I sent them an email describing my situation and they did allow.
but seeing that they are sending away response letters I think its a waste. ! :|


They are sending admission offers only for those who applied early. If they let you apply to the regular cycle, you should not lose hope and go for it!

Definitely not - I used to work in admissions for an a university in Australia. So long as you have permission from the university to apply late then go for it! :)

I'm very surprised CLS is allowing an application beyond the deadline. Its definitely gracious of them.

I think i probably was the last applicant when the deadline expired. I applied at 23:40 Hrs New York time on 17th Dec. I also sent my LoR's on 17 Dec.

It would suffice to say that I have a poor class rank.

I intend to study Corporate Finance, International Capital Market Regulations and related subjects at the graduate level.

This is what LSAC answered me (yesterday) about rankings.
"Thank you for your email.

Please note that Quality of Academic Record (below average, average, above average or superior) is based solely on grades - not on rank. Copies of your transcripts are included with the report sent to requesting law schools.

If you have additional concerns, please let us know."


I would agree. My LSAC report was graded 'superior'. And if I were in the batch immediately senior to mine at the law school (undergraduate level), I would easily be top 10-15%. I guess my class was just full of cent-percentiles! Evidently, CLS does not take class rank into account in isolation of the grades obtained.

Not yet. The dean said on the phone that the admission pack would be sent in the course of January.

I received my application complete email (only) today!

I sent my documents by mid-November, so I was kind of worried about not having received the acknowledgement email.

I don't think anyone heard from CLS in the regular cycle. Judging from last year thread, starting from tomorrow we should be hearing from them.

Where did you read about CLS making decisions by Feb end? Admissions at CLS are made on a rolling basis. Even i thought we should start hearing from them in the next couple of weeks.
