Additional Application Requirements

Personal Statement

REQUIRED

The personal statement may expand on your application or reveal a side of yourself not expressed on your application. It may include, but need not be limited to 1) how a law school education will further your personal and professional goals; 2) significant personal accomplishments; and 3) special circumstances, if any, that you wish the Admissions Committee to know as it reviews your file.

Avoid clichés, grammatical errors, typographical errors, and plagiarism. The personal statement should be typed, double-spaced, and should be no longer than two pages. If you have overcome special challenges such as economic hardship, educational deprivation, physical disability, discrimination, assimilation to a different culture/society, or any other disadvantage, please describe those challenges in your personal statement.

Letters of Recommendation

OPTIONAL

While recommendation letters are optional, the Admissions Committee STRONGLY SUGGESTS that applicants have recommenders submit these on their behalf.

Letters may be from instructors, employers, colleagues, or others. Letters of recommendation should come from appropriate sources. For example, applicants who are currently enrolled in an academic program are strongly encouraged to submit letters from instructors, and applicants who have been out of college for a number of years but have significant work experience should seek letters from employers, colleagues, or clients.

Applicants who plan to include recommendations in their application files are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to use the LSAC Letter of Recommendation Service. Recommenders may also send letters directly to the School of Law Admissions Office. If recommendation letters have not been received, but the application form, application fee, LSAC Law School Report and personal statement have been received, the Admissions Committee will review the file.

Resume

OPTIONAL

If you would like the Admissions Committee to consider any significant nonacademic experience (e.g., volunteer work, employment history, academic honors or awards, or extracurricular activities, etc.) when reviewing your application, please include an attachment with your application.

This attachment may take the form of a list, a résumé, or a cover letter. (If applying electronically, use the electronic attachment feature.) Please limit attachments to written statements only and to a reasonable length, as the Admissions Committee may potentially review more than 2,000 applications in a given application cycle.

Additional Essay

OPTIONAL

Additional Optional Essay: "Why are you applying to Akron Law?"

Please tell us, in 500 words (approximately 1 page, double-spaced) or less, why you are applying for admission to The University of Akron School of Law.
