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 | 164 | 165 | 3.6 | 3.8 | 3.9 |
| 2019 | 156 | 158 | 161 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 3.6 |
| 2015 | 154 | 157 | 160 | 3.1 | 3.4 | 3.6 |
The median LSAT is up 6 points since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.4. The bar moved here.
Your odds
A 164 LSAT and 3.8 GPA put you at Miami's median, not above it, since half the admitted class matches or beats those marks. Score 165 or higher and you're in the top quarter, where the 24.6% acceptance rate turns into real odds; fall to 160 or under and you're leaning hard on the rest of your file. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.

What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $66,720/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $200,160 |
| Pays full sticker | 35% |
| Gets some grant | 65% |
65% of the class received some grant, so a score above the 165 75th percentile matters more here than it does at schools where almost everyone gets a discount.
What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 89.9% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 30.9% |
| Federal clerkships | 1.2% |
| Government + public interest | 15.6% |
| Bar pass rate | 75.6% |
89.9% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, and with 30.9% going into biglaw, the $200,160 sticker total over 3 years is a real bet for the 35% of the class paying it without a grant.
