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 | 149 | 153 | 157 | 3.1 | 3.4 | 3.7 |
| 2019 | 148 | 152 | 155 | 2.9 | 3.2 | 3.6 |
| 2015 | 144 | 147 | 151 | 2.8 | 3.1 | 3.5 |
The median LSAT is up 1 point since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.2.
Your odds
A 153 LSAT sits right at New England Law's median, inside the 149 to 157 middle 50%, and 61.3% acceptance means most applicants in that band get an offer. Fall below 149 and the odds get thinner fast, even at a school this accessible. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.

Is New England Law worth it at sticker?

Most of the class gets one, so check your own offer before ruling it out.
