While not the only factors considered by the Admissions Committee in allocating scholarship funding, an applicant’s LSAT score and undergraduate GPA will be strongly taken into account. Brandeis Law does not consider financial need in making scholarship offers. Scholarship offers are made on a rolling basis as part of the admissions process.
