There is no such thing as a typical Southwestern student. Southwestern, like the city it calls home, is a paean to diversity.
Students here hail from across the country and around the world.
Their age range spans decades. They have completed undergraduate degrees at hundreds of different colleges and universities, in fields from art to science. Many have entered law school more than a year after college, and are veterans of careers in disciplines ranging from medicine to entertainment, accounting to zoology. In the midst of this remarkable diversity, there is one constant. Every Southwestern student has earned the right to be here through a record of exceptional academic and personal accomplishment and commitment.
