Bowen's incoming class
For the 2019 1L class, Bowen has seen a 15% increase in enrollment and an increase in both median GPA and median LSAT numbers. Of the new students, almost one-third are first-generation college graduates and slightly more than one-third are from out of state. Fun fact: the majority of first-year classes have to be held in the Friday Courtroom. It's the only room large enough to accommodate all of them.
