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 | 160 | 162 | 164 | 3.5 | 3.8 | 3.9 |
| 2019 | 157 | 159 | 161 | 3.3 | 3.5 | 3.7 |
| 2015 | 153 | 156 | 158 | 3.1 | 3.3 | 3.6 |
The median LSAT is up 3 points since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.3. The bar moved here.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $61,396/yr |
| Resident | $30,354/yr |
| Nonresident | $61,396/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $184,188 |
| Pays full sticker | 9.1% |
| Gets some grant | 90.9% |
90.9% of Connecticut's class gets some grant money and only 9.1% pays full sticker, so a score above the 164 75th percentile is your strongest position to push that number down further.
Your odds
A 164 LSAT and up puts you in Connecticut's top quarter, 162 sits you right at the median, and 160 or below drops you into the bottom 25% of the admitted class. At a 20.1% acceptance rate, this is more selective than the LSAT numbers alone suggest. 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 | 89.3% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 17.3% |
| Federal clerkships | 0% |
| Government + public interest | 16% |
| Bar pass rate | 81% |
89.3% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months and 17.3% went to firms of 101 lawyers or more, though no one in that class reported a federal clerkship, numbers that make the resident tuition rate here a strong value.
