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. They have wide and varied cultural and ethnic backgrounds; they speak dozens of languages fluently.
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. They have chosen Southwestern because they see the value in the varied perspectives and life experiences their fellow students bring to the table. They are global citizens. They are true individuals. They are the future.
