MSLB admission

All applicants to the Selig SLB Program are required to upload a video submission or elevator pitch. An elevator pitch is a brief, persuasive speech that will spark the admissions committee’s interest in a potential student.

Requirements for the video submissions

• Videos can be no longer than 1 minute and 40 seconds. Failure to adhere to this direction may result in a delay in reviewing the application. Applicants may only submit one video.
• You should create or upload an unlisted YouTube video and provide the link in a document that you upload with your application materials. To create or upload an unlisted YouTube video, take the following steps:
  • Click on the video camera icon in the top right corner on YouTube in a web browser, or the plus icon in the bottom ribbon on the YouTube mobile app. Through either menu you can record or upload.
  • If you are uploading a video, follow the upload instructions.
  • Under the visibility option for the video, select “Unlisted.”
  • To get the link for the video, go to “Your videos” on YouTube in a web browser. Click on the three dots icon for the video (you may need to hover on the web browser to get the three dots icon) and choose “Get shareable link” from the drop down menu. On the mobile app you will need to tap on “Library” to select “Your videos.” Tap on the three dots icon and choose “Share video.”
• Inappropriate content will not be reviewed. Videos that do not abide by the standards and character of ASU, ASU Law and the Selig SLB Program will not be considered.
• The Selig SLB Program wants applicants to be creative but be professional when developing their elevator pitch. The video should show the admissions committee who the applicant is and why they should be accepted into the program.
• All submitted videos should be well-lit and easy to hear. Please avoid filming in areas that are too dark or have substantial background noise. Have fun with this pitch! We want to see your personality.
• All video submissions must be uploaded under the Mandatory Attachments section under Supplemental Statements in the online application. All videos should be .mov or .mp4 files.

Applicants must include a transcript from each undergraduate and graduate school they have attended. The application will require you to upload a PDF.

If you received your degree from an institution outside of the U.S., please submit the following:

• TOEFL Score
• Transcript Evaluation through American Credential Evaluation Institute (ACEI)
