Do I have to have an undergraduate degree before I can attend Bowen?
Yes. Prior to enrolling at Bowen, a student must have received a baccalaureate degree from a four-year accredited institution. You must have completed the equivalent of at least 90 semester hours.
I majored in ________________. Will that affect my chances of being admitted?
Bowen does not require or give preference to any particular major. Our student body encompasses a broad spectrum of academic backgrounds. Rigorous courses of study, irrespective of major, are preferred.
I have a UGPA of ________ and an LSAT score of ________. What are my chances of admission?
Given our “holistic” application review process, it is impossible to predict chances of admission based on numerical profiles alone. We offer admission to applicants with a wide range of numerical profiles.
Is there a minimum UGPA or LSAT score that Bowen considers?
There is no minimum UGPA or LSAT score. All completed applications are considered.
I have a graduate degree. Will this improve my chances of admission?
Graduate degrees rarely make-or-break applicants’ chances of admission. Undergraduate academic records are given much more weight.
Why is my GPA on my LSDAS Law School Report lower than the GPA on my college transcript?
For purposes of the Law School Report, your GPA is converted by the LSDAS to a uniform scale. In many cases this conversion lowers your GPA from what is reflected on your transcript. The disparity often occurs in cases where applicants repeated courses due to low initial grades. All grades received in a course are calculated for purposes of the Law School Report, even if your college only calculated the highest grade. The disparity could be caused by other reasons as well. You can obtain further information about the LSDAS at 215.968.1001.
