MAYBE THAT HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE HASN’T BURST YET: New Nashville Law School Opens With 30% More Students Than Expected.
The nation’s newest law school opened its doors on Aug. 25 to welcome its first class.
The Belmont University College of Law in Nashville has an incoming class of 130 students — 30 more than a feasibility study predicted, said Dean Jeff Kinsler. “We had a much higher yield on our offers than we thought we would,” he said.
That same feasibility study predicted that the class’ median score on the LSAT would be 152, but it ended up at 154.
On the other hand, two other new law schools haven’t done so well. Maybe it’s just the Nashville area.
