Nashville School of Law - Admissions Policy

Admissions Policy

In recent years the number of applicants for admission to the School has far exceeded the accommodations available, thus causing the School to limit its first year enrollment.

Applicants must have received, or will receive prior to matriculation, a Bachelor's Degree from a college or university on the approved list of the Southern Association of Schools and Colleges, or the equivalent regional accrediting association.

The undergraduate GPA will be considered along with the LSAT score. The admissions process includes an admissions index computed as follows by LSDAS: multiply the applicant's cumulative GPA, as determined by LSDAS, times ten plus 80% of the applicant's LSAT score. Applicants with an index score below 140 are not accepted.

Applicants must register with the LSDAS service, as well as take the LSAT. Each applicant should describe any extracurricular activities of the applicant during his/her undergraduate college career and any business accomplishments since college graduation.

The applicant must submit three letters of recommendation, one of which must be from someone in the legal field. The letters of recommendation may be sent to LSDAS or directly to the NSL Admissions Committee.
