Why Different Timelines for every school?

Post by YCDAACH » Wed Apr 13, 2016 4:08 pm

Why can't Law Schools establish a universal timeline of when they send out final decision letters, financial aid letters, and commitment deadlines? It seems overly complicated and burdensome to have every law school on a different timeline, especially when some of them are incompatible with each other.

It is understandable that the different deadlines can be burdensome to students. It typically comes down to meeting accreditation standards, admission committee availability, and how impacted the application cycle is for that university, which is why each school may have their own specific deadlines.

I think it's mostly because they don't feel the need to cater to our impatience/#firstworldproblems

Because LSAC hasn't put its foot down and set a universal timeline. So schools are going to do what they want.
