Admissions Report
As we go to press, applicants pace back and forth waiting for good news to be delivered by the Post Office. Assistant Dean for Admissions Janice Austin and the Admissions Committee are reading files repeatedly before making their determination of who will be the Class of 2004. By now, the Class of 2003 has recovered from the nerve-wracking wait and is well through their first year of legal education at Penn Law School. The JD class includes 27 students who hold advanced degrees - ten MA degrees, two M.D. degrees, seven MS degrees, one MSW degree, one M.Ed., one MALD, one MPH, one Psy.D, and four Ph.D.s. The advanced education these students possess brings diverse insights and nontraditional professional experiences to the classroom, adding to a vigorous environment for interprofessional scholarship. Applicants who identified themselves as ethnic minorities increased by 3% and their enrollment increased by 2% over the previous year. The portrait of the ethnic minority community in the Class of 2003 includes 31 African-American students, 23 Asian-American students, and 19 Latin-American students. In another portrait, students from the countries of Japan, China, Taiwan,
Argentina, and Germany represent the majority of students in the LL.M.
program this year. The class of 2001 has 68 students chosen from 510 applicants
from twenty-two countries.
