ABA 509 DATA, 2025
Gonzaga Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
People assume a 51.1% acceptance rate means a school is a safe bet. Gonzaga's median LSAT is 155 and median GPA a 3.5, but only 77.7% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, and the bar pass rate sits at 69.3%.
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 | 153 | 155 | 158 | 3.2 | 3.5 | 3.8 |
| 2019 | 152 | 154 | 156 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 3.6 |
| 2015 | 151 | 153 | 156 | 3.0 | 3.2 | 3.5 |
The median LSAT is up 1 point since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.1.
Your odds
A 155 LSAT is Gonzaga's median, with the middle 50% running from 153 at the 25th percentile to 158 at the 75th, a tight range. The 51.1% acceptance rate is high for a law school. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.

What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $57,962/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $173,886 |
| Pays full sticker | 2.1% |
| Gets some grant | 97.9% |
97.9% of the class received a grant and just 2.1% paid full sticker, so a score above the 158 75th percentile puts you in the strongest bargaining position on top of an already generous baseline.
What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 77.7% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 5.4% |
| Federal clerkships | 0% |
| Government + public interest | 23.5% |
| Bar pass rate | 69.3% |
77.7% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, just 5.4% went to biglaw, and against $173,886 in sticker tuition over 3 years, that outcome rate makes the debt a real risk, not a formality.
