Notre Dame Law School Class of 2026 Profile

 

With help from the Order of St. Thomas More members, the Notre Dame Law Class of 2026 is already one for the record books. We are extremely proud of these students who have proven themselves through academic excellence and dedication to protecting the common good.

The Class of 2026 has the highest median undergraduate GPA (3.83) and the highest median LSAT score (169) in Notre Dame Law School history.

In addition, with 35% of the class being students of color, this year’s 1L class is the second most diverse in the history of the Notre Dame Law School.

Order of St. Thomas More members ensure that no well-deserving student turns away from pursuing a mission-driven legal education for financial reasons. Thank you for making an impact and allowing the best of the best to pursue their mission-driven legal education at the University of Notre Dame.
