What factors are considered in admission e.g. how much weight is given to LSAT/GPA, etc?
The LSAT and the cumulative GPA are very important in the admissions process. There is no specific weight given to either score, nor is there a numerical index applied to the two scores. In addition to those two factors, the Admissions Committee reviews your file in it’s entirety with particular attention to your writing skill, thus your LSAT writing sample and personal statement are very important. Your resume and letters of recommendation are key factors as well. The Committee is looking for applicants who are able to communicate ideas with precision, both orally and in writing, and those who have developed the ability to think creatively. Lastly, the length of time you spent in college; the difficulty of your major; the number of hours worked during your undergraduate studies, unusual achievement, honors/awards, and completion of graduate work also factor in to the admissions decision.
