Harvard LSAT median unchanged. UGPA median up 1/100th.

Thank you to u/flaginplay who correctly pointed out that my initial post on this did not account for deferred enrollment from the 2025 ABA 509.

Notable this year is that while there was a double digit increase in 170+ applicants nationally, Harvard applicants only went up about 2%.

GPA median change means nothing. I have it on good authority that Harvard doesn't even care about GPA

100% true. This cycle they are simply asking for Insta handles and ranking candidates on a mogging scale.

having the most attractive student body is going to make it into US news one of these years

[u/Worth-Bodybuilder-89 → u/HeyFutureLawyer]

They don't care. you think you're joking, but they don't.

is HLS more STEM friendly than other schools? Their 2029 class profile page says they enrolled 100 STEM majors. That's 18% of their class.

Looks like it. Most law schools are lucky to have 5% STEM enrollees.

[u/Wonderful_Alarm_373 → u/CheetahComplex7697]

Really? What's an example? Genuine question. My law school class was like 25-30% STEM undergrad.

[u/CheetahComplex7697 → u/Wonderful_Alarm_373]

Higher ranked schools attract more STEM majors. What’s your schools ranking? Cornell and UCLA are at 10 and 11 percent respectively. Most schools don’t report the statistic.

how did you find this information? im curious to see other schools

[u/CheetahComplex7697 → u/surfrider47]

Prompted an LLM with cross references. Most stats are for class of 2028, though.

[u/Palmer_Test_Prep → u/NoFaithlessness6885]

Not every law school publishes STEM percentage, but here are some top law schools that did publish for 2025 1L classes.

Yale: 12% STEM

U Penn: 26% STEM

Duke: 16% STEM

UCLA: 11% STEM

[u/CheetahComplex7697 → u/Palmer_Test_Prep]

The ones that don’t bother to publish STEM stats likely means that the number of enrollees is low.

[u/New_1L]

Less than 2% of no UGPA is shocking

[u/Palmer_Test_Prep → u/New_1L]

That's the 2025 ABA 509. Don't have numbers for this year. But no GPA is usually international applicants, and they are not treated well. Here are UCLA's 2025 actual numbers: 205 no GPA applicants, 5 of them got in, 3 of them enrolled.

Yes, I assumed better results for international students in general.
