Admissions Information New York Law School receives close to 4,000 applications annually from prospective law students from this country and from abroad. In reviewing this number of applications our goal is to enroll our entering class approximately 470 each year. Required New York Law School's application form is easy to complete and is structured to be modular, affording applicants an optional second part. The personal statement is also optional, although strongly encouraged.
Letters of recommendation are optional.
We believe that permitting the applicant to make some choices about what to submit in the application package will enable us to obtain a fuller picture of the individual's qualities, in a manner that allows the applicant to determine the material that best conveys the relevant information. New York Law School requires that all students who enroll in the J.D. program must have earned a Bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. institution, or from an accredited foreign institution whose program has been deemed by the World Education Service to be comparable to that of a four-year baccalaureate degree in the United States. Students in their senior year of college may apply for admission and may receive a letter of admission prior to completion of their undergraduate programs, but such admission is contingent upon the successful completion of the Bachelor's degree. The Admissions Process New York Law School has a rolling admissions process, so that decisions generally are made within several weeks of the completion of the application file. Applicants are encouraged to submit their applications as early as possible, to expedite the decision-making process.
