Our Admissions Committee thoroughly reviews every application to understand the strengths, skills and unique potential of each prospective student. A sound academic record – your undergraduate history and LSAT scores – is important, of course. No specific undergraduate discipline is required, but you must have completed or be on track to complete your undergraduate studies prior to enrollment.

In addition to your academics, the committee will carefully examine your personal statement and letters of recommendation looking for evidence of writing skills, leadership experience and potential, service to the community and commitment to the mission of the School of Law. All information you submit is considered and we encourage you to be thorough and straightforward. We want to make sure that the University of St. Thomas School of Law is a good fit for you, and that you are a good fit for the School of Law.

You must submit a complete admissions application by July 1, but with an ever-increasing pool of applicants and a rolling admission process, you are encouraged to apply as early as possible. The committee prefers not to consider LSAT scores that are more than three years old and will not consider a score that is more than five years old.

If you have questions about any aspect of the admissions process or if you want to schedule a visit or a tour, contact the Office of Admissions.
