BU Pre-Law Advising

The Pre-Law Advising Office provides students and alumni considering law school and careers in law with a full range of information and services. Whether you are planning on pursuing a career in the field of law or are simply exploring the option, we encourage you to connect with our office. We sponsor informational meetings and workshops as well as provide a variety of programs, services, and resources to help students make academic choices, explore extracurricular activities, learn about the legal profession, consider alternative pathways, and navigate the application process.

As a component of the law school application, some law schools require the Dean’s Letter of Recommendation (also called the Dean’s Certification, College Questionnaire, or College Certification). At Boston University, the Pre-Professional Advising Office is responsible for completing dean’s letters. If you find that your application/s require a dean’s letter, contact the Pre-Professional Advising Office for information on how to have your request processed.
