Western New England University

Western New England University admits a moderately selective applicant pool — approximately 52% of applicants receive offers. While the LSAT remains important, the school's broader band of admitted scores means applicants near the median have a realistic pathway to admission when supported by a compelling overall application. Enrolled students posted LSAT scores from 150 at the 25th percentile to 156 at the 75th percentile, a typical 6-point spread that reflects a fairly defined applicant profile. This profile makes Western New England University a reasonable match school for applicants whose LSAT scores fall in the mid-range of the reported distribution.

Western New England University sits in the mid-range tuition tier relative to ABA-accredited law schools. The full-time non-resident tuition is $50,320 per year plus $2,700 in required fees. Living costs off campus are estimated at $20,731 per year. While not among the highest-cost programs, three-year total costs remain significant — typically $150,960 in tuition alone. Merit scholarships, where available, provide meaningful leverage for cost reduction. Prospective students are encouraged to model total cost of attendance including living expenses and compare net cost across admitted institutions before making a final enrollment decision.

Scholarship funding at Western New England University is widely distributed: 82% of full-time students receive some form of grant aid. The substantial median scholarship of $30,000 per year — ranging from $23,000 at the 25th percentile to $35,000 at the 75th percentile — indicates that merit and need-based awards are broadly available. This high grant prevalence suggests that applicants with above-median academic credentials have a realistic opportunity to reduce their cost of attendance meaningfully. Prospective students should request a scholarship estimate directly from the financial aid office and should not assume that the sticker price reflects what most students actually pay.
