The LSAT is a standard three-hour examination with focus on reading comprehension, reasoning, and analytic skills. There is also a writing sample. The undergraduate grade point average and the LSAT score remain the most important determinants for law school admission. Many schools will also consider significant experiences, including overseas study and internships. Admission to law school continues to be very competitive.
Most law schools admit students only at the beginning of the fall semester.
Prospective law school students need to start the process early in their senior year to meet the admission deadlines. Some schools require letters of recommendation. Select endorsers who have had you in class and can specifically comment on skills such as writing and analytic ability which will be beneficial in law. Be sure to give references adequate lead time to meet deadlines. There is no specified pre-law program according to law schools.
