All applicants must submit transcripts to LSAC from any post-secondary education they have attended since leaving high school. Applicants may apply during their final year of undergraduate study, in which case acceptance is contingent upon the applicant's being awarded a baccalaureate degree prior to matriculation at the law school (unless the student is participating in a 3+3 program).
