The School of Law is particularly interested in applicants who, by virtue of their background and experience, will add to the intellectual climate and diversity of the student body. Although not required, we strongly encourage all applicants to submit a personal statement. The personal statement provides the Admissions Committee the best opportunity to evaluate who you are beyond your undergraduate GPA and LSAT score(s).
The Office of Admission prefers that the Personal Statement be electronically attached to the on-line Application for admission but it can also be mailed separately directly to the Office of Admissions. Please do NOT submit both. All Personal Statements must be received at the office of Admissions or processed by LSAC as received on or before
March 31st of the year of anticipated enrollment.
The personal statement must be no more than three (3) pages, typed and double-spaced, and be a concise and well-drafted document. The contents of the personal statement must be in the applicants own words, thought, and work product. It should highlight your unique characteristics, which may include:
- Your educational experiences;
- Your occupational experiences;
- Any economic disadvantages;
- Your significant or extracurricular activities;
- Your talents and special interests;
- Any involvement in community affairs or public service;
- Your course of study;
- Any grade trends;
- Any post undergraduate studies;
- Any significant work experience; and
- Any other personal experiences that have influenced your life.
It should also include your comments about:
- The reason(s) you want to go to law school;
- The reason(s) you are interested in North Carolina Central University School of Law; and
- What you want to do with a law degree.
