The CAS Report, provided by LSAC, contains your official transcripts, LSAT score(s), LSAT Writing sample(s), and letters of recommendation. Official transcript(s) for all post-secondary education, including graduate-level coursework, must be sent directly to LSAC. LSAC will evaluate each transcript and calculate your cumulative undergraduate GPA, but not your GPA for graduate-level coursework. Any graduate-level coursework will be considered subjectively in our review of your application.<\/p><p>The Committee understands that the coronavirus pandemic led to an unprecedented impact on grades for students enrolled in any type of degree program during 2020 and 2021. Applicants will not be penalized for the variety of different grading systems that colleges may have adopted in response to the situation, this includes letter grades, P\/NP, or CR\/NC etc.<\/p><p><a name=\"lsat\"><\/a><\/p><h3>LSAT Score<\/h3><p>To be considered for admission, you may take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). The LSAT is scheduled (in United States) on the following dates for the 2022-23 cycle: June 10-11, 2022; August 12, 2022; September 9, 2022; October 14, 2022; November 11, 2022; January 13, 2023, and February 10, 2023. These dates may be subject to change and should be confirmed at LSAC.org. While there are additional dates after February, they will not be accepted for review for the 2022-2023 application cycle.<\/p><p>Because we admit on a rolling basis, applications not completed by the February 1 priority deadline are at a significant disadvantage. We will not consider any LSAT scores taken after the February 2023 administration for admission in Fall 2023. You may submit your application with a pending LSAT score and we will hold your file until it is complete (i.e., we will not review your application until all LSAT tests for which you have registered have posted, up to and including the February 2023 test, if applicable). We consider all LSAT scores going back five years.<\/p><p>Additionally, if you take the LSAT, your file will not become complete until at least one LSAT Writing Sample is processed and sent via your CAS report. We strongly encourage you to complete the LSAT Writing section prior to or soon after taking the LSAT. If you have or will have multiple LSAT scores, an application will complete with one LSAT Writing Sample, and we will not hold an application for an additional LSAT Writing Sample.<\/p><p>We report only your highest LSAT score to the American Bar Association (ABA) and other organizations. However, all scores will be considered in the application review process. If there is a significant discrepancy (four or more points) in your scores, we encourage you to submit an addendum to put the variance in context for the Admissions Committee. This should be addressed in the Additional Information section of the application.<\/p><p><a name=\"gre\"><\/a><\/p><h3>Graduate Records Exam (GRE) Score<\/h3><p>We accept either the LSAT or the GRE. While we expect the vast majority of our applicants will continue to apply with only the LSAT, you may want to consider whether the GRE is a suitable alternative. Factors such as: plans for other graduate study, your application timeline, and whether you will apply to other law schools that accept ONLY the LSAT should be considered.<\/p><p>If you apply without a LSAT score, you must take the GRE by March 1, 2023. There will be no exceptions to this date. If you have a reportable LSAT score, you may choose to report your GRE score, but it is not required.<\/p><p>If you report your GRE score, your application will not be completed until we receive your score report from ETS. The ETS school code for USC Gould School of Law is 4030. It is your responsibility to ensure your report is requested and communicated to USC Gould as your application completion will be delayed until the score is received.<\/p><p>ETS will only report scores for five years from the date of test. You must ensure you have a reportable score at the time we request your report from ETS. We will not accept self-reported GRE scores. If you choose to apply with the GRE, you must submit all valid and reportable GRE test results for the last five years. You may not choose which results to share. This parallels the requirement that five years of LSAT scores be disclosed on the application. Just as with the LSAT, we will accept an explanation for discrepancies between multiple GRE scores. Space to address multiple scores is provided in the Additional Questions section of our application.<\/p><p>The GRE is offered year-round. Please visit the ETS website for additional information. To complete your application, we require that you take the GRE by March 1, 2023; however, we strongly encourage your application to be completed by the priority deadline of February 1. GRE scores are officially reported approximately two weeks after the test date. We will not consider GRE scores for tests taken after March 1, 2023.\u00a0<strong>There will be no exceptions to this policy.<\/strong><\/p><p>All applicants applying with the GRE must subscribe to and utilize the LSAC Credential Assembly Service (CAS).<\/p><p>The GRE will not be accepted for Early Decision or Rothman Scholar applicants. All Early Decision and Rothman Scholar applicants must apply with the LSAT.<\/p><p><a name=\"statement\"><\/a><\/p><h3>Personal Statement<\/h3><p>The personal statement is your primary opportunity to discuss who you are beyond the application basics.
