Fall 2027 Application Opens May 1, 2026

Deadline: June 15, 2026

The GW Junior Early Action Program allows GW undergraduate juniors to apply to GW Law one year in advance for deferred enrollment without the requirement of an LSAT score. This program is in accordance with ABA Standard 503. 

While the application is not binding, an admitted applicant's decision to attend is binding upon their submission of a seat deposit. The student may then begin their senior year with the knowledge that their seat is deferred to the subsequent year, provided they maintain the level of academic achievement evident in their application.

Eligibility for the Junior Early Action Program

To apply through this program, applicants must:

  • Maintain good academic standing through six semesters of undergraduate study;
  • Hold a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher;
  • Score at or above the 85th percentile on the SAT, ACT, GRE, or GMAT (within the past five years); and
  • Have not taken and do not plan to take the LSAT.

Application Components

Applicants must submit the following materials:

  • A resume
  • A two-page personal statement, via the Law School Admission Council (LSAC)
  • All official transcripts via the LSAC Credential Assembly Service (CAS)
  • At least one letter of recommendation via CAS
  • An official copy of standardized test scores (SAT, ACT, GRE, or GMAT)

Applications must be submitted electronically through the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). All applicants must register with the Credential Assembly Service (CAS) and send their official transcripts to LSAC.
