The committee will grant such review on an individual basis if medical confirmation is provided. The Law School's general policy favoring diversity in the student body may mean that the life experiences and backgrounds of some disabled applicants are viewed by the Admissions Committee as positive factors in the admissions decision process. All of the Law School's facilities are physically accessible to individuals with disabilities. Some applicants choose to take the LSAT more than once. We require this if the prior test was taken more than four years before expected law school enrollment.
Primary weight is given to the more recent score if the earlier one is more than two years old.
We know that, on average, some gains can be expected on a repeat. Research suggests that the best prediction from multiple scores is obtained by averaging them, where possible, and we use the average as a starting place unless the age of the score or other special factors suggest doing otherwise. Accepted applicants will be asked whether they plan to attend. The Law School depends on prompt and candid answers in order to continue its policy of not requiring a deposit to hold a place in the entering class, but does not require an answer from any accepted applicants earlier than April 1. Accepted applicants, who indicate that they will attend, will receive further directions from the Admissions Office during the summer regarding registration procedures.
