The Admissions Committee receives applications from many more persons who are highly qualified to attend law school than there are places available. In making admissions decisions among applicants with comparable undergraduate grade point averages and LSAT scores, the Admissions Committee seeks a diverse and heterogeneous student body. The Committee considers such factors as exceptional personal talents, unique work or service experience, leadership potential, rigorousness of the undergraduate course of study as reflected by the applicant's college transcripts, graduate study, maturity, physical handicap, a history of overcoming disadvantage, ability to communicate, race, ethnic background, geography, cultural disadvantage, letters of recommendation, and other factors. Consequently, your answers to questions 9-11 may be important in the admissions decision. (Your answers to these questions must be composed by you.)
9. If your college transcripts reveal that your grades for one or more semesters were markedly different from those in the other semesters, please explain. Please make any other comments about your college transcripts or your preparation for college (such as a disadvantaged educational or economic background) that you believe will help the Admissions Committee in evaluating your application. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
