Western New England Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
Apply to Western New England and the odds run in your favor before the numbers even come back: a 51.9% acceptance rate against a 153 median LSAT. The number that stings is on the other end, only 0.9% of 2024 grads landed a biglaw job.
What it takes to get in
These are the school's own reported 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile LSAT and GPA numbers from its ABA Standard 509 filing, the same disclosure every accredited law school has to file each year. The 50th percentile is the median: half the admitted class scored above it, half below.
| Year | LSAT 25th | LSAT 50th | LSAT 75th | GPA 25th | GPA 50th | GPA 75th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 149 | 153 | 156 | 2.8 | 3.3 | 3.6 |
| 2019 | 146 | 148 | 152 | 3.0 | 3.4 | 3.7 |
| 2015 | 143 | 147 | 152 | 2.8 | 3.1 | 3.5 |
The median LSAT is up 5 points since 2019 and the median GPA moved -0.1. The bar moved here.
What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 84.5% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 0.9% |
| Federal clerkships | 0.9% |
| Government + public interest | 28.2% |
| Bar pass rate | 68.6% |
84.5% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, but with only 0.9% in biglaw and tuition at $50,320 a year, the debt math is tight unless your grant offer is doing a lot of the work.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $50,320/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $150,960 |
| Pays full sticker | 18% |
| Gets some grant | 82% |
A score above the 156 75th percentile is the strongest position you'll hold with the aid office, and 82% of the class already received a grant, so only 18% paid full sticker.
Your odds
At a 153 LSAT and a 3.3 GPA, you're right at Western New England's median, not clearly above the pack, since half the admitted class matches those numbers too. Drop to 149 or below on the LSAT and you're in the bottom quarter, though a 51.9% acceptance rate still leaves real room. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
