All applicants must take the LSAT and register with the J.D. Credential Assembly Service (CAS) through the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). You will need your registration "L number" to complete your application and to request an interview.
You must provide a copy of official college transcripts from each college and university you have attended to the CAS. The CAS report sent to law schools will include photocopies of your transcripts, your LSAT score(s), your LSAT writing sample, a transcript analysis, and other information helpful to readers of your application.
We evaluate each application thoroughly and holistically, reflecting our belief that the quality of the educational environment at Vanderbilt Law School benefits from considering a range of information far broader than your GPA and LSAT score.
We use a rolling selection process in which we consider applications roughly in the order received. Note that, while we make decisions on individual applications as quickly as possible, the time required varies from case to case, which ensures that each application receives the individual attention it deserves and allows us to make careful comparisons of applications received at different times.
