PS A personal statement is required of all applicants. You should consider the personal statement to be your interview opportunity with the Admissions Committee. You may want to use the personal statement to explain a particular part of your transcript or application, to elaborate on significant personal or professional accomplishments, or to provide supplemental information that will help the Admissions Committee evaluate your application. The statement should be approximately two to three typewritten pages in length. A résumé may accompany the personal statement. You may also submit an optional essay of no more than one page describing the reasons for your application to Chicago-Kent. CV A résumé may accompany the personal statement. Fee Application fee waived for 2018 first-year J.D. applicants RL Letters of recommendation play a useful role in the selection process, and the Admissions Committee requires all applicants to submit at least one letter. You may submit a maximum of four letters of recommendation with your application. The most helpful letters are written by professors who have taught you in substantive, upper-level college or postgraduate courses and who can provide candid and thoughtful evaluations of your academic ability and potential for the study of law. We realize that some applicants, especially those who have been out of school for a number of years, may have difficulty finding an academic recommender. If that is the case, letters from employers or others who have worked closely with you will be helpful. Transcript All candidates must take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT), register with CAS, and have official transcripts sent directly to LSAC from each undergraduate and graduate institution attended.
