All applicants must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). Applicants who took this test between December 2002 and December 2007 need not take it again, although they must ask the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) to send their scores to Boalt Hall.
LSAT applications and information are available online at www.lsac.org or from the LSAT/LSDAS Registration and Information Book, which may be obtained at:
LSAC
Box 2000, 661 Penn Street
Newtown, PA 18940-0998
Phone: 215-968-1001
Email: lsacinfo@lsac.org
Website: www.lsac.org
The book is also available in the Boalt Hall Admissions Office as well as at other law schools.
Your LSAT registration must be postmarked 30 days before the test date to guarantee acceptance for testing and avoid an additional late registration fee. If you have taken the LSAT more than once, Boalt Hall's general policy is to use your highest score.
When evaluating LSAT scores, the law school considers whether similar tests have underpredicted the applicant's academic performance in the past. If applicants can document that they have received high undergraduate grades but have performed badly on other standardized tests (e.g., by sending the Admissions Office a copy of their SAT scores), this factor may be taken into account in evaluating their potential to succeed in law school.
Waivers for the LSAT fees are available on a financial-need basis directly from LSAC. Additional information is available in the LSAT/LSDAS Registration and Information Book. Applicants should act early to obtain a waiver. A few waivers are also available from the law school. Due to the volume of fee waiver applications received each year, applicants should first apply through LSAC. Applicants may apply for the LSAC waiver online.
GRE
Some of Boalt Hall's advanced and concurrent degree programs require applicants to provide scores from the Graduate Record Exam (GRE). Please check with the programs and schools your are applying to to see if you need to take the GRE. For more information about taking the test, visit the GRE website.
