Students should indicate their interest in this program to the
Rutgers-Camden Office of Undergraduate Admissions when they make their
initial application to Rutgers- Camden, at which time their credentials
will be evaluated. To enhance their opportunity for acceptance,
dual-degree students should apply to the law school for early admission
by January 15 of their junior year, and must complete the application
process required of all applicants to the law school. They must take
the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) by no later than December of their
junior year and should achieve a score equal to or exceeding the median
LSAT score achieved by students entering the law school in the
preceding year. The law school will admit students who achieve this
score and meet all other admissions requirements; however, failure to
achieve the requisite LSAT score will not automatically result in
denial of admission to the law school. In addition, they must present a
minimum GPA of 3.4 or its equivalent at the end of their fifth term at
Rutgers-Camden. At least three-fourths of the CCAS requirements for the
bachelor`s degree must be completed before matriculation at the law
school. The law school may require a personal interview of the
applicant.
Applicants to Rutgers' School of Law-Camden from
the dual-degree program should present evidence of strong analytical
and writing skills. To ensure that they have had opportunities for
research, seminar, and/or independent study experiences expected of
applicants to Rutgers' School of Law-Camden, students should complete
(1) at least two writing courses beyond basic freshman writing and (2)
an advanced level seminar or independent study in their major field of
study no later than their junior year. Additionally, it is recommended
that their pre-law courses include a basic course in each of the
American constitution or system of government, accounting, and
statistics, and that they be proficient in computer use, including at a
minimum word processing, email, and Internet research.
Rutgers' School of Law reserves the right to deny admission to any
person who is not deemed of good character and/or has been charged
with, arrested for, or convicted of the violation of any law (other
than minor traffic violations), dismissed, expelled, suspended, or
disciplined within Rutgers or elsewhere for academic or any other
reason.
