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.

The computer system will not automatically pick up a repeated course. When the repeated class has been graded, submit a completed Repeat Form to Enrollment Services. The original grade remains on the record and the lower graded course is marked as a repeated course. The highest grade received will be used to calculate the cumulative grade point average. A course taken or repeated at another institution must be transferred to SLCC before a repeat can be processed.

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.

Admitted applicants decline, usually for personal reasons; or, we withdraw the offer for not fulfilling all of the requirements for admission. For example: financial issues, personal issues, or medical issues sometimes prevent an applicant from accepting an offer. Every year some applicants are also administratively canceled. This could be for failing a prerequisite, not completing all the prerequisites, or not submitting documents or other verification materials required by the University.

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.

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.

Twenty-nine percent are students of color, and five percent of the student body are members of under-represented minority groups

The goal for the entering class changes each year. For the entering class of 2005, the admissions office is planning for 150 full time day students and 50 part time evening students. Full time day students are generally divided into two sections.

Our admission process is a very personal one; all of our applicants are considered on an individual basis and there are no minimum requirements for testing or grades. In addition, every school system computes GPA and class rank in a different manner, so these are not accurate measures for our needs. Instead, we will carefully consider your course selection and your grades in school preparatory subjects.

You should fill out a "Repetition form" after repeating the course or courses - available in your major department or advisor's office.

It will be extremely difficult. This internship is very intensive. Interns average about 40-50 hours per week. Interns are required to spend 35-40 hours per week at their placement site. In addition, interns are expected to attend education sessions and skills trainings. If you feel that you can handle a class on top of what is required of you as an intern, then it is up to you to make arrangements with the program and the placement site to work around your class schedule.

It is extremely important to prepare the best you can for your first attempt at the LSAT because substantial increases in scores are rare. However, the admissions committee will review all LSAT scores.**
