Pre-Law Student Calendar

Suggested Planning Guide

Law school requires a major commitment of time and money. Throughout your undergraduate education, focus upon your course work and be very mindful of the importance of excellent grades. All undergraduate grades are counted.

  • Take classes that will develop your reasoning, writing and analytical skills, such as those suggested in the Pre-Law Minor and the Jurisprudence Major.
  • Be sure to maintain a good credit rating, as your ability to obtain financial aid in law school will depend upon it.
  • Many law schools now use “rolling admissions”. This means that they will make admission decisions far ahead of their application deadlines. It is important to prepare your application early, in December of the year in which you intend to apply.
  • Get to know LSAC.org, the essential guide and resource for the law school application process.

This calendar will help you to organize your Pre-Law preparation. Starting as early as your freshman year, the “Pre-Law Student Calendar” will guide you through the law school preparation process.
