On Wednesday, April 17, 2013, Rick Carroll, Dean of Admissions at Virginia Intermont College, signed a Preferential Admission Agreement at the Appalachian School of Law. This agreement guarantees acceptance into the Appalachian School of Law for VI students who go through the law school’s application process and meet requirements in the agreement.
The requirements for preferential acceptance are: completion of a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Art degree at Virginia Intermont prior to the fall of law school entry, qualification based on GPA and LSAT score requirements, and a clean record with no disciplinary action for academic reason while at VI.
This agreement was put in place because of common goals and missions of both colleges: to provide the highest quality education for students from the historic Appalachian region.
The agreement is effective for Virginia Intermont students who apply for admission to Appalachian School of Law for the 2013-14 academic year.
