ABA 509 DATA, 2025
Mississippi Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
What an applicant needs to know about Ole Miss first is the price: $19,797 a year in-state, against a 157 median LSAT, a 3.7 median GPA, and a 42% acceptance rate for the 2025 class.
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 | 155 | 157 | 160 | 3.4 | 3.7 | 3.9 |
| 2019 | 151 | 155 | 157 | 3.2 | 3.5 | 3.8 |
| 2015 | 151 | 155 | 157 | 3.0 | 3.4 | 3.6 |
The median LSAT is up 2 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 | 84.6% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 19.4% |
| Federal clerkships | 5.1% |
| Government + public interest | 16.6% |
| Bar pass rate | 73.7% |
84.6% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, and with 19.4% going into biglaw and in-state tuition under $20,000 a year, the $80,391 sticker total over 3 years is a manageable bet against those numbers.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $26,797/yr |
| Resident | $19,797/yr |
| Nonresident | $26,797/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $80,391 |
| Pays full sticker | 13.2% |
| Gets some grant | 86.8% |
86.8% of the class received some grant and just 13.2% paid full sticker, so a score above the 160 75th percentile is the strongest position you'll have to push for a bigger discount on an already low number.
Your odds
A 157 LSAT and 3.7 GPA put you at Ole Miss' median, not above it, since half the admitted class matches or beats those marks. Score 160 or higher and you're in the top quarter, where the 42% acceptance rate is squarely in your favor; fall to 155 or under and the rest of your file needs to carry more weight. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
