Admission Decisions: Beyond the Numbers
UF Law seeks to admit students who will excel academically, attain the highest standards of professional excellence and integrity, and bring vision, creativity and commitment to the legal profession.
The College of Law gives substantial weight to numerical predictors of academic success (LSAC GPA and LSAT or GRE scores). Numbers alone, however, are not dispositive. The College of Law considers all information submitted by applicants in a holistic review process, including factors such as extracurricular leadership, work or internship experience, and writing skills. The review process may also include a virtual admissions interview
