Standardized Tests

Boston University School of Law’s strong preference is that all applicants submit an LSAT score to complete their application. When completing your application, you will indicate if you plan to take any future LSAT administrations. Please be aware that your application will not be reviewed until the test scores you listed have been received. If you decide not to take a future LSAT on the date(s) you list, please inform the Admissions Office to prevent a delay in the review of your application. Once the Admissions Committee has reviewed your application, its decision is final.

The January 2027 LSAT administration is the latest recommended test date for candidates seeking admission to the 2027 entering class. A score is reportable for up to five testing years after the testing year in which the score is earned. LSAT testing years run from July 1 through June 30. See LSAC.org for more information. If an applicant has taken the test more than once, the Admissions Committee will view all reported test dates and scores, with the highest score earned considered in admission review. To register for the LSAT, please go to LSAC.org.

We accept the GRE with pre-approval only and on a limited basis.
