Admissions Policies

Admission to Baylor Law School is based on each applicant’s potential to succeed in law school and the legal profession. We also consider the contributions an applicant may make to the Baylor Law community and the profession.

GPA and LSAT scores are important, but we consider each application as a whole. Our review includes your personal statement, letters of recommendation, résumé, optional statements, and interview notes.

We also want to learn about your motivation to study law, work experience, career goals, academic achievements, leadership, community involvement, and background. We consider challenges you have overcome as well as skills and experiences that may shape your legal education. These may include bilingual abilities, advocacy experience, or technical training.

The Admissions Committee wants to know what you will bring to Baylor Law and how your experiences and perspective will contribute to our community.
