Emory University Law School is distinctive due to its
campus, which is composed of grand buildings and
plenty of greenery, and, of course, because of its
position within the top 25 law schools in the country.
Its high ranking means that Emory University Law
School is doing its best to keep standards high and
therefore maintain its position. One aspect of this
drive is the increasingly selective nature of the school.
LSAT scores are currently at a median of 162, which is
no pushover, and the GPA expectation is standing at
3.5. These high expectations before students even sit
down for their first lecture signify Emory’s recognition of
its own prestige, and a keen effort to keep it that way.
Around 4000 hopefuls apply each year, with only 22%
of that figure being accepted. First year classes are
expected to be numbering 200 students soon, and
applications are steadily increasing in number.
Another distinction Emory University Law School has is
its tendency to place emphasis on the GPA score of an
applicant rather than the LSAT. This is no bad thing,
of course. The LSAT certainly challenges applicants,
with its emphasis on logic and case building skills, but
applicants have been on a long academic journey
before they sit down to take the test, and it may be that
Emory is trying to recognise diversity.
While Atlanta is not an expensive area to live, tuition
fees and living costs combine to give the average
annual bill of $50,000 for an undergrad. Many of the
students do receive some kind of financial aid, which
eases the burden.
Students state that they find many of the professors to
be approachable and supportive. This is a good thing,
because during the second year of the course,
students face a mandatory two-week session called
‘Trial Techniques’. This is generally believed to be a
very demanding mini-course, but one that does instil
skills and knowledge for litigation. Supportive
professors are a definite plus during sessions such as
these.
The campus is generally liked by students, situated as
it is in a lively part of the country, with much to see and
do. Athletics figures highly at Emory University Law
School, with an athletic centre the school can be proud
of. Atlanta is sometimes affectionately called
‘Hotlanta’, due to the high number of festivals and
events going on throughout the year. (and the
ferociously hot summers!)
After students leave, there is a 98% employment rate
after graduation to look forward to. Prospects are very
good for an Emory University Law School grad, with
around 68% of grads finding employment in private
practice.
A lovely setting and a student driven culture make
Emory University Law School a school to keep in mind
when you are making your choices for a place to study,
