SummerStarter ProgramHIGH GPA, LOW LSAT SCORE?

The Summer Starter Program is a unique opportunity for students whose outstand-ing undergraduate performance indicates probable academic success in graduate school despite disproportionate LSAT scores. This is a demanding 8-week program that challenges students with a rigorous schedule of two first year law courses with frequent examinations and evaluations. Upon completion of the Summer Starter courses, students will have earned eight hours of credit that can give them an added edge in their legal education. This is not a summer qualifier program. Once admitted as a Summer Starter, the student is a member of the entering fall class as well.

Small classes, individual attention and a greater chance for student participation and class interaction are hallmarks of the Summer Starter program. We believe that students selected for our Summer Starter Program reap the benefits of a “jump start” in their legal education and that their potential for success is unlimited. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity.

“The Summer Starter Program was an awesome experi-ence. It taught me how to study and prepare for a law school exams which I think is critical to any law student. However, the relationships I made with my fellow classmates during the summer was the biggest benefit from the summer pro-gram because it was where I was able to establish relation-ships with fellow students who support my academic and personal growth.”ZACHARY BRUMFIELD, 2-L
