IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroduction

DePaul University derives its title and fundamental mission from St. Vincent de Paul, who advocated serving urgent human

needs and ennobling the dignity of each person. When admitting students to the College of Law, we place greatest weight on

intellectual potential and academic achievement. We also seek diversity in students' special talents, qualities, interests and

socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Having students with different interests, goals, life experiences, and backgrounds is

critical in order to ensure the robust exchange of ideas that is called for in training lawyers and potential leaders. Toward this

end, we seek a student body that exhibits outstanding academic and professional promise with varied backgrounds and

experience.

DePaul University College of Law also is committed to improving the legal community by educating students who will serve

the public and legal profession in ways that enhance the social, economic, cultural and ethical values in the broader

community.

DePaul University has a nondiscriminatory admission policy. Under this policy, no person shall be the object of discrimination

or harassment on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin,

age, marital status, pregnancy, parental status, family relationship status, physical or mental disability, military status, genetic

information or other status protected by local, state, or federal law in its employment or its educational settings.

Admission PolicyAdmission PolicyAdmission PolicyAdmission Policy

Admission to DePaul University College of Law is competitive. We consider numerous factors in evaluating each applicant,

including undergraduate academic performance, Law School Admission Test (LSAT) or Graduate Record Exam (GRE)

scores, advanced degrees, professional work experience, writing ability, potential for leadership, professional and academic

recommendations, and the student's special talents, qualities, interests, and socioeconomic and cultural background. No

single factor is dispositive when determining admission.

Personal qualities that demonstrate intellectual depth, high ideals and diligence also are considered, as are economic,

societal or educational obstacles that have been successfully overcome. Diversity in background and experience among the

members of each entering class is a continuing objective. Having a diverse student body allows us to encourage and foster

the exchange of different ideas. In addition, a candidate's prior relations with the DePaul University community and her or his

potential for furthering DePaul's institutional goals are considered.

Last year, approximately 2,000 candidates applied for 150 seats in the full-time day program and 25 seats in the evening

program. Because applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, early application is highly recommended, especially for those

who desire merit scholarship and financial aid consideration. For first-year applicants with no previous law school credit,

admission is granted only for the fall semester. First-year applicants should ensure that their application and all necessary

documents are on file in the Office of Law Admissions prior to the suggested deadline of April 1.

Prospective applicants who have received their baccalaureate degrees from accredited institutions or who have, or will have,

received degrees prior to July of the year for which admission is sought are eligible to apply. In no event will anyone who has

yet to receive a baccalaureate degree be permitted to enroll in the College of Law. No specific fields of study are prescribed

at the baccalaureate level.

jurisdiction. Applicants are encouraged to determine the requirements for any jurisdiction in which they intend to seek

Bar Examiners.

The American Bar Association requires that law schools advise each applicant that state bar requirements deal with the

character and fitness of an applicant at the time he or she seeks certification to register for admission to the bar. It further

allows the law school to seek information on character and fitness to ensure that appropriate law school qualifications are

met. The following questions are representative of areas of inquiry made by bar authorities in most states and must be
