ABA 509 DATA, 2025
Mississippi College Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
What matters most at Mississippi College is that the median LSAT has climbed 4 points in 6 years, from 148 to 152, while the median GPA sits at 3.4 and the acceptance rate at 59.8%. Even at that pace, 35.5% of the class still pays the full $37,980 sticker with no grant.
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 | 148 | 152 | 155 | 3.0 | 3.4 | 3.7 |
| 2019 | 145 | 148 | 152 | 2.9 | 3.2 | 3.4 |
| 2015 | 142 | 146 | 150 | 2.7 | 3.0 | 3.3 |
The median LSAT is up 4 points since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.2. The bar moved here.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $37,980/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $113,940 |
| Pays full sticker | 35.5% |
| Gets some grant | 64.5% |
64.5% of the class received some grant, but 35.5% paid full sticker, so a score above the 155 75th percentile matters more here.
Your odds
A 152 LSAT and 3.4 GPA put you at Mississippi College's median, not above it, since half the admitted class matches or beats those marks. Score 155 or better and you're in the top quarter, where the 59.8% acceptance rate is squarely in your favor; drop to 148 or under and the rest of your file has to carry more weight. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.

What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 78.2% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 7.3% |
| Federal clerkships | 4% |
| Government + public interest | 16.1% |
| Bar pass rate | 75.2% |
78.2% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, and with only 7.3% going into biglaw, the $113,940 sticker total over 3 years is a tougher bet for the 35.5% of the class paying it in full.
