Applicants must file the online application and arrange for required materials to arrive to the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) by the deadline. 

You may apply only once, and to only one program of study, in the annual admission cycle (September through June). Our holistic, comparative review process does not give preference based on the date a candidate applies or when their materials are first reviewed. 

We are unable to make any guarantees regarding applications submitted after the deadline or when required materials arrive late to LSAC.
