Re-application

Additional Information:

In 2012, Yale Law School received approximately 3,000 applications for the 205 spots in the first-year class. Each year we must turn away many well-qualified candidates. Applicants who are not admitted one year often choose to reapply.

Applicants who choose to reapply to the Law School need to follow the same steps that all first-year applicants to the J.D. program must follow. No materials from prior applications are included in a reapplication, and admissions decisions rendered in prior years will have no influence on a new application.
