Admissions
Each year, the Admissions Committee assembles an interesting and diverse class of students. We enroll a class whose members come from various races and ethnicities, ages, academic and professional backgrounds, and geographical areas.
The Admissions Committee carefully reviews each component of an applicant's file to determine if the applicant possesses the academic preparation and motivation necessary to complete the demanding workload of law school. While your LSAT score and undergraduate grade point average will certainly have strong impact on the Admission Committee decision, we also value the unique perspective your background and experiences will bring to the classroom.
Small First Year Sections
Western New England College School of Law offers small first-year sections. The small class sections are amongst the smallest in the country. This learning environment encourages more robust classroom discussion and gives students the opportunity to interact more with their peers and professors.
