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.

Is Vermont Law School worth it at sticker?
This one needs a clear plan going in. Near-universal grant coverage helps bring down the real cost of $166,146, but an 80.1% placement rate and a 63.5% bar pass rate mean a meaningful share of each class doesn't land where they hoped. It works best for students set on environmental or public-interest law who go in with a grant, not full sticker.
