Southwestern Law School Historical Acceptance Rate

Historical Acceptance Rates

The overall acceptance rate for Southwestern Law School in the application year 2024 is 36.2%, with 3,191 applicants and 1,156 students accepted. This marks a significant drop from the 50.4% acceptance rate seen in the previous two years (2023 and 2022), where 3,200 and 3,190 applicants were admitted, respectively.

This suggests a downward trend in acceptance rates recently, reinforcing the growing selectivity of the law school.
