This is a very complicated question, the short answer to which is that your GPA / LSAT data will probably account for 80-90% of your chances of admission at any given school. These things vary by school, of course, and it is obviously artificial to speak in terms of percentages. The point, though, is that your GPA and LSAT score will form the core of your law school application. Most people would say that your grades are slightly more important that your LSAT score.

Each year the admissions committee sets goals for the future entering class. For the Entering Class of 2008, the LSAT 25th percentile goal is 149 and 3.0 GPA. The more competitive candidates will submit an averaged LSAT score that meets the 25th percentile goal or higher. Those who do not meet these goals are generally delayed or denied.

LSAT scores are just one piece of information considered by Indiana CLEO. In order to receive your scores in time, we recommend applicants take the LSAT no later than December of the year before the student will begin law classes. No. LSAT scores and grades are considered, but there is no specific requirement. LSAT scores and grade point averages sufficient to warrant admission to an Indiana law school are acceptable.

We do not have a specific cut-off point. However, these two factors are very important when we review a student's application. Other factors we consider include the personal statement, work experience, volunteer experiences, life experience, internships and letters of recommendation.

No; only undergraduate grade point averages are used to calculate your GPA. However, you may submit an official transcript from your graduate school and we will examine it when we review your file. LSDAS calculates your undergraduate grade point average (UGPA). This will include grades from all undergraduate course work earned towards your first undergraduate degree.

GPA is only one of a number of factors considered by law schools during the admissions process. Admissions officers recognize that a number of factors can contribute to a low undergraduate GPA that do not necessarily reflect on a student's ability to succeed in law school. A high LSAT score and a strong record of volunteer service or extra-curricular activities, combined with an effective personal statement and solid letters of recommendation will often offset a low GPA.

The very minute you find yourself asking this question more than occasionally. More than most professions, the law requires a total commitment of body, mind and soul just to keep afloat. The moment you realize that "burnout" is more than just a rare occurrence, that you hate getting up in the morning and facing another day in the office, or that you are rushing through client assignments just to get them off of your desk, it's time to get counseling.

You need to be aware of a sobering reality: admission to a health professions school is a highly competitive process. This means, of course, that these schools will draw candidates from the high end of the GPA range. Consider these statistics. The most common GPA for applicants admitted to medical schools nationwide, for example, is 3.75. At Upstate Medical University, the median overall GPA for accepted applicants is around 3.65 (3.57 for the science GPA).

Because we receive so many highly competitive applications and base our decisions on a wide variety of factors, it is very difficult to judge one applicant's chances of admission. Even if we have all of the relevant information for an applicant, admissions decisions are made within the context of the entire applicant pool. Last year, we received almost 6000 applications for 360 spots.

For the incoming class of 2007, 75% have an undergraduate GPA of 3.61 or higher, the median GPA was 3.74, and the median LSAT score was 169.

The College of Law does not establish a minimum LSAT score or GPA for acceptance, but the LSAT score and GPA are important factors that the Admissions Committee weighs in reaching its admission decisions.

Although there is little difference of opinion about major points of sacred law, Muslims from the earliest times have differed about its details. Disagreement regarding detailed prescriptions of sacred law is not blameworthy. Hadiths such as, "A judge who exercises legal judgment and reaches the correct conclusion is rewarded twice; a judge who exercises legal judgment and reaches the incorrect conclusion is rewarded once," anticipate and accept differences of opinion.
