2026 CLASS PROFILE AND ABA 509 DATA
Arizona State Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2026)
What matters most walking into ASU's numbers: a 165 median LSAT, a 3.9 median GPA, and a 19.8% acceptance rate tighter than the school's public reputation suggests. Nonresident tuition runs $52,099 a year, and getting in here is harder now than it was even a few years back.
The 2026 entering class
Arizona State Law School's 2026 entering class had a median LSAT of 165, the same as 2025. The median GPA was 3.91. The school hasn't published its 25th and 75th percentiles yet.

What it takes to get in
These are the school's own reported 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile LSAT and GPA numbers from its ABA Standard 509 filing, the same disclosure every accredited law school has to file each year. The 50th percentile is the median: half the admitted class scored above it, half below.
| Year | LSAT 25th | LSAT 50th | LSAT 75th | GPA 25th | GPA 50th | GPA 75th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 158 | 165 | 167 | 3.6 | 3.9 | 4.0 |
| 2019 | 156 | 164 | 165 | 3.4 | 3.8 | 3.9 |
| 2015 | 158 | 161 | 163 | 3.4 | 3.6 | 3.8 |
The median LSAT is up 1 point since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.1.
What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 93.5% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 20.6% |
| Federal clerkships | 3.1% |
| Government + public interest | 23.4% |
| Bar pass rate | 86.6% |
93.5% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, 20.6% went to biglaw, and 3.1% clerked for a federal judge, numbers strong enough that the debt math works even at the nonresident sticker price.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $52,099/yr |
| Resident | $28,390/yr |
| Nonresident | $52,099/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $156,297 |
| Pays full sticker | 3.6% |
| Gets some grant | 96.4% |
96.4% of ASU's class carries some grant and only 3.6% pay full sticker, so a score above the 167 75th percentile is the strongest position for pushing that $52,099 nonresident bill down.
