紐約州立大學(xué)水牛城分校語(yǔ)言成績(jī)要求

PS The Graduate Admissions Committee uses the personal statement to learn about each applicant. We are particularly interested in knowing what motivates you to pursue an advanced law degree. We are also interested in learning about your life experiences, family background, academic experiences and academic accomplishments that make you uniquely qualified to pursue an advanced degree at the School of Law. The personal statement should also be an excellent example of your writing skills. It is recommended that you have it proofread at least once prior to submission. Ideally, your personal statement should be tailored to the School of Law.  It should be at most 2 1/2 typewritten pages. Fee The application fee of $75 must be submitted or waived to complete your application. RL Letters of recommendation help to complete the academic profile of each applicant. We highly encourage applicants to ask faculty members to write these letters. The recommendation should stress your ability to think and write critically and to analyze large volumes of text, and your level of responsibility in the classroom. The Graduate Admissions Committee highly values letters from faculty members who know you well. If you are returning to the academic environment after some time away, letters of recommendation from employers are acceptable. Encourage them to stress your academic ability as much as possible. NEED TO KNOW: Two letters are required. Again, your application will not be reviewed unless two letters have been received. Transcript The Admissions Committee takes a broad view of law school performance. We evaluate your transcript based on courses taken, increasing level of difficulty and academic rigor of the course of study. The academic reputation of the institution is not weighed as heavily as the student’s academic performance. The Admissions Committee will also accept addenda to your application that explain any anomalies in your academic performance. If you experienced an unexpected event that resulted in an inconsistent academic performance, provide a one-page explanation to the Admissions Committee. NEED TO KNOW: Applicants with non-U.S. academic documents must have them evaluated and if necessary translated. Upon acceptance and enrollment, students must provide official copies of all academic documentation, including transcripts and proof of degree.
