UNLV's William S. Boyd School of Law ranked number five on a list of law schools with the highest yield rates for the 2015-2016 academic year, U.S. News & World Report recently found. Yield rates refer to the percentage of admitted students who actually choose to enroll. 

The Boyd School of Law had a 46.4 percent yield rate – in comparison, the average yield rate was 24.3 percent at the 195 schools that were numerically ranked. The top four law schools were Yale University, Brigham Young University, Harvard University, and Southern University Law Center. 

The rankings are presented in The Short List: Grad School, which are a part of the U.S. News Short List. Separate from the publication’s annual overall rankings, the U.S. News Short List is a regular series that magnifies individual data points in hopes of providing students and parents a way to find which undergraduate or graduate programs excel or have room to grow in specific areas.
