S/U grades
Admissions understands that there is a 2020 “lost semester.” An S option was offered to current law students as well. One semester with S grades is not a problem, but students need to be thoughtful when taking an S grade. 

Aside from that year, 3.4 GPA (including ALL classes taken) is required. 

Cumulative GPA’s
LSAC(法学院入学委员会)会计算你所有的成绩，并计算出一个主GPA，这个GPA会出现在证书组装服务报告中，作为招生的指导. 招生部门在做决定时将考虑所有成绩以及最终的硕士GPA.

Preferred Majors
法学院的学生有着不同的学术背景和不同的学术经历. The priority for admissions is excellence. Whichever degree you choose to pursue make sure you will excel in it. Take classes that interest you and classes that challenge you. Make sure to do very well in them. Worry less about what major you choose and more about how well you do.

来自BIS 3+3法学院课程毕业生的建议:跨学科研究学士课程允许灵活性. 如果你把你的通识教育要求分散开来，学习不同学科的高级课程(你可能会找到一个你想辅修的领域)，你不仅会从多个学科领域获得知识, but you will have had the opportunity to meet people from different fields.

LSAT Scores for Scholarship Opportunities
The median LSAT score for admission is 159. Early application is better. Wayne Law uses rolling admission, 因此，尽早申请意味着竞争对手更少，获得成功的机会更大
