University of Maryland School of Law : Catalog, 1988-1989

Application Procedure
Except as noted below, documents
and other data pertaining to application
for admission should be
sent to:
Committee on Admissions
University of Maryland
School of Law
500 West Baltimore Street
Baltimore, MD 21201
(301) 328-3492
1. Application for Admission. The
Application for Admission must
be completed and submitted to
the Admissions Committee together
with a check or money
order in the amount of the application
filing fee of $25.00.
The LSAT/LSDAS registration
packet includes a Law School
Application Matching Form
which must be submitted with
the Application for Admission.
To preserve the candidate's
rights to privacy, Law School
Admission Services (LSAS) has
agreed not to release an LSDAS
report to any school that does
not furnish LSAS with an Application
Matching Form. If you
do not submit a matching form,
the processing of your application
will be delayed until the
form is received. Applicants
who have had the LSDAS report
submitted in support of an
application for admission made
since September 1987 need not
submit the matching form.
2. Transcripts. Analysis of transcripts
and calculation of the
undergraduate grade point average
is performed for the school
by the Law School Data Assembly
Service (LSDAS). Each applicant
must subscribe to the
service by filing a subscription
order form, available at undergraduate
schools, from Law
School Admission Services, or
directly from the law school.
This subscription form should
be sent—not to the School of
Law—but directly to:
Law School Admission Services
Box 2000
Newtown, PA 18940
Transcript request forms, included
in the LSDAS registration
packet, should be used to
request that official transcripts
be sent by the registrar's office
of each undergraduate (and
graduate) school attended directly
to Law School Admission
Services. LSDAS will analyze
the transcripts and send copies
of its analysis and of the transcripts
to this law school and
any others which submit an
Application Matching Form.
Applicants who are accepted
and whose transcripts filed with
LSDAS do not show the award
of the bachelor's degree must
have a transcript showing the
award of this degree sent directly
to the School of Law
from the undergraduate institution.
Waiver of the requirement
of subscription with LSDAS
may be granted to those who
have submitted the required
material since September 1987
in support of a prior application
for admission to this school.
Request for such waiver should
be clearly made on the current
admissions application.
3. Law School Admission Test
(LSAT). All applicants for admission
are required to take the
Law School Admission Test.
