Entry requirements

Law School Admission: no required undergraduate courses or majors; a bachelor's degree is required before beginning first-year study. Applicants register with the LSAC Credential Assembly Service and submit an LSAT score (an LSAT waiver is available to recent UNL graduates meeting the stated ACT/SAT and class-rank or GPA criteria), a personal statement, two letters of recommendation and transcripts from all postsecondary institutions. Fall applications are accepted September 1 to March 1 on a rolling basis.
