Some law schools offer programs where admission is contingent upon the successful completion of a pre-enrollment program. These programs are available for students with low numerical qualifications and are usually offered in the summer before first-year classes begin.
These programs provide an excellent way to get a feel for the rigors and demands of law school. After successfully completing a school’s conditional admission program, participants may be offered admission to the school.
This is important: Admission to a conditional program is at the sole discretion of the school offering the program.
