Fall 2024 Entering JD Class

We were delighted to welcome our Fall 2024 entering class to Washington, DC, during orientation in August. They are an exceptionally talented group of students selected from 8,091 applicants. We enrolled 528 first-year students (503 full-time and 25 part-time).

Entering 1Ls had a median GPA of 3.87 and a median LSAT of 168. Students arrived from 15 countries and 42 states, plus the District of Columbia. The most common states represented in the entering class were California, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Texas. Sixty-one percent of students identify as female and 44% self-identify as a member of a community that historically has been underrepresented in the legal profession, including first-generation college students. Their median age at enrollment was 23.
