Transcript:
A transcript from each undergraduate college or university attended must be sent directly to LSAC, not BU Law. If you have a graduate degree or are pursuing a graduate degree you will also need to submit these transcripts through LSAC to complete your application.
Curriculum Vitae:
A current résumé is required of all applicants. The résumé should reflect all full-time and part-time employment, both paid and unpaid, and all extracurricular activities and honors. Please format your résumé in reverse chronological order, with the most recent employment at the top and indicate for each position whether it was full-time, part-time, paid, or unpaid. Please do not include high school activities or awards in your résumé. There is no required length for the résumé. Occasionally, the Admissions Committee will request further clarification of an applicant’s activities.
Personal Statement:
Your personal statement should discuss the significant personal, social, or academic experiences that have contributed to your decision to study law. Most personal statements are approximately two pages long. Please double-space your personal statement and any optional essays.
Recommendation Letter:
You must submit at least two letters of recommendation through the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service. BU Law accepts up to four letters of recommendation sent through the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service that is part of the CAS registration. Ideally, each letter should come from someone who has taught you in a substantive college or postgraduate course. Given that two-thirds of the incoming class takes time between their undergraduate career and law school, the Admissions Committee acknowledges that it may be difficult to request a letter from an undergraduate professor as years pass. In these instances, it is acceptable to submit letters from employers. The Admissions Committee values letters from people who are able to provide a thoughtful, thorough, and candid assessment of your academic ability and potential for success in law study.
LSAC will copy your letters and send them to us with your law school report. To use this service, follow the online directions for submitting letters. You MUST use the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service for your recommendations. BU Law will not receive a law school report until LSAC has processed at least two letters of recommendation. You may submit up to four letters of recommendation.
Federal legislation gives you right of access to letters of recommendation. You may waive this right (as provided on the form). Your waiver is not required as a condition for admission or for financial aid.
Optional Essay:
In addition to your personal statement, you may wish to provide an additional essay. This essay is your opportunity to discuss any aspect of your background or life experience that you believe will enhance your ability to contribute to the diverse BU classroom experience and community. BU Law values and recognizes the importance of diversity. An ethnically, socio-economically, and otherwise diverse class is essential to the education of each student. As a producer of leaders in legal practice, government or other public service, academia, and business, BU Law continues its long-standing tradition of providing opportunities for persons of all backgrounds and providing the excellent training to which a diverse classroom is indispensable.
