Admissions website: www.law.georgetown.edu/admissions-aid/ Dean Cornblatt discusses this unprecedented year in law school admissions on MSNBC Morning Joe Georgetown Law is one of the most prestigious law schools in the United States and receives the most applications from any other law school in the country. Located in the nation`s capital, Georgetown Law offers unique learning experiences for students who are able to witness and participate in active legal affairs and legislation at the highest level. Law school is also quite selective, with an acceptance rate of 12.9%, so it`s a good idea to speak to a law counselor or admissions counselor to get feedback on your application. In this blog, we look at the available programs, admission requirements, and selection factors at Georgetown Law, as well as important information about tuition, deadlines, admission information, and everything else you need to know to apply to Georgetown Law. Regular action: All files are reviewed and decisions are made on an ongoing basis. Therefore, we encourage applicants to complete their paperwork as soon as possible. Please note that the early decision process is binding and applicants applying for an advance ruling at Georgetown cannot submit a binding application to another law school. Although applicants admitted under Early Decision have committed to attending Georgetown and do not receive their financial support information prior to their admission decision, you can be sure that you will be considered for merit scholarships and need-based financial aid in the same manner and within the same timeframe as all other students admitted. Applicants can apply through LSAC through an advance ruling or a regular admissions decision.
Visiting students are full-time or part-time students enrolled in other ABA-accredited law programs who are eligible to take 8 or more credits in Georgetown Law courses that are not offered at their home law school. Admission decisions are made on a continuous admission basis, so it is best to apply as early as possible. Schools that offer an emergency room admission plan appear to have an almost certain fact that the approved candidate will attend. [2] As a result, the return of admission is increased by the admission of a greater number of students in the ED phase. [3] The emergency process schedule also helps admissions offices spread the work of reviewing applications over a longer period of the academic year. [4] A number of schools that had environmental assessment plans recently added contingency plans to environmental assessment (Chicago and Tulane from class of 2021, Virginia from class of 2024[5]) or moved to emergency and abandoned environmental assessment (Boston College from class of 2024[6]). Candidates are strongly advised to apply early. Especially for the regular action cycle, we recommend that you submit all available application documents as soon as possible, even if you are waiting for your law transcript. If you submit your Regular Action Application earlier and then submit your Law Transcript once all of your first-year grades are available, our office can complete your application documents more quickly.
As we have a continuous admission system, it is to your advantage to complete your application as early as possible in the application cycle.

Yes, and we strongly recommend that you complete your application as early as possible in the admission cycle. Admission to Georgetown Law is ongoing, so it`s wise to apply as early as possible and complete your application before the pool of candidates grows.

Otherwise, admission decisions are sent in the spring of each application cycle. For more information on early action and admission by regular decision, visit the school`s website. Admission rates for “early” applicants tend to be higher than the institution`s overall admission rates; This is especially true for the most selective universities. This is generally attributed to three factors: first, applicants who apply “early” can only submit their transcripts to colleges until the end of the first year of high school and must therefore be particularly strong candidates with very convincing transcripts; Second, applicants who apply “early” have dedicated themselves to an institution and are more likely to meet the institution`s admission standards; Third, student-athletes sometimes apply “early” to their best elective school to demonstrate their commitment to a varsity coach, who in turn can advance their applications through the admissions process. Some counselors suggest that making an early decision is the best choice for students who have clearly chosen a particular college.
[41] Apply early! Georgetown Law has an ongoing admissions process, which means it`s to your advantage to apply as early as possible. Georgetown Law does not consider numerical limits for your GPA or LSAT results, so there is no minimum to meet. Georgetown Law uses a holistic approach to admissions so that every part of your application is considered. Therefore, it is important to submit a strong overall application and highlight your diverse experiences and backgrounds to stand out from the crowd. For more information on important dates and current dates for Georgetown`s information sessions and open houses, please contact the admissions office. Due to our ongoing admissions process, we strongly recommend that you complete the GMAT, GRE or LSAT no later than September. We still accept a subsequent LSAT, GMAT or GRE test, but please note that due to our ongoing intake process, it is more beneficial to take a test earlier. When you apply for early action, you have several choices: allow, postpone or refuse. If you are refused admission, you will not be reconsidered as part of the regular promotion with additional grades (and you will not be able to submit a new application). If you receive a deferral from the regular promotion, the committee will review your file again after receiving your spring semester grades. Early Decision (ED) or Early Acceptance is a common policy used in university admissions in the United States to admit first-year students into undergraduate programs. It is used to indicate to the university or college that the applicant considers that institution to be their first choice.
