Early Decision Program
 Download the Early Decision Agreement
Chicago-Kent College of Law offers a binding
Early Decision Program for applicants who know that Chicago-Kent
is their first choice for law school. The program permits applicants
to receive an admission and scholarship decision much earlier
in the application cycle. Early Decision applicants must make
a commitment to attend Chicago-Kent College of Law if admitted
and withdraw all other law school applications immediately after
notification. Although Early Decision applicants who are admitted
to Chicago-Kent will be considered for available merit scholarships
at the time of admission, the awarding of Federal and private
loans will not take place until the spring. Therefore, applicants
should only apply for the Early Decision Program if they are willing
to abide by the terms of the Early Decision Agreement and are
in a position to commit to attending Chicago-Kent even though
they will not have a complete financial aid award by the time
the tuition deposit is due.
Applicants who apply for admission under the Early Decision Program
must submit an application for admission and signed Early Decision
Agreement by November 1, 2007 and complete their admissions file
by November 15, 2007. In addition, Early Decision applicants must
agree not to submit an early decision application to any other
law school during the current admissions cycle and agree that
if admitted through the Early Decision Program they will immediately
withdraw all other law school applications, not submit any additional
applications, and will enroll at Chicago-Kent in Fall 2008.
Early Decision applicants will receive an admissions decision
by December 15, 2007 and will be required to pay a tuition deposit
by January 15, 2008. Applicants selected for scholarship awards
are typically notified in the acceptance letter. Early Decision
applicants may be admitted, denied or have their applications
held over for consideration during the regular application process.
Candidates who are not admitted under the Early Decision Program
are released from the terms of the Early Decision Agreement and
are not obligated to enroll if admitted later in the cycle. Chicago-Kent
reserves the right to provide other law schools with the names
of applicants admitted under the Early Decision Program.
Questions about the Early Decision Program should be directed
to the Office of Admissions at (312) 906-5020.
