Admission to The School of Law To be considered for admission to the Boston University School of Law, an applicant must have a baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university, or be enrolled in a course of study that will result in the award of such a degree before the commencement of law study. The Admissions Committee expects to receive approximately 4,500 applications for a 1999 entering class of only 320. Standards for admission are therefore necessarily high. The committee places primary emphasis on an applicant's undergraduate record and score on the Law School Admission Test. Economic or social obstacles overcome by an applicant may lead to favorable consideration, as may other kinds of outstanding nonacademic achievements.
