Persyaratan masuk bagi mahasiswa internasional

Depending on which law school a student applies to, as few as twenty five percent of all applicants will be accepted into law school. Among matriculated students at the Southern Illinois University School of Law for 2005, the median undergraduate grade point average was a 3.4 (on a 4.0 scale), and the median LSAT score was a 154. The Law School Admissions Test is a standardized test required by all accredited law schools as a condition for admission. At most law schools, the LSAT score is the single most important factor in determining whether a student is admitted. The test consists of logical reasoning, analytical puzzles, reading comprehension, and a writing sample. The LSAT is given four times a year – June, October, December, and February – and is administered by a company called The Law School Admissions Council (LSAC). A student interested in law school should take the LSAT during his/her junior year. If a student takes the LSAT more than once, most law schools will average the student’s scores. Some law schools, however, will take the most recent score. Currently, the SIU School of Law will use the highest score.
