Meet Seton Hall Law School’s incoming class.
Seton Hall Law welcomes one the strongest and most diverse One L classes in its history,
with a median LSAT score of 160 and median undergraduate G.P.A. of 3.65. But the students
who comprise our tight-knit community are so much more than their test scores: they
offer a breadth of life experience that enlivens the classroom conversation and will
lead to creative law reform. Seton Hall Law employs broad admissions criteria to achieve
diversity of perspective and embraces those whose pathway to law school is unconventional.
Scholarships as well as day, evening, remote, and weekend classes create opportunities
for students who may not otherwise be able to access a law school education.
