As the University of Virginia Law School is safely returning to pre-pandemic normalcy, Dean Natalie Blazer shares exactly what the admissions committee seeks to invite students to one of the country’s leading law schools.
In this episode:
Can you give us an overview of the more distinctive elements of the UVA Law School JD program?
What is UVA experiencing in terms of application volume?
UVA accepts the LSAT, the GRE, and the GMAT, but requires applicants to submit all scores for the GRE and GMAT. Do you have any preference for one test over the other?
How many applicants apply to UVA with a GRE or GMAT?
Are most of the users of the GRE or GMAT dual degree applicants?
For students who haven’t taken any test yet, how should they decide which one to take?
Is the GRE still more widely accepted than the GMAT among law schools?
Can you review UVA’s regular decision option and binding expedited decision option and share the major differences between them?
Does the binding expedited decision have a different acceptance rate than the regular decision?
Are applicants who apply through the binding expedited decision process at a disadvantage in terms of financial aid awards, having made that commitment?
Is full-time work experience a nice-to-have at UVA or really important to the admissions committee?
Do law firms seem to have any preference in terms of hiring or internships for people who have work experience before law school?
Do you like to see some experience that is closely related to law?
Can you share what you’re looking for in the personal statement?
Do you have any guidance for addenda?
What other factors do you consider beyond LSAT and GPA?
What role do interviews play in the admissions decision and what can applicants expect during the interview?
Are Zoom interviews a COVID accommodation or is that how it has always been at UVA?
Does UVA consider update letters from applicants who have something significant to tell you after they submit their application and before hearing back from you? What about waitlisted applicants?
