Credential Assembly Service (CAS) Report

CAS Reports include unofficial transcripts and LSAT scores. We encourage applicants to register with LSAC in the fall; you may register online at www.lsac.org. In order to avoid any delays, it is important that applicants contact LSAC to ensure that all required materials and fees have been received. Learn more about the CAS Report.

LSAT

The Law School Admission Test is required of all applicants to the law school. The test is administered nine times a year - January, February, March, April, June, July, September, October, and November. For Fall 2022 applicants, we will only take into consideration LSAT scores from the June 2017 administration and later. The March LSAT exam will be the last score accepted for Day program applicants and the June LSAT exam will be the last score accepted for Evening program applicants. In regards to multiple LSAT scores, we will take into consideration the highest score. In the case of widely disparate scores, you may attach an addendum explaining the reason for the differential.

*In collaboration with LSAC, the Khan Academy is now offering free LSAT prep. We encourage applicants to utilize this resource prior to sitting for the LSAT. Khan Academy's Free LSAT Prep allows prospective law students to develop a personalized study plan for the LSAT with official practice questions from the maker of the test, the Law School Admissions Council. Visit khanacademy.org/lsat for more information.

GRE

Beginning with the 2019-2020 application cycle, LMU Loyola Law School will accept the LSAT or the GRE for both the JD Day Program and the JD Evening Program.

Applicants must submit all GRE scores from the last five years. Loyola requires that applicants submit all GRE scores if you have taken the exam more than one time, meaning you may not choose which scores to share.

The GRE is offered multiple times in a year. Please visit the ETS website for more information on test dates and requirements. We will only take into consideration GRE scores from the June 2017 administration and later. We strongly recommend applicants sit for the GRE by January 2021 in order to be considered for priority admission. The final GRE test we will accept for the Full-Time JD program is February 24, 2022. The final GRE test we will accept for the Part-Time JD program is June 8, 2022.

Applicants who apply using the GRE instead of the LSAT must use the Education Testing Service (ETS) to send scores to Loyola Law School. All GRE scores from the last 5 years must be reported. The ETS school code for Loyola Law School 3692. Applicants who apply using the GRE are still required to register with LSAC's Credential Assembly Service (CAS). Applicants may contact LSAC at LSAC.org or 215.968.1001 for more information.

Applicants who take both the LSAT and the GRE must submit their LSAT scores, but can choose whether to submit their GRE scores. In this case, the LSAT will be used in determining an admissions decision.

Additionally, applicants must submit the following form with their application submission: Loyola Law School GRE Certification Statement.

Personal Statement

A personal statement is required and assists the Admissions Committee in selecting a highly-qualified and diverse entering class. It is also used to assess each applicant's written English skills. The personal statement provides each applicant with the opportunity to describe his or her interest in law school, the uniqueness of his or her character and experience, and his or her potential to contribute to Loyola's community.

The personal statement should be 2-3 pages in length, double spaced, using no smaller than 10 point font. The personal statement must be the original work of the applicant.

Letter(s) of Recommendation

Only one letter of recommendation is required but we will accept an additional letter for a total of two per application. Letters of recommendation must be submitted via the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service (for more information, visit www.lsac.org).

Letters of recommendation offer insight to a prospective student's potential for law school success and provide information about the candidate that is not reflected in other parts of the application. Letters can comment on the applicant's intellectual capacity, analytic and communication skills, and character traits. Although academic letters are preferred, letters submitted by the candidate's employer or supervisor are accepted. Letters from family members or family friends are strongly discouraged.

Disclosures

Applicants must answer questions #1-9 on the "Disclosures" section of the application. Applicants who answer "yes" to questions #2-9 on the "Disclosures" section must provide a written explanation of their response. Applications with "yes" responses that do not provide written explanations are considered incomplete and will not be reviewed.

The application form requires disclosure of any charge or conviction of any felony or misdemeanor or other offense, with the sole exception of a minor traffic offense. Conviction for DUI (or any other alcohol or drug-related offense) is not a minor traffic offense. Conviction may be a legal consequence of (1) a verdict of guilty after trial by judge or jury, (2) a plea of guilty or (3) a plea of nolo contendere. You must disclose this information even if your record has been sealed or expunged.

Applicants are advised that bar examiners will receive official reports of convictions from law enforcement agencies. Failure to disclose a charge or conviction on this application may result in dismissal from school, revocation of any degree awarded, and the denial of admission to the bar.

Qualifications for Admission to the Bar

In addition to a bar examination, there are character, fitness, and other qualifications for admission to the bar in every U.S. jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek admission by contacting the jurisdiction. Addresses for all relevant agencies are available through the National Conference of Bar Examiners.

Résumé

Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit a résumé. Résumés should not exceed two typed pages and may include: education information (including honors and awards), employment history, extracurricular or community activities, military service, publications, special achievements, etc.
