Law School Application Deadlines
First and foremost, have you taken the LSAT exam? If you haven’t you just missed the October LSAT exam sign up date.
The next most important item prospective law students need to be aware of are the upcoming law school application deadlines (to start in the 2009-10 academic year). Lawschoolreference.com has a decent list of the application deadlines for the Top 100 law schools in the country. It is not 100% accurate but it will give you an idea of the ballpark range you have to get your law school applications in.
It is absolutely vital that you don’t wait to the latest possible date to send your application in. Your odds are much better if your application is one of the first the school receives. Early in the process, there is less competition and admissions folks have less of an idea of what is to come - so do yourself the favor and get your law school application in early this year.
