How to apply

Entry requirements for Loyola University of Chicago

You must submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended through LSAC?s CAS. We require one letter of recommendation, which you can submit through LSAC. Your recommender should address your ability to successfully complete law studies. All applicants must take the LSAT, which is administered by LSAC several times a year. We will consider your highest score from the past 5 years. We want to know your motivation for continuing your schooling, your career aspirations, and how you believe our program will help you meet your goals. Your two-page statement can be submitted through the online application. A current resume or curriculum vitae can be uploaded through the online application. You must complete all questions in the character and fitness section of the application. If you answer affirmatively to any questions, you must provide a detailed explanation or your application will be considered incomplete. If you completed any postsecondary work outside of the United States or Canada (except for study abroad coursework), regardless of the language of the instruction or transcript, you must submit your transcripts through the LSAC Credential Assembly Service Authentication and Evaluation. The minimum acceptable total score on the Internet-Based Test (IBT) of the TOEFL exam is 100. The minimum acceptable total score on the IELTS exam is 7.0. An applicant for admission must ordinarily hold (or receive prior to matriculation) a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution. In addition, because academic qualifications are of major importance, the applicant ordinarily must have achieved a grade point average of at least 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. If you have non-U.S. educational credentials, you are required to submit your official education credentials (e.g., transcripts, mark sheets, degree certificates, graduation diplomas) and evaluation fee directly to any NACES member companies.
