The three-stage funnel
| Stage | Students | Share of applicants | Stage conversion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completed applications | 3,997 | 100% | — |
| Offers of admission | 2,450 | 61.30% | 1 in 2 |
| Enrolled (matriculated) | 445 | 11.13% | 1 in 6 |
| First-year class size | 451 | — | 98.7% filled |
Offer yield and class fill
These two ratios answer different questions, and both are reported because either alone can mislead.
| Measure | This school | National median | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offer yield (enrolled ÷ offers) | 18.2% | 31.6% | #1 of 194 |
| Class fill (enrolled ÷ class size) | 98.7% | 98.5% | #107 of 196 |
| Seats unfilled | 6 | — | — |
| Offers not taken | 2,005 | — | declined-offers ranking |
An offer yield of 18.2% means roughly 6 of the admitted students at this school ended up somewhere else. That is common across the profession — the national median is 31.6% — because admitted students hold and compare multiple offers. Class fill of 98.7% is the more relevant number: it shows whether the school filled the class it planned.

Source: New England Law/Boston ABA Standard 509 Required Disclosure, 2025 reporting cycle. Applications, offers and enrollees describe the most recent entering class. Offer yield is students enrolled divided by offers extended; class fill is students enrolled divided by first-year class size. Neither measure indicates school quality, and a declined offer usually reflects a student choosing another school rather than any judgment about this one. Data describes a single cohort and cannot show change over time.
