<p>Hello,</p>
<p>As somebody who hopes to enter law school Fall 2008, I'm a little fuzzy on the application process. (I'm no longer an undergraduate, and so don't have the same access to my pre-law advising office that I might have enjoyed if I were applying "straight through".) I've taken the LSAT already.</p>
<p>When do application windows open? Does the process "roll"; i.e. do law schools admit students as soon as an application is complete, or (more like undergrad), do they have one major window? To whom do I send transcripts, letters of recommendation, etc.? When should I register with LSDAS? What's their function -- simply to translate my transcript into a standard evaluation system?</p>
<p>Thanks much -- all help appreciated.</p>
<p>aren't you in med school?</p>
<p>Applications do come out at the end of the summer. I would suggest downloading applications of the schools that you are interested in attending now so that you have some idea as to what each school is asking and you can manage your process accordingly. </p>
<p>It does happen on a rolling basis, so the at some schools the sooner you can go complete, the sooner you can get a response (those who are really early will have decisions before thanksgiving at some schools. And like undergrad some schools have binding ED other schools have EA. </p>
<p>IF I remember correctly, Duke invites students to apply through their fast track process where I think they get an answer within 10 days after going comeplete.</p>
<p>What you can do if you have not already done so is to open a LSDAS account through the LSAC, request your transcripts, talk to professors about getting your recommendations together, especially because you are no longer on campus. if possible check out lawschooldiscussion.org as there are a number of forums where you can get a lot of your questions answered.</p>
<p>Check the process for each school that you are applying to as many schools will allow you to apply through using the LSDAS (think of it as the common app). If you can get a copy of the Richard Montauk book, I am telling you it will be the best $25 you will spend because he really lays out the process.</p>
<p>I hope this helps and good luck</p>
