Your odds

A 161 LSAT sits you right at FIU's median, with the middle 50% running from 159 at the 25th percentile to 162 at the 75th. The acceptance rate is 18.8%, so this isn't a safety school even with strong numbers. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.

What it costs

Tuition isn't on file for this school in the 509 master for 2025 or 2024. Check the school's own site before you plan around a number.

Of 555 students: 45% pay full sticker, 28% get a grant under half tuition, 27% get half tuition or more.

55.1% of the class received a grant and 44.9% paid sticker, and a score above the 162 75th percentile puts you in the strongest position to be one of the ones who doesn't.
