CLASS STATISTICS

The statistics below are intended only as a guide. Please keep in mind that we value diversity at Penn Law – diversity in thought, background, ethnicity, political points of view, racial heritage, age, experience, and the like – and that the very nature of statistics cannot describe the extraordinary breadth of the Penn Law student body.

The best way to fully appreciate Penn Law is to visit. The Law School hosts information sessions for prospective students throughout the fall and spring semesters. Please check http://www.law.upenn.edu/prospective/visitus.html for current dates and times.
