*Please note, schools can change these dates, and it is possible that when we called to ask them that they gave us the dates applications become available to fill out on the LSAC website rather than when applications are accepted (although we were very careful to clearly articulate what we were asking about) — but this should be highly accurate to the extent we can control it.
Also please note that several schools told us that they had not yet decided on an exact date that they will be accepting applications. We will check back and fill these in as they become available, but estimates from the admissions offices are below. Additionally, you can browse last year's dates for reference.
