SULC ranked #4 in highest yield of student enrollment
When prospective students are offered a seat in the incoming class at Southern University Law Center, they mostly like will accept, according to a recent report by U.S. News & World Report.
The U.S. News stated that SULC has a 51.5 percent yield rate—meaning the percentage of accepted students who enroll—placing it at #4. This ranking was also recently published in the ABA Journal’s article, “Applicants at these law schools were most likely to accept admission offer.”
“This news is attributable to the great effort each one of you makes every day at SULC,” Chancellor John K. Pierre said to the Law Center’s more than 80 administrative staff and faculty.
This ranking puts SULC behind only Yale University, Brigham Young University, and Harvard University. The Law Center is one of only two historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) that made it into the top 10, the other weighed in at #10.
U.S. News reported that among all 195 ranked schools that submitted these data, the average yield was about 24.3 percent. “In comparison, the average yield was much higher for the 10 schools on the list: 52.4 percent,” the report stated.
SULC ranked fourth in 2013, the first time U.S. News and World Report issued this ranking.
