  • completion of undergraduate core curriculum as defined by their undergraduate institution;

• A cumulative GPA of 3.5 or above through 90 credits of undergraduate coursework;
• An LSAT score at or above the median LSAT for the School of Law’s previous year’s enrolled class OR GRE scores at or above the 70th percentile on the Verbal Reasoning section and at or above the 40th percentile on the Quantitative Reasoning section.

Undergraduate students at partner institutions should consult with their Academic Advisement Office during their freshman or sophomore year to discuss and plan for the application process.

Eligible students must take the LSAT or GRE no later than January of their junior year and must apply to UB School of Law (via the Law School Admission Council) no later than February 1 of their junior year of undergraduate studies. Following the receipt of all required admission materials, the School of Law will review and arrive at an admission decision. The School of Law’s Admissions Committee reserves the right to request and conduct an in-person admissions interview prior to arriving at a final admission decision. 3+3 candidates are required to submit 2 academic recommendation letters.

Upon successful completion of the first-year law school curriculum, students’ credits for the year are transferred to their undergraduate schools to complete the bachelor’s degree.
