ABA 509 DATA, 2025
Elon Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
What an Elon applicant needs to know first: a 154 median LSAT, a 3.4 median GPA, and a 53.2% acceptance rate on 1,107 applications. The number that should slow you down is the bar pass rate, just 59.3% for the 2024 class, even with a strong 95.0% FT/LT placement rate.
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 | 151 | 154 | 158 | 3.1 | 3.4 | 3.7 |
| 2019 | 146 | 149 | 152 | 3.0 | 3.2 | 3.5 |
| 2015 | 145 | 147 | 150 | 2.8 | 3.1 | 3.4 |
The median LSAT is up 5 points since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.2. The bar moved here.
What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 95% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 7.1% |
| Federal clerkships | 1.4% |
| Government + public interest | 25% |
| Bar pass rate | 59.3% |
95.0% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, but only 59.3% passed the bar on the first try, a gap worth weighing carefully against the $135,999 3-year sticker.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $45,333/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $135,999 |
| Pays full sticker | 10.2% |
| Gets some grant | 89.8% |
89.8% of Elon's class gets some grant money and only 10.2% pays full sticker, so a score above the 158 75th percentile is your strongest position to push that number down.
Your odds
A 158 LSAT and up puts you in Elon's top quarter, 154 sits you right at the median, and 151 or below drops you into the bottom 25% of the admitted class. At a 53.2% acceptance rate, a median score gives you strong odds. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
