The original source was Gannett. Someone called up and asked about that language on that website and they said to ignore it and that it didn't apply to grad students. This was 4 years ago. I've been giving this advice every year, and neither I nor anyone in my class, the c/o 2017, or probably the c/o 2018 had to have a physical.cantexplaingottago wrote:What is your source?

This has been a source of confusion for at least the past 4 years.
It's possible they changed the policy, but it's also possible that "JD Admissions" is mistaken and just got fooled by the same language as everyone else. Ask around your class and see if everyone else got one.
For 0Ls, I'd recommend someone calls someone at Gannett or whatever office is listed as being responsible for these forms and confirm what the current policy is. But I'd be willing to bet you don't need one.
