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 | 153 | 156 | 3.2 | 3.4 | 3.7 |

What you get out (Class of 2024)
| Class year reported | 2024 |
| FT/LT employed, 10 months out | 78.5% |
| Biglaw (101+ lawyer firms) | 9.7% |
| Federal clerkships | 0% |
| Government + public interest | 11.8% |
| Bar pass rate | 68.5% |
78.5% of the 2024 class had a full-time, long-term job within 10 months, and with 9.7% in biglaw and a 68.5% bar pass rate, the low sticker cost is what carries the debt math, not the outcomes.
What it costs
| Sticker tuition (2024) | $32,008/yr |
| Resident | $19,126/yr |
| Nonresident | $32,008/yr |
| 3-year sticker total | $96,024 |
| Pays full sticker | 45.5% |
| Gets some grant | 54.5% |
54.5% of the class gets some grant money and 45.5% pays full sticker, so a score above the 156 75th percentile matters more here for merit aid.
