"Students need to study in a diverse environment because they will work in a diverse environment. And we have diversity here. One year, our oldest student was 66 and our youngest was 19. We've even had mothers and their sons or daughters enrolled concurrently. "Our students may be M.D.'s, R.N.'s, and Ph.D.'s, or they may come directly from their undergraduate experience. They may have graduated from schools in New York City, or from small Bible colleges in the Midwest. Some are first-generation college students, and some have parents with advanced degrees. "Diversity is also about opinions, ideas, and focuses, and that's important to us." |

If you wish to apply for admission to the JD Program at Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis, please complete the application through LSDAS at www.lsac.org.
LSDAS registrants can access the electronic application at no additional charge beyond the LSDAS fee and the law school's application fee.
Early Decision Program
The Early Decision Program is designed for JD Program applicants, who after careful consideration and research, have decided that Indiana University School of Law - Indianapolis is their first choice. This is a binding program. Files must be complete and include the application, letters of recommendation, personal statement and the LSDAS report by November 30. Therefore the LSAT must be taken no later than the October administration. Failure to meet the completion deadline will result in the application being considered in the regular decision process. The Early Decision Program applications are evaluated with the same admissions criteria as those for applicants who are evaluated under the regular decision process.
Early Decision Applicants will be notified of a decision by the end of December. Applicants may be admitted, denied, or held for later review. If an Early Decision Applicant is held for later review, the file will be reviewed again during the regular decision process. Early Decision Applicants who are accepted during the Early Decision Process, under the binding agreement, must withdraw all other law school applications, pay the required seat deposit and commit to attending Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis in the fall.
