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 | 159 | 164 | 165 | 3.5 | 3.8 | 3.9 |
| 2019 | 157 | 160 | 161 | 3.4 | 3.6 | 3.7 |
| 2015 | 158 | 160 | 162 | 3.3 | 3.5 | 3.7 |
The median LSAT is up 4 points since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.2. The bar moved here.
What it costs

| 3-year sticker total | $193,632 |
| Pays full sticker | 3.1% |
| Gets some grant | 96.9% |
96.9% of Baylor's class carries some grant and only 3.1% pay full sticker, so a score above the 165 75th percentile is your strongest position for pushing that $64,544 bill toward free.

| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 13.1% |
| Federal clerkships | 6.6% |
| Government + public interest | 25.8% |
| Bar pass rate | 91.6% |
98% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, 13.1% went to biglaw, and 6.6% clerked for a federal judge, numbers strong enough that the debt math works even at full sticker.
