Georgetown Law is happy to announce that we are now hosting on-campus, outdoor information sessions. Prospective applicants have the opportunity to meet with Dean Andy Cornblatt, and after take a student guided tour.

Georgetown Law receives the most JD applications of any law school. For Fall 2020 admission, we received almost 10,000 applications.

Yes, and we strongly encourage you to complete your application as early as possible in the admissions cycle.

If you are an Early Decision applicant and your application is completed by March 1st, you will receive a decision within 4 weeks of your application being marked as complete.

If you are a Regular Decision applicant, you can expect to receive a decision about 8-12 weeks after your application is marked as complete.

Early Decision applicants who are deferred from receiving a final decision in the initial review are released from their commitment to Georgetown Law and will be considered later in the cycle as Regular Decision applicants.

Although candidates admitted under Early Decision are committed to attending Georgetown, and will not receive their financial aid information before their admissions decision, please be assured that you will be considered for merit scholarships and need-based financial aid in the same manner, and on the same timeline, as all other admitted students. If you need to know your full financial aid package prior to being committed to attending Georgetown, we recommend that you apply under Regular Decision.

We will accept GMAT, GRE, or LSAT scores.

We have no preference when it comes to which standardized test an applicant chooses to take and submit - LSAT, GRE, and GMAT are all treated equally.

No, we do not use a converter. We look at the percentiles that an applicant's score falls into for each section of the exam, and evaluate the strength of the composite score accordingly.

No, we do not use numerical cutoffs and there is no minimum GPA or GMAT, GRE, or LSAT score required for admission.

Due to our rolling admissions process, we strongly encourage you to take the GMAT, GRE, or LSAT in, or prior to, September. We will still accept a later LSAT, GMAT, or GRE test, but please note that it is most advantageous to take an earlier test because of our rolling admissions process.

The Admissions Committee typically considers your highest score and may consider an average of scores if you have taken the GMAT, GRE, or LSAT more than twice. For reporting purposes, Georgetown Law adheres to the ABA policy of reporting an applicant’s highest test score.

What is the oldest test score I can submit?
Pursuant to LSAC, for LSAT scores:
If you took the LSAT in or after June 2017, you can use this score to apply through June 2023. Results from LSATs prior to June 2017 will not be reported and cannot be used to apply.

Pursuant to ETS, for GRE scores:

GRE scores (for tests taken on or after July 1, 2016) are reportable for five years following your test date and can be used to apply.

There is no minimum or maximum length for the personal statement, but it should be double spaced. Most personal statements are about two to three pages.

We only require one recommendation or evaluation, but you may submit more if you’d like. Please note that once we receive one letter of recommendation or LSAC evaluation form, your application will be considered complete and sent to the committee for review. You must let us know in advance if you would like your application held from review until we receive additional letters of recommendation or evaluations. There is a section in our application where you can note that you would like your application held and from whom you are still waiting on recommendations.
