Loyola New Orleans Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
Enroll at Loyola New Orleans and the LSAT median has climbed 3 points in a decade, up from 151 to 154, while the median GPA sits at 3.5. Acceptance runs 50.9%, and the 66.3% bar pass rate for 2024 is the number worth sitting with before the deposit goes down.
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 | 157 | 3.2 | 3.5 | 3.7 |
| 2019 | 148 | 151 | 154 | 3 | 3.3 | 3.5 |
| 2015 | 147 | 151 | 154 | 2.9 | 3.1 | 3.5 |
The median LSAT is up 3 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 | 89.4% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 7.8% |
| Federal clerkships | 4.5% |
| Government + public interest | 15.6% |
| Bar pass rate | 66.3% |
89.4% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, but with a 66.3% bar pass rate and only 7.8% of graduates in biglaw, the $165,072 sticker total over 3 years needs a real grant behind it to make sense.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $55,024/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $165,072 |
| Pays full sticker | 22.6% |
| Gets some grant | 77.4% |
77.4% of the class received some grant, and 22.6% paid full sticker, so a score above the 157 75th percentile is the strongest position you'll have to push for a bigger discount.
Your odds
A 154 LSAT and 3.5 GPA put you right at Loyola New Orleans' median, not above it, since half the admitted class matches or beats those marks. Score 157 or better and you're in the top quarter, where the 50.9% acceptance rate turns into real odds; fall to 151 or under and you're leaning on the rest of your file. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
