The applicant's undergraduate grade point
average (UGPA) and the LSAT score are two
important factors in determining admission
to the School of Law.
Also considered are other factors that
indicate an ability to successfully complete
the requirements for a Juris Doctor degree
including: graduate degree, work experience,
involvement in undergraduate extra-curricular
activities, rigor of undergraduate courses,
community involvement, life experiences
and other appropriate considerations. Each
application is reviewed on an individual
basis.
The Admissions Committee releases decisions
from December through July of each year.
Most decisions are mailed in March and April,
or, for applications submitted late in the
process, 6 - 8 weeks after file completion.
Applicants are notified promptly by U.S.
Mail when a decision has been reached.
Applicants improve opportunities for favorable
decisions and scholarship consideration
by applying early.
Roger Williams University School of Law
is committed to establishing
a diverse
student population and encourages members
of minority groups, women and other traditionally
under-represented groups in the legal profession
to apply for admission.
