How the acceptance rate is worked out
142 offers of admission ÷ 273 completed applications = 52.0%
We divide offers by completed applications rather than reprinting a rate. The 509 report states 52.01%, which agrees with the division above. The rate counts every completed application, including applicants who never became competitive, so it is a measure of volume as much as of standards.

Wilmington University 509 report: common questions
Where can I find Wilmington University's ABA 509 report?
›
Every ABA-approved law school files a Standard 509 Information Report each year, and the ABA publishes them at https://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/. This page restates Wilmington University School of Law's 2025 report, covering the class that entered in 2025: LSAT and GPA percentiles, applications and offers, first-year class size, tuition, grants, bar passage and employment. The figures come from the school's own filing, not from a ranking or a survey.
What LSAT score do you need for Wilmington University?
›
Wilmington University School of Law reported a median LSAT of 149 for the class that entered in 2025. The middle 50 percent ran from 146 at the 25th percentile to 152 at the 75th. A score at or above 149 puts you at or above the median half of the class; below 146 you are in the quarter of admitted students who needed something else in the file to carry the application. Law schools do not publish a minimum LSAT, and these percentiles describe enrolled students rather than a cutoff.
What GPA do you need for Wilmington University?
›
Wilmington University School of Law reported a median undergraduate GPA of 3.13 for the 2025 entering class, with a 25th percentile of 2.67 and a 75th of 3.49. These are LSAC Credential Assembly Service GPAs, which are recalculated from every undergraduate transcript and can differ from the GPA on your degree certificate.
What is Wilmington University's acceptance rate?
›
142 of 273 applicants were offered admission for the 2025 entering class, an acceptance rate of 52.0%. That figure is offers divided by completed applications, both as filed in the 509 report. Of those admitted, 73 enrolled.
How much does Wilmington University cost?
›
Wilmington University School of Law filed full-time tuition of $838/cr per credit hour in its 2025 509 report. The median grant among students receiving one was $6,000, so the published price is not what most students pay. Living costs are reported separately and are not included in these figures.
