2026 CLASS PROFILE AND ABA 509 DATA
Drexel Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2026)
People assume a 160 median LSAT school this size gets you biglaw odds like a T14. Drexel's 25.0% biglaw placement says otherwise, though it's still a strong number for the tier. The acceptance rate is 29.6% on 2,689 applications, and 75.5% of the class gets some 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 | 154 | 160 | 162 | 3.4 | 3.8 | 3.9 |
| 2019 | 152 | 157 | 158 | 3.1 | 3.5 | 3.7 |
| 2015 | 153 | 155 | 158 | 3 | 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 you get out (Class of 2024)

| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 91.2% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 25% |
| Federal clerkships | 0.7% |
| Government + public interest | 24.3% |
| Bar pass rate | 76.8% |
91.2% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months and 25.0% went to firms of 101 lawyers or more, numbers that make the $171,000 3-year sticker a reasonable bet for most of the class.
Your odds
A 162 LSAT and up puts you in Drexel's top quarter, 160 sits you right at the median, and 154 or below drops you into the bottom 25% of the admitted class. At a 29.6% acceptance rate, a median score gives you real odds. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
