2026 CLASS PROFILE AND ABA 509 DATA
Florida State Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2026)

The 2026 entering 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 | 158 | 166 | 167 | 3.6 | 3.9 | 4.0 |
| 2019 | 155 | 160 | 161 | 3.5 | 3.7 | 3.8 |
| 2015 | 156 | 158 | 161 | 3.3 | 3.5 | 3.7 |
The median LSAT is up 6 points since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.2. The bar moved here.
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.
77.9% of the class received a grant and 22.1% paid full price, and a score above the 167 75th percentile gives you the strongest shot at landing in that discounted majority.
Your odds
A 166 LSAT is Florida State's median, with the middle 50% running from 158 at the 25th percentile to 167 at the 75th, a wider spread than the acceptance rate alone suggests. At 16%, this is a selective school even though it doesn't carry a private-school price tag. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
