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 | 151 | 154 | 158 | 3.0 | 3.3 | 3.6 |

What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 85.3% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 3.9% |
| Federal clerkships | 0% |
| Government + public interest | 20.8% |
| Bar pass rate | 72.3% |
85.3% of the 2024 class landed a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, but with only 3.9% going into biglaw, the $165,900 sticker total over 3 years is hard to justify without a grant this packet can't quantify.
Your odds
A 154 LSAT and 3.3 GPA put you at Mitchell Hamline's median, not above it, since half the admitted class matches or beats those marks. Score 158 or better and you're in the top quarter, where the 51.4% acceptance rate is squarely in your favor; fall to 151 or under and the rest of your file has to carry more weight. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
