2008 Admissions Timeline
Early Decision Program Information
The University of Cincinnati College of Law has recently implemented an Early Decision Program. The Early Decision Program was designed for students who have researched their legal education options and have decided by December 1 the University of Cincinnati College of Law is their first choice. Students who desire to participate in the Early Decision Program must complete and submit the application form and the supplemental Early Decision Program form found here by December 1. In addition, students must take the LSAT by October 2007 and have all required documentation to LSDAS by the December 1 deadline. Students will be notified of the Admissions Committee's decision by January 15. If you are offered admission under the Early Decision Program, you must withdraw all other law school applications, as it is a binding process.
Regular Admissions Information
For students who apply through our Regular Admission process, admissions decisions are made on a rolling basis by the Admissions Committee when sufficient applications are complete in order to start the review process. The Admissions Committee continues to evaluate application files until late spring. Every applicant will receive a decision letter (accept, wait list, deny) within four (4) to six (6) weeks of being notified that the applicant's file is complete. The waiting list is established to fill any openings that may occur during the spring and summer.
