William H. Bowen School of Law University of Arkansas at Little Rock
Application Process The UALR William H. Bowen School of Law values inclusion and is committed to enrolling students of diverse ethnicities, life experiences, and professional backgrounds. Therefore, the Admissions Committee takes a holistic approach to application evaluation, meaning it takes the complete application into consideration, not merely LSAT and undergraduate GPA. All applicants are automatically considered for the William H. Bowen, Merit, and Non-resident scholarships. A separate application is not required. The deadline to apply is March 15. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit all required documents by January 15. Bowen does not charge an application fee. A completed application consists of the following:
1. Electronic Application All applicants must submit an electronic application through the Law School Admission Council. However, reasonable accommodations may be made when necessary; contact the Office of Admissions at 501.324.9903.
2. Admissions Essay This essay is extremely important as the Admissions Committee uses it to evaluate aptitude for legal education and writing abilities. Each year, the committee decides whether to require applicants to respond to a specific essay question or provide an open-form essay/personal statement. Pay close attention to the application instructions
3. Credential Assembly Service Report – Two Recommendation Letters The report should include copies of transcripts for all post-secondary academic work, LSAT score information, a copy of the LSAT writing sample(s), and two letters of recommendation (required). No more than two letters of recommendation will be accepted. Letters sent directly to the UALR Bowen School will not be considered.
4. Resume All applicants must submit a resume.
