UDC Law School Admissions: LSAT, GPA, Cost, and Jobs (2025)
UDC's median LSAT is 151, the median GPA 3.3, and the acceptance rate 37%. The number worth pausing on is the bar pass rate, just 47.9% for the most recent cohort reported.
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 | 148 | 151 | 153 | 3.0 | 3.3 | 3.5 |

Your odds
A 151 LSAT lands you at UDC's median, with the middle 50% running 148 to 153, one of the lower bands in the country. At 37%, the acceptance rate still turns away most applicants despite that. Run your own numbers through the calculator before you assume this is an easy admit.
