Admissions Policies

The Admissions Committee sets admissions guidelines each year. We begin to review applications in early fall with decisions made on a rolling basis. The committee engages in a holistic review of each applicant and considers undergraduate grades and transcripts, LSAT scores, letters of recommendation, employment, post-graduate educational experience, extracurricular activities, special skills and talents, community service and involvement, personal statement, and other factors.

Deferral Policy

The Admissions Committee considers requests for deferral on a case-by-case basis. Admitted students who wish to defer their enrollment should submit a written request to Toledo Law Admissions outlining the reasons for the request. Should the Committee grant the request, a seat will be reserved for the student in the entering class for the following academic year provided that the student: pays $150 non-refundable seat deposit as specified in the admit letter, confirms their intent to enroll by contacting Toledo Law Admissions by Jan. 15 (fall start) of the following year, confirms that nothing has taken place in the interim year related to character and fitness that would disqualify the student from entering the practice of law, and pays $250 non-refundable commitment deposit the following year.
