Statement of Purpose
Resume
Transcript evaluation. The transcript evaluation is required of all applicants who attended and received their degrees from any institution outside the U.S. The evaluation is not an English translation of the transcripts, but a separate document completed by a professional evaluation agency, which shows that the degree youve received or are pursuing outside the U.S. is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree or U.S. master's degree. This requirement is waived for applicants with a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree from an accredited U.S. institution. You are required to submit your official international education credentials (e.g. transcripts, mark sheets, degree certificates, graduation diplomas) and evaluation fee directly to any evaluation agency that is a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES), or the Law School Admission Council (LSAC). You should request a General Evaluation with Grade Average. You should request your chosen evaluation agency to send the evaluation directly to Graduate & Professional Enrollment Management (GPEM) at gradapp@luc.edu, and that they send your transcripts along with your transcript evaluation. Transcripts received from these evaluators are considered official. Please note this is the preferred method to get your official transcripts to us.
An official TOEFL, IELTS, PTE, or Duolingo score report is required for international applicants whose native language is not English. Copies are not accepted, and if scores are sent from applicants they will be added as unofficial scores, we must receive test scores directly from the testing service, and the school's code for the TOEFL and IELTS scores is 1412. English language test scores are valid for two years from the test date. The law school requires a minimum overall TOEFL iBT score of 95 with minimum scores of 24 in the writing and reading sections, or a minimum overall IELTS score of 7 with minimum scores of 7 in the writing and reading sections. The minimum test score for Duolingo is 125 and for the PTE it is 75.
Official transcripts should show a GPA of 3.0 or higher. In exceptional cases, applicants whose undergraduate GPA is below 3.0 may be admitted.
