What criteria does the Admissions Committee use to evaluate applications?
In evaluating applications, the Admissions Committee relies on (1) the completed application form, (2) the report of LSAT scores, (3) undergraduate GPA and transcripts received from LSDAS, (4) personal essay(s), and (5) personal recommendations. They accord substantial consideration to (6) special qualities such as motivation, undergraduate program, diversity in economic, social, or cultural background, employment or other experience, leadership, and perseverance in overcoming personal handicaps or disadvantages. (7) Graduate level work is also considered. The Admissions Committee is also seeking evidence of character, leadership, and diversity, which are the hallmarks of the Colorado Law student body.
