General requirements
- A person who holds a bachelor's degree from an institution that is accredited by an agency recognized by the Department of Education is eligible to apply for admission as a candidate for the JD degree.
- At Pace, as at many law schools, the most important admissions criteria are the undergraduate grade point average and the Law School Admission Test (LSAT).
- At this time most law schools require applicants to submit an LSAT score as part of the application process. Pace Law School will also consider the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) score.
- The Admissions Committee will also consider other factors when making decisions such as the strength of the curriculum undertaken or the quality of the institution at which undergraduate work was done, class rank and the progression of grades.
