UNM Law School Admissions Data Revealed | Santa Fe News

The University of New Mexico Law School is facing controversy over admissions, but faculty data reveals a strong local commitment: 266 of 296 incoming students are New Mexico residents. Admissions rates for locals hit 58%, up from 43% in 2011, amid a broader “enrollment cliff” trend. Using a holistic review since 2013, the school prioritizes community impact, local ties, and diversity — including a stable 7.77% Native American enrollment (down by just one from 2021-22). Median LSAT scores also rose under Dean Carey, and Chicano student numbers are growing. The facts challenge claims of systemic exclusion, showing a deliberate, inclusive strategy serving New Mexico’s diverse communities.
