The three-stage funnel
| Stage | Students | Share of applicants | Stage conversion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Completed applications | 1,317 | 100% | — |
| Offers of admission | 786 | 59.68% | 1 in 2 |

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) | 35.1% | 31.6% | #134 of 194 |
| Class fill (enrolled ÷ class size) | 99.6% | 98.5% | #163 of 196 |
| Seats unfilled | 1 | — | — |
| Offers not taken | 510 | — | declined-offers ranking |
An offer yield of 35.1% means roughly 3 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 99.6% is the more relevant number: it shows whether the school filled the class it planned.

Source: Widener University Delaware Law School 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.
