment.
