Admission Process

All applicants are required to submit a completed, signed application form, the application fee, a personal statement and a resume. All undergraduate transcripts and two letters of recommendation must be sent to the Law School Data Assembly Service (LSDAS). Instructions for this service may be found in the LSDAS booklet. Once all materials have been submitted, a file is considered complete and ready for an admission decision to be made.

The law school makes admission decisions on a rolling admissions basis. That is, decisions are made as files are completed. This process begins in October of the year preceding the academic year applicants are applying for and continues until sufficient admissions are granted to fill the entering class. Accordingly, applications should be submitted as early as possible.

A nonrefundable application processing fee of $50, in the form of a check or money order payable to the University of Missouri-Kansas City, must accompany the application. In addition, a $200 seat reservation fee must be paid by April 1 or a designated period after admission, whichever is later. The $200 is nonrefundable but will be credited toward first-semester fees. An additional $100 nonrefundable seat reservation fee is due June 15, this fee will also be credited toward first-semster fees.
