Top Law Schools

Hey all,

I was wondering if there exists out there some sort of timeline showing when applications open for the upcoming fall cycle. I know most of them are 9/15, but I think I remember Berkeley opens on 9/1, and maybe one other that had a different date--is there any sort of list?

If not, I guess I could get off my lazy butt and put one together myself. Crazy.

Thanks for any input.

EDIT: made a list myself, for anyone to refer to...


From earliest to latest:

August 15 - Chicago, Cornell

August 23 - Michigan

September 1 - Berkeley, Columbia, Duke, Northwestern, NYU, Penn

September 2 - UVA

September 10 - Stanford

"Mid September" - Harvard

October 1 - Yale

If you're looking to apply the first day possible, there really isn't much difference at all....(like none) 9/1 vs 9/15. Worst case scenario you just do them all on 9/15 if you're all ready to go.

Unless you're trying to see the applications and what they ask for supplemental stuff.

Yeah, I think it'd be useful less for 'APPLY SEPTEMBER FIRST NOW NOW NOW' and more for getting things like addendums/actually filling crap out as much ahead of time as possible. Or at least seeing what's going on--just a general sort of starting things earlier is better idea.

I'm also interested in this. Please post the list if you compile it!

I'm in if you make it

Bring it.

And I'll put together a T14 list tonight, if that's cool.

Awesome If the thread isn't made by the time you finish the list, you should make the thread and put the list in the OP. I bet a lot of people would find it v helpful

Not sure I can handle that kind of responsibility... I'm too new! No idea what I'm doing.

P.S. I know the girl who spells Xylocarp at the beginning of Mean Girls. She was in my major program in UG.

Holy crap

That is awesome and you should be her best friend stat



Ok I made the thread http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 7&t=231881

I would also like to be a part of this cool, overly obsessing C/O 2018 group.

All right, here is what I came up with (and note that some of these are explicitly dates for the 2014-15 cycle, while some are explicitly for 2013-14 and are thus subject to minor change--though it doesn't seem like most of them move).

From earliest to latest:

August 15 - Chicago, Cornell

August 23 - Michigan

September 1 - Berkeley, Columbia, Duke, Northwestern, NYU, Penn

September 2 - UVA

September 10 - Stanford

"Mid September" - Harvard (thanks for the specificity, bros - defs let me know if anyone can find a hard date)

October 1 - Yale



Let me know if you think I goofed anything up. These are also all regular decision (I'm assuming that the earliest ones are those schools that have the ED option).

Thanks, you're awesome! I'm going to put this in the c/o 2018 OP

No worries and sounds good.

Does anyone know if there's a way to view what the applications from past years have looked like?

I know Michigan has theirs from the last cycle up year round. Don't know about others.
