Dean's Certificate List
Why don't we try to get a running list of places that need a Dean's Certificate? I'll try to update a list as people put this down, because obviously getting a Dean's Cert appears to deter some people from applying, and it's helpful to know ahead of time who requires it.
A Dean's Certification is basically a form you have the Dean of Students, registrar, or some other official with access to your college records fill out. It asks simple question about if you are currently in good standing with the school, if you got in trouble while attending, if you had any lapses in your studies, etc.
Required:
Boston University
Brooklyn
Campbell Law School
Cardozo (only if have academic or disciplinary sanctions)
Columbia (If accepted / disciplinary problems)
Connecticut
Cornell
Duke (If accepted / disciplinary problems)
Georgetown (only for transfer/visiting students)
Harvard (after accepted if choose to attend or if have academic or disciplinary sanctions.)
Howard
University of Memphis
New York University (after accepted if choose to attend or if have academic or disciplinary sanctions.)
U Penn (after accepted if choose to attend)
University of Richmond
Stanford
Suffolk University
Wake Forest (after accepted if choose to attend)
University of Washington
Washington and Lee

I'm not sure I can adequately explain that one yet. Anyone else want to try to tackle that question?
Edit: Thanks Rhit.

The LSD thread wasn't entirely up to date, but I read through and tried to update accordingly for the most recent cycle. Some of the schools outside the T14 and not mentioned in this thread may not require them for this cycle. Please keep updating if you have come across schools requiring Dean's Certs. Thanks!

Re: Dean's Certificate List
Just wanted to give this a bump, because I had no idea that I had to submit one to Brooklyn until last week.

Re: Dean's Certificate List
bumping for new cycle.
I just called and Boston University no longer requires one to go complete.
Stanford, Brooklyn law and cornell still do though regardless of whether or not you've ever been disciplined.

Re: Dean's Certificate List
Yeah, I never saw anything from W&L that said I had to submit a Dean's cert.

Re: Dean's Certificate List
Just to clarify, you do not have to send dean's form with your application to Boston University...you get it after you are accepted.

Re: Dean's Certificate List
All schools require a Dean's Certificate to matriculate. What you're thinking about is school that ask for one prior to *acceptance*. Just to clarify.

Re: Dean's Certificate List
