<p>Dude get into the school first…You apply to the AILE as a junior and you have to have outstanding grades…My advisor said that almost nobody gets into the program</p>

<p>Correct</p>

<p>No big deal. Tons of CU undergrads get into the top law schools (including CLS).</p>

<p>Yeah, requirements are:
(1) a 3.9 GPA
(2) a 170 LSAT
(3) complete your entire major’s required courses by the end of your junior year
(4) have, at a maximum, 12 credits of non-major courses remaining to graduate by the end of your junior year
(5) file an application to the Law School as any other student would do.</p>

<p>Approximately 1-2 students do this each year. It’s a royal pain, and what you give up is an otherwise enjoyable senior year of college. That will be a year of your life that you will wish you had back when you’re sweating away till midnight doing document review for Crevath, Swaine and Moore.</p>

<p>Also, if you’ve got the numbers for the program, you’d be stupid to turn down a better law school for CLS.</p>
