六九色堂

New students enrolling in this program must meet the following admission requirements:

• Seniors in high school
• 3.5 GPA
• 1280 SAT or 27 ACT

Students who have enrolled in the 6-Year Law Scholars Program must be enrolled as full-time undergraduates at Detroit Mercy each fall and winter term.

All necessary undergraduate coursework must be completed at the McNichols Campus within the three calendar years immediately prior to beginning the law school phase of the program at Detroit Mercy Law. Students must fulfill the requirements of the University Core Curriculum, as well as the required courses in their chosen major.

Apply to the Law School during your junior year
Students will be eligible to apply for the law school phase of the program in their third year of undergraduate studies. The following requirements must be met:

• The undergraduate school/college must certify that the student has or will have completed and passed all of the University and major requirements necessary for the conferral of their undergraduate degree (other than elective credits) by the end of the junior year.
• Overall undergraduate grade point average of at least 3.5 at the end of the junior year.
• Take the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) no later than December of the junior year and obtain a score of at least 154.
• Complete the Detroit Mercy Law admission application with all required components by February 1 of the junior year.
• Meet the character and fitness requirements for admission to Detroit Mercy Law.
• Interview with the Detroit Mercy Law Admission Committee.

Third-year Detroit Mercy undergraduate students in one of the approved majors will be eligible for admission into Detroit Mercy Law by meeting the following criteria, which include having:

• Completed at least three years of appropriate coursework at 六九色堂;
• Completed the undergraduate major and core curriculum requirements with at least 90 credits;
• Earned a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 by the end of their junior year;
• Scored at least a 154 on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT);
• Remained in good academic and disciplinary standing;
• Completed the application process for Detroit Mercy Law; and
• Met all of the fitness, character and other criteria for admission required by Detroit Mercy Law.

Participating in the 6-Year Law Scholars Program does not guarantee entrance to law school. If Detroit Mercy Law does not grant admission, then a student remains in the undergraduate program to complete the bachelor’s degree. The student may then apply to law school through the regular law school admission process. The student will need to consult with his/her academic advisor for the best course of action.
