ABA 509 DATA, 2025
New Hampshire Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
Before applying to New Hampshire, an applicant needs the real numbers, not the brochure ones. Median LSAT is 155, median GPA 3.5, acceptance rate 52%. The number that hurts: the LSAT median has actually dropped a point since 2019.
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 | 155 | 159 | 3.1 | 3.5 | 3.7 |
| 2019 | 152 | 156 | 158 | 3.2 | 3.5 | 3.6 |
| 2015 | 153 | 157 | 159 | 3.2 | 3.5 | 3.6 |
The median LSAT is down 1 point since 2019 and the median GPA moved +0.0.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2025) | $50,000/yr |
| Resident | $42,000/yr |
| Nonresident | $50,000/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $150,000 |
| Pays full sticker | 30.6% |
| Gets some grant | 69.4% |
69.4% of the class gets some grant money and 30.6% pays full sticker, so a score above the 159 75th percentile matters more here for merit aid.
What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 87.2% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 11.2% |
| Federal clerkships | 0.5% |
| Government + public interest | 23% |
| Bar pass rate | 69.3% |
Only 87.2% of the 2024 class had a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, and with 11.2% in biglaw and a 69.3% bar pass rate, the $150,000 3-year sticker cost is a real risk without a grant.
Your odds
A 155 LSAT puts you at New Hampshire's median, inside the 151 to 159 middle 50%, and 52% acceptance means it's more open than closed for applicants in that range. Below 151 you're relying on the rest of the application to close the gap. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you spend a filing fee guessing.
