Applying to Law School

Application Timeline

 Study for the LSAT (at least 3-6 months)

Most people require lots of time to practice and be ready to take the LSAT. We recommend studying at least 1-2 hours a day for 3-6 months. A competitive score will get you into the law school you would like to attend and access to more scholarships and grants.

  Take the LSAT

Take LSAT with enough time to apply October-December a year earlier than you want to start law school. 

  Work on your Personal Statement, Resume and any other Supplemental Essays

Each law school has different requirements. Check each of their websites for information.

  Application Opens

Most law schools open their applications late summer through fall.
