Georgetown Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
The Georgetown math in one line: a 171 median LSAT gets you in the door, and $250,728 in sticker tuition over 3 years gets you out the other side. The acceptance rate is 15.8%, the median GPA a 3.9, and 39.5% of the class pays that full amount.
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 | 166 | 171 | 173 | 3.8 | 3.9 | 4.0 |
| 2019 | 163 | 168 | 169 | 3.5 | 3.8 | 3.9 |
| 2015 | 161 | 167 | 168 | 3.5 | 3.8 | 3.9 |
The median LSAT is up 3 points since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.1. The bar moved here.
