It’s never too early to create your law school application strategy! Apply Point's ideal schedule looks something like this timeline.
January 2026
Fill out the school applications and Character & Fitness questionnaires available through LSAC.
Submit your applications by mid-January, at the latest. Most law schools offer rolling admissions and submitting your application on the earlier side will benefit you.
Prepare for and participate in interviews, even if they are optional. Your brainstorming document will continue to be useful here. Interviews are a great way for the admissions committee to get to know you as a person (beyond your application) and for you to learn more about a program’s student experience, experiential learning opportunities, and/or alumni network.
