Application fee waived for 2015 J.D. applicants

Chicago-Kent is committed to maintaining the diverse community that has been one of its strengths since its founding more than a century ago. Each admissions file is individually reviewed and the Admissions Committee takes a holistic view of each applicant's qualifications. Decisions are based on a range of factors, including quantitative and qualitative criteria. In addition to the GPA and LSAT, consideration is also given to non-numerical factors such as the nature and rigor of the undergraduate curriculum, writing ability, graduate work, professional experience, extracurricular activities, diversity, and the personal statement.

First-year applicants may apply for entry in the fall semester. Students who have enrolled for at least one year at another ABA-approved law school may apply for transfer admission for either the fall or spring semester. Applicants who hold a first degree in law from a non-U.S. law school may apply for admission for the fall semester and may be eligible for advanced standing based on their prior legal study.

We appreciate your interest in Chicago-Kent and look forward to working with you during the admissions process. If you have any questions, you may contact the Office of Admissions staff by phone at (312) 906-5020 or by email at admissions@kentlaw.iit.edu.
