Admissions

GENERAL INFORMATION

Except for students in the "3/3 Program" described later, applicants must have completed all requirements for a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution prior to the date of enrolling in the Law School.

All applicants must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) administered by the Law School Admission Services.

Admission is based on the applicant's undergraduate grade-point average and his or her LSAT test score. In a small percentage of cases involving Arkansas residents only, additional criteria such as
ethnicity, vocational or professional experience, graduate work, and progressive improvement in college work are considered by the faculty Admissions Committee.

There is no predetermined satisfactory grade-point average or law school admission test score. Admission is on a selective basis.

While admissions personnel are happy to answer any questions that an applicant may have, the interview as a device for the applicant to "sell" herself or himself is not a part of the admissions process. The Admissions Committee works only with the written materials in an applicant's file.
