Application for Admission

The Columbus School of Law seeks the widest possible diversity in its student body and solicits applicants from all parts of the country and from all professional, religious and racial/ethnic backgrounds. Our goal is to matriculate students who will excel academically and contribute to the ethical advancement of the legal profession. Entering classes typically are composed of approximately 300 students, selected from roughly 3,500 applications per year.

Admissions decisions are determined primarily on the basis of the applicant's undergraduate GPA and performance on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).  In addition, applicants may be judged on the basis of special leadership qualities, performance in particular courses, evidence of improving performance, relevant work experience, evidence of strong motivation, potential for contributing to the diversity of the law school, performance in graduate school, strong letters of recommendation from those who have a basis for judging the applicant's ability to succeed in law school, and the academic standards of the student's undergraduate school.
